Ok guys lets settle down before we get something we might regret next year. If our defense had been any better we could very easily be 7-1 instead of 3-5 with the Alabama game being the only game we didn't even compete in. We were up on Florida then our defense gave up the big play to many times and we end up losing to a team who is number two in the BCS and who USCe and LSU couldn't move the ball against. Georgia we end up batling back from being down 28-10 to only losing by 7 I know we all want to blame Tyler for that game me included but if the defense wasn't so shakey then we could have one that game. We were in that Miss. St. game until the very end when TN gave up a garbage td late that didn't really mean anything, to me that was a three point game but again because the defense is still shakey we lose by 10. I'm not even going into the Alabama game we didn't even show up for that game. The Bama game and the Akron game early have been the two most frustrating game this year. Then today I am proud to say that we have the best offensive line in the country period who contained the best pass rusher for the entire game except for the very end and we had to battle the refs as well. We have also made significant improvements in the game besides defense. We are second in special team yards thanks to CP, when on Dooley's first year we couldn't even field a punt. We are averaging somewhere between 130 and 150 yards rushing a game where as to last year we couldn't pull a hundred. I hope that with one more year we can sure up our defense and watch our alignment on D and on special teams then no matter what our squad looks like next year with who stays and who goes that Dooley can get this thing turned around lets at least give him through November then if November goes south then we can have our debate on the next headcoach. This is not that bad of a team we are close and it is easy to see that our best coaches are on offense and not on defense. Dooley is not the problem.

Sorry for the long post but I had to get this off my chest before the Gruden lovers call for Dooley's head for the rest of the year.

Now imagine if you were a Gator fan in 2004 trying to defend Zook.

Think of how it might have turned out

And if a horse had wings it could fly. We are witnessing the worst defense in the history of UT football and you want to keep these coaches around? Seriously?

Defense is worse than when Dooley took over. He may have the offense looking good, but he was not hired to be an OC. The head coach needs to produce an entire team on game days.

my summary of this post...

well shucks, we cant beat anybody good, but if we can beat the terrible teams that we have left on the schedule that means we shouldnt get a coach that might actually not be the worst in the sec (history?).

this is ridiculous, no more excuses, dooley must go

Yeah, let's bring Dooley back for another year of failures. While we're at it let's remove the upper decks from Neyland Stadium as well. They'll just be used by visiting fans anyway.

The guy could coach here another five years and we'd not get a sniff of Atlanta.

Keep Dooley or become a contender. Take your pick.

OP posts the same thing that's been posted 100 times this past week. A bunch of "if this, if that, woulda, coulda, shoulda".

Poor Dooley--and us: We cannot catch a break to save our lives. I blame Bray: Great game but you have to get rid of the ball. Great games that end in losses are losses--and he's done this two or three times this year.
