Please go ahead and say how many years. I heard someone on here said Pearl would be fired within 2 years, 3 maximum. That person never admitted they are a horses ass.

Need to repent for that potty mouth.

Maybe a 3-day vacation would help you.

YouTube - Tennessee Introduces Lane Kiffin - 12/01

This.

This is what is opening my eyes to how many sheep we have as UT fans, at least around here. This same time last year we all were so excited because of Lane Kiffin and a lot of it was because of "what a great press conference he had".

Now a year later Kiffin is trash and suddenly EVERYONE says they never trusted him and didn't like his style and didn't like his press conference and blah blah blah blah.

Give me a break. I understand accepting the decision and giving a chance, but that's not what is going on here. After ONE press conference, so many are gushing on over the hire, proclaiming "We made the right choice", and talking about what a great coach he is. Really....amazing you can gather all that from one press conference, especially after bashing a guy whom you said the same things after HIS first press conference.

It's quite humorous actually. Even moreso the cries of "Go root for Vandy if you don't like it". Yes...way to prove how not redneck our fanbase is.

I have seen FAR more posts stating support for Dooley vs the "what a great coach" comment you reference above. Quit trying to make something out of nothing.

I think (and hope) many fans have learned something from the poor experience with Kiffin. I didn't buy into him early and will also reserve my opinion of Dooley until I see the product. But given an unknown I still prefer to support the guy in this case rather than criticize him... I see no reason to hate on a guy that seems to promote discipline, hard work, teamwork, and at least some level of ethics.

At least Dooley, by all accounts, is a man of integrity. Deep down, everyone knew Kiffen was a bit shady, but embraced him anyways because of the big game he talked. We don't know if Dooley can coach yet (first game Oregon, ugg), but I think we can feel much better about the quality of person leading our football program.

Volnation- I'm a longtime UT fan and have been following volnation a while now. I just wanted to share my approval for the CDD hire. I have never been more impressed with a coach's answers in a press conference. He is someone we can be proud of instead of automatically defending our coach on a daily basis. Yes, Kiffin and Co. could recruit but our program deserves a coach with class. Despite the turmoil we've seen this week I think we've actually made a significant step in the right direction. Respecting the Tenn traditions will go a long way. Happy to include my thoughts....Banjo-Vol

I hope for the best but expect mediocrity... at this time he was probably the best available.

Either way I still bleed orange and there is no coach that can change that. GO VOLS!!

First of all, he is an attorney which means he most likely understands NCAA rules and regulations. He worked and learned for years under Nick Saban....who in my opinion is the best in the business right now. He has NFL experience. He was the recruiting coordinator at LSU where he landed two #1 ranked classes. He is young, seems to be energetic and tenacious...and can obviously recruit big time players. Further, he seems to really want this job and wants to be in Knoxville. He comes across as a man that will embrace UT and will represent us is a classy and tasteful fashion. I think we potentially have a very good young coach on our hands. Let's get behind him, support him, and have faith. I have a very good feeling about this guy...........

You're blurring the line because you need to define what you mean by "support". I've seen just as many, if not more posts that are already claiming we made the right hire, he's going to be a great coach, etc. It goes beyond just saying they support the coach and accept the decision. The only thing it's based on is a press conference.
