At the time, Kiffin was a great hire. Look at the positives Kiffin brought to TN.If he is such a genius, why wasn't Dooley hired 14 months ago? Hamilton takes all the blame for the Kiffin hire and the mess we were left in as a result. Is Dooley a good hire; only time will tell. I was very impressed with his press conference and think he will at least bring honor back to Neyland.
I back Dooley and believe he may be here for a while. (A lot probably has to do with hope right now more than anything else.) But, Dooley is also a gamble. Because the "genius's" previous hire left us in a terrible situation, a gamble was our best option, but don't start translating that as a genius move.
The guy can recruit. He's a workhorse. He knows how to take nothing and turn it into something. He's not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty no matter what the cost.
I think this is a sad day to be a UT fan. Not because the hire. Simply listening to the callers on the sports monster today and then getting on here tonight and listening to people complain about this Man. Maybe it is a bad decision for Hammy. WE ARE VOLS FANS! We should be supporting our program, not slamming our AD about his hire. Lame Kiffin crapped on our players first and for most then us. The fans should unite for the players and our incoming recruits, To show them this is Tennessee and we want them here and that will build into something. GO VOLS!
