I want Dooley back for 2013

IF we finish the season 9-4 with a bowl win. If you would rather us lose than for Dooley to come back next year then you should be ashamed of yourself. Anyone with half a brain said before the season started that 10-3 was the absolute best case scenerio. Yes, the no questions asked, #1 team in the nation made us look bad, but, we have had our chances against what is currently the #2 team in the nation and the #11 and 12 teams in the country. Going into USCjr and getting a win could still be the signature victory that Dooley needs. I for one hope he gets it and finishes the season on a 6 game winning streak. Shame on you if you dont want the same.

Also, anyone with half of a brain knows we will not finish 9-4.
 
problem is you would pull for KY against us just to get rid of Dools. I for one hope we win out. Whats so wrong with that?

Just like I knew we would surely beat Ky last year. Just like I hoped we would beat fla, I hoped we would beat Georgia, I hoped we would beat miss state and had little hope of beating BAMA and no hope left. So Happy Gilmore keep hoping. Have you ever noticed that stupid people are always happy. That's because they are too da// stupid to know when something is wrong
 
Lol at the fact that the best responses in this thread have come from Gator and Bama fans.

The original post is straight up retarded and creates a circular argument. He doesn't want to know if we "think" we'll go 9-4, he wants to know if we "hope" we go 9-4. How cute is that? This team is NOT going 9-4 first and foremost, and that is because our coach is TERRIBLE!!! I think the vast majority of us would greatly enjoy being 9-4, but it will not happen. Book it!! Dooley is an awful coach and will continue to prove it!!

I kind of feel bad for Hart. He walked into a tough situation with an absolutely DREADFUL coach in place, an AD that is already paying for past mistakes, and will likely have to find another coach after this joke ends up 6-6 again. Truly a sad situation at UT.

Sorry the concept is too complicated for you. Its not that hard to play along with though. I hope we win out and retain Dools because we finish strong and avoid another coaching change. You can have the opinion that you want to win out and still fire Dools, if thats the case I hope you realize no one in their right mind would come here to coach when 9-4, in their 3rd season after a total rebuild, while only losing to top 15 teams, is not good enough. You can want us to lose a couple more games so there is no doubt that Dools will be fired. You can hope we beat USCjr and lose to someone like Missouri / Vandy or KY so that Dools still probably gets fired (worst case scenerio IMO). Bottom line is...because of the hatred for Dools, most of you if you are honest do not want this team to finish 9-4 because you know that means he stays. I dont think we finsh 9-4, but I hope we do. I can honestly say that I want to win out, can you?
Truth is, most of you beat around the bush and say "it aint gonna happen so it doesnt matter". Thats the cowardly way most have answered the simplest question of all....do you want to win? I do.

Thinking Dooley is the right coach is down right retarded.

Didnt say I think he is, I just still have hope that he can be. At this point I realize the chances are slim. I just dont hate him so bad that I hope he and our team fails like some do.

So because your little feelings got hurt, you no longer hope this team wins.

Sad. Really sad.
 
I'd probably just not watch the game and hope for the best. I can't pull against the Vols.

I'd also have a problem watching one of my granddaughters be operated on. If I knew it would save their lives, I'd sure want it to happen.

If we knew a SC loss would pretty much guarantee a marquee hire, which would guarantee marquee recruits, then yeah, it would be painful, but the end justifies the means.

Thanks, another honest answer. Thats about 3 or 4 out of the 130 posts. Congrats to you. I do disagree though.
 
Yeah, you can't fire him with 9-4. That is why we are waiting until Monday. We can fire him at 3-5

I would tend to agree with this concept. Firing him while 3-5 removes all doubt about what to do if we were to miraculously finish 8-5. However, I will stick to my original high hopes of finishing 9-4 regardless of how unlikely it may be.
 
I "Want" Tennessee to be 9-4 at the end of the season, I also want to be in a hot tub with Maria Sharapova, neither of which is going to happen. I love my Vols and I still cheer for them every Saturday but I also live in reality ..... Dooley is a great guy (no doubt) just dont think at the end of the day he is a good x' and o's guy

Maybe playing at noon will help then. :dance2:
 
You probably rember a time when we didnt go through 3 coaches in 3 years too im guessing. If Dools happens to miraculously finish 9-4 and then get fired...who in their right mind would want to come here and coach? I know it probably wont happen but that doesnt stop me from hoping it does.
Anyone that looks at the talent on this roster and sees how poorly it has been utilized. Again it isn't about the record it is about how poorly we have performed on the field and how lost these kids look right now.

We are in a lot better shape right now than we were when we hired Dooley.
 
I am with you OP. I hope we win out. Even if we lose to SC, and win the rest, I think it would be wrong to fire CDD. Now if we go 6-6 or worse, I may have to rethink my position. The way I see it, 1st yr we were just plain bad. 2nd yr better but not competitive in big games. This yr we have been competitive just no big wins yet. To me, this shows improvement every yr. VFL program and conduct of the team in general has been great. Give him some time folks, Gruden is not coming to save us and I dont want Petrino. Yall may be running off the next best guy out there. Every time there is a coaching change there is a drop off before he gets his system in place. Offense has been good, not great, but def. has been bad, give CSS and CDD one more year then decide. They might just surprise you. Go Vols

Dooley is not the answer and doesn't deserve one more year. Ron Zook was fired after 3 years with a better record, and he actually beat some teams when it matter. We will never compete for the SEC title with Dooley as coach, but lets keep him another year. Urg!

the talent is on the O side of the ball,the D is hurting
 
For the record, were down 14 at the half to USC jr and I still hope we finish 9-4 and Dools comes back next year.

If we lose, I still hope we finish 8-5. I also hope they go ahead fire Dools after the game instead of waiting till the end of the season. Sucks for the players and for us as fans but I will be ready to cut him loose. I wont be mad at him and I will appreciate his effort and his love for the traditions he embraced while here at UT. Wish him the best of luck. Bottom line.....the #1 tradition at UT is winning and i'm sorry to say but he hasnt embraced it nearly enough.

Sad. Really sad.

No the point is that you are too stupid to realize that we have a coaching problem. Therefore, I shouldn't be surprised that you couldn't grasp the point that I clearly made.

don't get me wrong i want that right with you. For that to happen, however, I will first see a short guy and a tall guy in white suits, saying WELCOME TO FANTASY ISLAND

You sir are an idiot. Now weve both called each other a name. I feel better.

I'm sure you give Obama the same benefit of doubt.
 
When one of the coaches we offered the HC job turned us down, he said "it will take a long time to get this team back to being competetive again and the fans will not allow it". He was right. I can't imagine what it has been like for the Dooley family. Young kids seeing/hearing what the "fans" put out there. Writing on the rock for players and families to see. So embarrassing. We all want to win. I don't think there was a long line of people trying to take the job. I doubt Dooley was ever hurting for money either. Give him some respect. He gave respect to UT when others did not.
