the added drama of quitting, firing, not going to give money anymore, blah, blah, is a necessity on VN.

Losing a game because the other team made plays while we made mistakes isn't possible anymore.

What in 2 seasons, and 3 games into this season, makes you believe that this will some how change in the near future?? Knoxville and Neyland was the most electric I have ever felt it, since starting to come to games in 2002, and this performance is going to keep that from happening again this year, and probably the rest of Dooley's career he as well. Everyone was supporting Dooley and Co. to get it done, even myself, but after this game, we have enough data to understand that we don't have what we need to win in Knoxville. When Majors took over, we sucked for a while, but the difference between Dooley and Majors, Majors had a NC under his belt, and was an legend here, so he had much more leeway to work, and for good reason.

New coaching staff is on Dooley. They all bailed on him for a reason. We're finding out why now....

and most of the original staff were not his hires and the ones he did hire were the best he could do at the time. I'm sure some of it is on DD but he was handicapped by some stupid contracts from the start. The one drastic change that needed to be made was Chaney and that didn't happen. We will never win with a lot of success in the SEC with him as OC. He just doesn't understand what it takes to win in the SEC.

Chaney and Thompson were only leftovers, try again.

I am talking about last nights game, not the past 2 seasons. We didn't lose games last year because we didn't make 3 or 4 plays.
We lost last nights game because we didn't make a few plays and they did. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I will wait and see how the year plays out, and the future will take care of itself. What good does it do to worry about it if you already know the future? You already know he sucks. He already lost your support. He isn't going to be fired after losing that game.

I read this post on another board and cannot really argue with any of it:

“After last night's game, my optimism for Dooley's continued tenure at Tennessee is at an all time low. While many of the mental errors were made by the players (and not the coaches), there were several major problems that reflect problems at the top:

1. Florida's opening drive in the 2nd half - Florida made adjustments and schemed at the half to put a series of plays together and drive the ball straight down the field. This drive set the tone for the second half and was 100% pre scripted plays developed during halftime that UT had no response to.

2. Pressure on Bray in the second half - Bray was getting killed the entire second half. Everyone knows Florida has a very talented D-line, but UT managed to contain the rush for most of the 1st half. The second half was a different story. When that happens it is scheming, and that falls on the coaches.

3. UT calling pass plays too soon - once the game was tied, we panicked. We abandoned what had been a decent enough run game and relied almost exclusively on Bray flinging the ball around. The play calling is coaching, not players. It is hard for me to imagine Cutcliff deciding to throw the towel in on the rush game just because the game is tied.

I know the Dooley supporters will say that it was on the players who are too old to tuck their tail between their legs in situations like this. However, it seems to me that the coaches have a fair amount of egg on their face too. From UT's performance last night there is plenty of blame to throw around. I just hope they learn from it and give us all a pleasant surprise in Athens. “

Last night was Dooley program building game, and he probably tore down a lot more than he built up last night.

Was it Dooleys fault Bray couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight? Was it Dooleys fault Hunter and CP dropped passes? Was it Dooleys fault the D was gased cause our offense couldnt convert in the 2nd half? Our boys were off tonight and too many of you are just too F***in stupid to just support our guys and move on! The players did not execute and we lost!!

Theres a long way to go. Learn from it and move on. It pains me that so many Vol fans are F***in retards!

Flame away!!!!

It exhibits loads of maturity to use the term "retard." Nicely done, dip****.

Secondly, if you are too stupid to see how badly Dooley got outcoached last night then God help you.

Yes, the receivers dropped passes. Yes, Bray slumped his shoulders and started crapping out. Yes, the D lacks depth. Did you also notice that they ran the same ****ing plays over and over and we never adjusted? Did you see us abandon the run even Bray was throwing to Dooley instead of the receivers, not to mention showing with his body language that he was done.

We managed to make the ****tiest FL team in 10 years look like a BCS title team. They nearly beat us but 23 at home. If you are so stupid that you can't see the coaching issues there... enough said.

So its the players fault that Dooley is 0-12 vs ranked teams? Coaching and making key adjustments has not been the problem? Wow

Chaney hardly even tried to give the ball to UTs biggest playmaker all game. I can't think of one time UT gave the ball to Patterson in open space and let him work. This pass first spread will not work in the SEC, it never will.

Im starting to come to the conclusion that Dooley can only beat teams he out talents, but the problem is, you can't out talent any of the top schools in the SEC.

He has all year to prove himself to the fanbase, but their is really no excuse for this loss. UT allowed a very young offense, including a 19 year old quarterback, to have over 500 yards of total offense.

Driskell looked wide eyed and scared. By the end of the night our defense made him look like a Heisman frontrunner.

These guys have quit in so many 2nd halves under Dooley it's ridiculous...Oregon, Bama10, Arkansas, LSU, Bama11, and now Florida...that's just off top of my head...

all 3-5td beatdowns for a half of football...when the going gets tough...we simply say, "F it...I'm done competing"

No, it's sad that we have a coach who continues to get his ass whipped by ranked opponents.

No no no no no. Stop right there. We are NOT in a poor talent state AT ALL. We have awesome talent on our team. I still think that on paper we are even with Florida. For the first time in a long time, we are every bit as talented as they are. There are plenty of coaches who would love to take over our current roster. And I bet most of them would have beat Florida with this roster, too. I'll give you Driskel though, he played quite well tonight. He impressed me. But still, it isn't as simple as you make it seem.

I just don't know how much longer people are going to keep making excuses for Dooley. At some point, you have to WIN.

I've been a Dooley defender up until now, but I'd say at this moment I am impartial. He is 0-7 versus our rivals. How do we control a game for nearly 3 quarters and then suddenly we don't look like we belong on the same field? Teague is a 3rd year starter, how does he blow an easy assignment? All the penalties. Dropped passes. This team has no discipline.

If he doesn't beat UGA, and it's not likely he beats Bama, Dooley is going to be 0-9 against our rivals. You gotta at least be able to steal a win from UGA occasionally, even if you are a little undermanned a few of those seasons. He hasn't really shown us anything other than that he can recruit.

Not goin' to read the whole thread so maybe this has been pointed out, but it is Dooley's fault we have no run game. It's Dooley's fault that he kept Chaney when that offense will never work in the SEC. Pass first oriented offenses do not get the job done against SEC defenses. If You can't run, you can't keep their D on the field and tire them out. The gators running is what gassed our D.

And to use your own words, if you can't see that then you're just to f***in stupid to understand SEC football.
I like Dooley, think he's a quality guy, but he's not getting it done. He should have tabbed a new OC in the offseason that understands SEC football. You would think growing up in it, he'd know how SEC football works. After all, he witnessed Walker at UGA firsthand. And tonight's loss doesn't help us with recruits. How do you sell a program that really hasn't shown improvement since his arrival? We've still got the rest of the season to play and maybe, just maybe, things will get better, but you can't sell failure to bluechip recruits.

Remember that we lost to Wyoming when all this mess started back in 2008.

We are much improved over where we were in 2010. We actually ran the ball some yesterday against a really strong front 7. Other than 4 plays or so yesterday (missed tackles and miscommunication in secondary), our defense is much better . We have a whole new scheme but are still thin on D-line.

We have a chance against GA and USCjr and should beat M State.

Don't flush this season and Dooley just yet.

I really thought for a while that we were going to kick the
$hit out of Florida.

I guess the silver lining is that USC got beat AND unlike us, by a team ranked lower than them.
