How many wins in 2012 to keep his job

[mwellham]

He has to win at least 9 and be in contention for the East late in the season!

8 at the very lowest and it may still be hot after that. 9 to be truly and completely safe.

Gotta have 8 or he will feel some serious heat. He will then be expected to compete for an SEC title in his 4th year. Honestly, returning 18 starters, he should compete for an SEC championship next year.

Let me rephrase... "Games we shouldddd win..."

IMO, 8 is the realistic number. Anything above that would be a bonus.

I think 7 regular season wins. If he goes 6-6 or worse in regular season, then he is toast. Also, game prep and decision making will come into play. If you see tremendous upgrades there, then I think he is okay if he loses a bowl and goes 7-6. But they have to get over .500 in the regular season.

Hart needs to tell Dooley if he wins less than 8 games, he's history. THere is no reason for us to accept the bull crap that is being put on the filed. I have had season tix for over 20 years and contributed over $30,000 including tix over that time. May not be alot compared to others but I'm about sick of the product I am currently paying for. Too bad it's not a money back guaranteed purchase!

might as well go ahead and start packing then

I don't see that much improvement coming in one year,,from one SEC win to contending for the title,,can happen but i don't see it from this team and staff,,truly don't.

 

[SGMVols]

Minimum of 8, regardless of circumstances.

How many games do the Vols need to win next year for Coach Dooley to keep his job?

I say at least 9.

O. He shouldn't be given another year.
