UT coach actively tries to help Bama win a championship

[SpaceCoastVol]

Not if his contract isn't written that way. Calm down and let the man finish his commitment to the PLAYERS. I know they're Bama players but they deserve respect.

But we don't I guess.

Hey kid, don’t go to Alabama, come to Tennessee. Oh, and check out this cool Alabama championship ring.

So, you prefer:

Hey Kid, my name is Greg Schiano. I hope you don't know how to use Google

I’m just happy we didn’t hire Miles..

I’m just happy we didn’t hire Miles..

Taking a long term view of the program, I agree 100%

Threads like this is why VN is the laughing stock of the NCAA.

Ice is cold, fire is hot, now stfu.

Couldnt get past the first page. Id rather see my sister in a whore house than my brother pulling for bama. Ughhhhh.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

So someone clarify for me, because I'm not wading through all of these posts. This was sarcasm, right?

 

[rocketskates]

Hate Bama with a passion but I actually respect him more for finishing what he started with the kids he's been coaching.

Summary:

We don't want a proven winner and someone associated with a great program, coach and national titles simply because that association is with Bama.

TLDR we never should have fired Dooley

He has prior commitments to them. We are the new comers. Kirby did the same thing and Kirby went to his Alma mater. Step back from the ledge. Him coaching will be great publicity for us.

He may be, but he absolutely should not be allowed to coach their playoff game(s). He needs to be recruiting for his current job.

You’re in for a rude awakening when you enter the working world.

Dead period from Dec18-Jan11 so him Coaching the playoffs is fine

Seems like Dooley and Lyle did the same thing.

It's like so many of you don't understand the concepts of adults with careers.

Indeed. 2 weeks is common practice in most professions.

Coaching often sees immediate withdrawal.


he is the head coach at Ut. ACT like it.

It’s not just about recruiting. He also needs to be building his staff.

He was walking into a loaded roster, and more importantly wasn’t faced with an early signing period. Completely different situation

I've been in the working world for decades, boss. Football is a lot like business, but this is where millions of dollars usurp the two week notice.

 

[VolsLady-in-FL]

And next year Alabama fans will be moaning about a former Bama coach coaching against them and (hopefully) putting up a fight. Oh the irony. 🤣

 

[Chilmonty]

I have no problem with this at all!

Completing job hired to do, rather than leaving when needed the most!

Honorable!! :salute:

You realize dead period is dec18-jan11 right?

 

[vol445]

We are buying him out if his commitment. His commitment is now to Tennessee

Those eyes kill me true but admire someone wanting to finish their commitment I think he does both recruit for us coaches for them

 

[OrangeLife]

Absolutely disgusting.

Why anyone would be ok with this is absurd.

Tennessee expectations have fallen so low.

How did it work out for Alabama when they tried to hire within their die-hard alums? I get it and agree we need some folks in the program who bleed orange and truly love Tennessee..but to continue to throw Tee out there and think he would have been so much better of an option shows the ignorance that ESPN and the media uses against us so often.

Support the new coach and Go Vols!

Wouldn't a playoff, and another ring as a coach be a good sell to recruits?

No, no and NO!

18 years olds the world over know the long history of the Tenn/Bama rivalry. They would rather play for a loser that hates Bama than a winner at a great program that Tennessee fans would kill for to have the same level of success.
