I am really disappointed

You build Ball State from scratch (thanks Brady Hoke). You build Baylor from scratch (thanks Art Briles).

You do not build Tennessee from scratch. A coach here has a near unlimited recruiting budget and some of the nicest facilities in the country. You are slapping the history and tradition of this program in the face when you say "Dooley is building from nothing".

You're pissing on General Neyland, Carl Pickens, Condredge Holloway, Dale Jones, Dale Carter, Reggie White, Willie Gault, Eric Berry, Larry Seviers, Hank Lauricella, Johnny Majors, Doug Atkins and everyone else that's ever suited up for Tennessee.

Stop the excuses and admit that Dooley is in over his head.

I get all of that, but you can't just pretend that the Dooley situation happened in a vacuum.

Like it or not, we were forced back to "scratch". Dooley may not be the guy, but pretending that he's the guy that solely drove it into the ground and another coaching change will fix things tomorrow is simpleton thinking and you know it.

Wow. You are even dumber than you appear. This program was in shambles 2 years ago, and by many accounts, is still in the crapper.

Every team goes through a rebuilding process. Call it "from scratch"; call it "being in the crapper"; call it "we suck right now and we all hope we get better". But call it what it is - a process. Lengthening that process by plugging in a new coach every year or 2 is ridiculous.

How things really work? You mean like when Wilcox and Sirmon jumped off the sinking ship before being caught without a pfd? Do you mean how coach Baggett was asked to leave because the head coach sided with an idiot receiver that is running the locker room? Is that how things really work?

Some of you need to realize that people aren't just looking at the record that want Dooley gone. The guy is too scared of Randy Shannon's resume to hire him but he is the right man for the job? Okay.

Can you provide any real facts to back up your assumptions? My guess is "no".

It's obvious he's not fixing a damn thing. He's going to get 4 or 5 million dollars for trying. I don't blame Dooley for the shape it was in when he got here. I have no problem rebuilding.

When you look incompetent for 2 years it's the coach, not the situation the coach is in.

I thought Dooley was rebuilding it?

It may very well be the head coach. My point though is that the cost of another quick coaching change still outweighs the benefit until at least next year.

I bash people more for having zero common sense, than I do for differing opinions. You just get the brunt because your common sense post % is lower than Amy Winehouse's blood alcohol level.

You are the king of zero common sense. This post pretty much proves that. :thumbsup:

So you don't read VN?

The vast majority of sane fans are in the wait and see mode with these young players and new coaches. The fringes are just more vocal. They are always trying to convince themselves and others that they are right, and look forward to "i told you so's" when it all pans out.
If you don't like Dooley, who cares. But to act like you know what the next 2 years with his staff and these players will amount to is a joke. And to think another coach (outside of 1 or 2 in the ncaa) would automatically come in and start winning is a joke as well.

If Dooley wasn't getting year 3, he'd already be shown the door.

So, lay it out for us. If you were Hart, you'd fire Dooley today? After signing day? After the KY loss?

And you'd replace him with who? How would you hold this years recruiting class together? How would you hold our current roster together?

We are just curious about your line of thinking here.....or at least I am.
