If I wanted to "troll" programs/organizations that made terrible hires, I'd be on a South Florida or Denver Broncos board.

Whatever, this argument is going to go nowhere. We are both going to stick to our opinions, so let's just agree to disagree.

Kiffin61, i dont get what you are trying to pull here. you claim to be a Vols fan, but you are really coming off as Kiffin and Ogre's tool shed, if you catch my drift. they are gone, homie. nobody is wanting to argue with your @ss. many people, on here, are trying to focus on the few positives in our program, right now, and its always the same s***. i could give a d@mn if jim tressel won 60 world titles at youngstown state. i could give a d@mn if brian kelly parted the sea at cincinatti. our coach is our coach. period. we all have to accept it and no amount of whining and comparing is going to change that. i can understand, calling for his head, if we are in the same boat, three years from now. but all this negativity, at this point, is absolutely pointless.

ive never used it but i am tempted. i understand not being thrilled with the hire but this has been Fulmer all over again, before the guy even gets to coach 1 game. i also even understand that some of the pro-Dooley extremists get carried awaid, too, but overoptomistic(sp) is humerous. overpessimistic just drags everyone down. what is the fun in that?

If we had fired Kiffin to hire Dooley, there would be a point to all these arguments.

I agree. Let me add this:

Sure, Dooley's hire can be labeled risky or considered questionable. Unfortunately, given Kiffin's untimely departure, a fair amount of risk was going to be involved in every potential hire anyway.

Comparing Dooley to whomever doesn't change the fact that UT wasn't going to attract a top tier BCS coach so late in the year. I don't recall many NFL coaches banging down the door either. And the open market was bare.

An unproven coach was pretty much destined to be heading up UT the day Kiffin left for USC. IMHO, UT could have done far worse under the circumstances.

You got me and I deserve you calling me out. I'll take the heat! I would have done the same. It was a stupid mistake, but I'm sure you know what I meant.

I'm in total agreement. To all the Dooley haters who have damned this hire from the first day I would like to know who you wanted for the the HC position...that is someone who hadn't turned it down already or is in no way going to leave their current job. I've been in Volnation since LK left and have seen and heard all the negative posts about this hire but I have yet to see who they think we should have got as our HC.
