Hypothetical Situation...

[zjcvols]

Good info, man. I wish Coach Thompson the best of luck. He deserves it if he can get the job.

And no less than 15 minutes later

I think it's awhile before Dooley is guaranteed next year.

dooley will be the coach in 2012. that is already guaranteed..

 

[justingroves]

A new coach wouldn't have time to secure them. They sign Dec 21st and are EE's. I love how you seem to think a few juco guys can't make a difference. Need a history lesson last is only one year old????

3 JUCOs did absolutely nothing last year for Tennessee

No it's not.

 

[LawVol13]

dooley will be the coach in 2012. that is already guaranteed..

Even if essentially the entire staff leaves?

 

[BruinVol]

Does Dooley actually give you hope of ten wins? We're likely going to have a staff half full of scrubs next year. No good coach is going to jump on this ship.

10 not so much. 8 maybe 9 darn right. I have already stated my opinion of hiring new staff members.

I think if he wins 7, they will retain him another year.. maybe even 6.. 5 or less he might have a problem

Then that's a joke if true.

 

[LWSVOL]

So two five win seasons and he MIGHT have a problem? SMH

sure might. what if he does. they put out feelers and can get no nibbles for any amount of money that they feel is better. what do they do?? they keep what they got...

Are you referring to the JUCO guys from 2011 class? Last I looked, this team regressed.

he will be coach if entire staff leaves all 9

Get better bait.

2 of the 3 were darn good. One is going to be special.

I never doubted you, zjc. But, the timing of it makes you look pretty impressive, I'll admit.

Mo Couch counts as two people?

 

[bpalmer28]

3 JUCOs and 8 wins, who could ask for more than that?

There is so much that you don't understand

Trust me, it's nothing special. I have no special sources in UTK or Michigan, which I actualy care about lol

We have typical dysfunction in a team devoid of leadership. My only fear is that the guys getting older never learned what leadership is. That would be true for any coach coming in. Look at what FL posters said about the Meyer squad at the end of last year. Supposedly they refused to get off the bus and practice in pads. That was rumored to be the entire offense and they got what they wanted. Fast forward to this year for the gators sprinkled with injuries like us, not much better. The offensive unit sat on the bus at KY. It's a mess no matter what they do to bandaid it. It will take new good players challenging the cocky ones we have now to truly get crap back in order. Our best shot at that appears to me to be one more year of DD and the recruits and then see if light bulbs go on or out.

Lanier was "darn good"?

I missed all those plays he made.

It's probably because the camera couldn't get him in the picture due to the WR having 8 yards of separation

 

[justingroves]

Enlighten me, please.

What about the team that won a big trophy?? That DL they got from the juco ranks made a little difference.

We won five games. We regressed.

 

[TheVolunteer]

he will be coach if entire staff leaves all 9

Not smart on the AD department if thats the truth. Dooley might have walked into a mess, but he has proven absolutely nothing other than being able to recruit at a national level. He wasn't a winner at his previous job, and he hasn't shown anything to prove he will be a winner at Tennessee. Why keep him when we can afford a proven winner to come coach our Vols?

The guard that didn't do anything but take up bench space his first year?

In his second year and I'd love to see how that team does with Chris Todd at QB.

Well might as well not worry about it. Hopefully this team matures and finds out it's a team game in the offseason. If not, we'll not have to worry about hypotheticals next year. Sucks we'll have to sit through it again but that's what is going to happen.

As far as sellouts at the stadium, doubt they get one next year.
