People seem to think there's no amount of losses that gets him fired after his first season, and that blows my mind.

Hey, I just blew yer mind again. Now, if a super coach came on the scene and would accept the job and we turned in 7-8 losses, I could see it.

Look at the schedule. Im sure you can figure out which games he can or cant lose. But unfortunately for you he wont lose those games he cant afford to lose.

Not many. There isn't a coach in this country that should be expected to win more than 4-6 games this year with this team considering what they have to work with, and what has happened in the offseason.

I think a 4-8, 1-7 sec season would get him fired. Only way it doesn't get him fired is that injuries caused most of the losses. I'm a little more optimistic this season than the 5-7 mark, but not thinking 10-2 either. 4-8 is really bad and something fulmer didn't do or any other coach at Tennessee.

During what time span? Are you talking about this year? there's simply NO WAY he gets fired after this year. He came into a disaster zone - 3rd coach in 3 years, numerous players have left the program, documented depth/scholarship issues, etc. I don't care if you had Saban, Meyer, Peterson and Stoops on this staff - we're not going to have a great year. It is what it is. Not to mention his buyout would be hefty.

If this year is a disaster (2 or 3 wins), plenty of people will be calling for his head - but I still say there's no way he gets canned.

IMO, in year #3, if he doesn't have us at (at least) 9-10 wins and in the SEC championship hunt, he'll be on the hot seat. IMO, if the program shows gradual improvement, he'll be given 4 years to get us back into the SEC championship mix.

So, you're saying that he should be fired if he only wins 4-6 games? Your post implies that it won't take many losses to fire Dooley, but you're contradicting yourself later by saying that no other coaches should be expected to win more than 4-6 games. That equates to 6-8 losses. You're saying that even if he only wins 4-6, he should be fired? :huh:

Look what he came into. We arent even at the scholly limit with young and inexperienced players. It blows my mind that people expect him to come in here and go undefeated and win the SEC and NC. Pure stupidity.

kind of a big gap between winning the SEC and going 4-8 with 3 absurdly easy nonconference games on the schedule no?

12

If he loses to UTM, Vandy, UAB, Memphis, and lets UK break the streak he MIGHT be fired.

Otherwise, calm down and let the man go to work for 3 or 4 years before we start making impulsive decisions...

I don't want to say as bad as our talent is because I think we have good talent in some spots but we're just young. I think the only way you can warrant firing a guy after one year, especially if you are going on 3 coaches in as many years, is if the guy loses 10 games. That would mean we're losing to teams far inferior to us. Vandy, Memphis, UAB, etc. JMO. Don't matter how young we are, we should always have more talent than teams like that.

That being said, if Dooley gets fired this year because he doesn't win 8 or 9 games as Colin Cowherd said Hamilton should go with him. We thought Kiffin leaving after a year put us in a mess. Three coaches in three years would put us further behind the 8 ball than we already are.

All that being said, we will have Dooley for at least 3 years if he doesn't work out. Might as well go with it. I personally think he will work out given the time.

That was a figure of speech. The way some of these nega-vol fans are acting you would think they expect a SEC and NC. Give the guy a little room to work here. He needs at least 2 seasons to get his own recruits in and then we can judge if he should be here or not.

no i think they are acting like 4-8 is unacceptable which to me seems like a pretty resonable argument if you look at the schedule.
