I think Dooley deserves a new nickname " Scrappy" he is good at recruiting players that Florida, Bama and GA say no thanks to and doesn't even offer. In other words he recruits the scraps that our conference leaders pass on.

I have enjoyed reading many of the posts concerning DD, our program and the pending coaching change. I, honestly, believe we all want the very best and enjoy the excitement of a competitive program.

I have a family member within the AD. I assure you it has been a difficult year surrounding the football program. The disgust with current coach began LONG before the MSU loss. It is much deeper than the win/loss column. At the same time, it has been very quiet regarding a pending change in coach.

I do believe a change is imminent but not guaranteed. AD's typically use search firms to garner interest in potential candidates which prohibits public comment prior to official openings.

Hart has IMMENSE contacts. He will make the right move.
Enjoy the game today.

because he keeps hanging on and on and on and no announcement is ever made.... If Hart will make a move, most of the bashing will stop

I give up on trying to restore some common human decency to these proceedings. Carry on with your hatred.

I don't hate Dooley I'm just ready for a change. I supported the guy as hard as anyone and I just couldn't do it anymore. At Tennessee, you can't go three years and not beat an ranked team and expect to keep your jobs. Not to mention two years in a row of an 0-5 start in the SEC. Let people hate dude, its a message board, don't let it affect you.

No they do not. Just because they are not all playing yet does not mean they suck. And Jesus wouldn't be able to recruit this year with all the negativity goin on. That is why I wish they would hurry up and get it over with. Get a big name in here to save this class. The longer it goes the less chance of saving it. Which will just cause another huge hole in the depth chart like the 07-09 classes.

There is negativity because Dooley is losing games...If we were winning that wouldn't be the case..Dooley brought it on himself.

Why not just thank the guy for what good he has done, and then send him on his way without trying to destroy his character? I agree he is not the guy, but I disagree with all the poo-flinging hatred of the man.

The man is gonna get a 5 mil buy out for being a lousy coach...Nobody around here owes him any thanks.

Sure I agree as nearly all on here do. My annoyance is how many times the same posters feel the need to say the same things over and over.

I understand... not into bashing Dooley anymore myself Bruin...

He is a beaten man... but the only one who can truly end it is Hart... hope he decides soon and stops this misery.... that is my point


Don't like kicking anyone when they are down

Freedom of speech Bruin, you can always place me on ignore if it offends you so much. As far as Gruden is done, anything is possible but at this moment I have not been told anything to change my view.

Good little nugget to start the thread.

LWS on TOS said he believes big money is on the table for the next coach...if they can get the right big name coach to come for that money. IE they won't just throw big money at anyone. He thinks they will aim for someone much higher than an assistant coach (Smart).

He said he never thought in the past TN would do this, but it finally seems everyone is on board with this. He said he expects a new football coach in 2013 and we are ready to pay to get a big time coach.

I doubt it, but if true, I agree go big or stick with Dooley. No sense getting a Dooley II.

I agree that he will be paid very nicely... however when we hired him that is what we agreed to.. we owe him that.

I also agree we owe him the respect of a former coach and his willingnesss to take a tough job from of all people Hamilton. His NOT a good coach, but a good man.

He remnds me of Bill Battle in many ways, a loosing coach from Alabama connection..... I said this is what he would be when everyone was singing his praise. I DO NOT WANT HIM TO COACH OUR TEAM.. but he did bring back stability and place in a position where a new coach can build and win

Many of those same posters are the ones claiming that this hart wanting to keep dd thinking is all apart of an elaborate smoke screen to keep the wire taps away from grudens phone. There should be no worry about hart because its all apart of this plan set in work long ago.
