For now. The only way to calm the board down for a while is to win out, which if we miraculously beat Bama would seem much more possible (although SC is very good).
One crazy upset doesn't put us in any title race. If anything I would assume Saban tanked the game to try and keep his boy Dooley employed. Body of work over one Goliath slaying.
Sorry, man, I'm calling a spade a spade. We suck! Exactly what games have we been "competitive" in?
Don't dare say Florida, it might have been "competitive" in the first half, damn sure not the second. Next you'll say Georgia, but did you see what SC did to them? And I'm damn sure not going to believe it for MS. State.
Yep, time to get a real football coach on Rocky Top!
Just wondering will things settle down a bit in here. I mean if we pull off the biggest upset in TN history will you be ok and get back on board the vol train?
Seriously? Wow. We will not beat Bama. Bama will destroy us. As will SC. Dooley is finished here. I wish him luck. I really like the man. A truly good man. Thrown into a situation he is NOT READY TO HANDLE.
Dooley will be fired. Maybe before season's end. He will be a great coach someday. He'll go somewhere and build a great tradition. Somewhere that the expectations aren't as high, immediately.
Chillout Vol fans. You have a right to your expectations.
If TN goes 5-1 (spliting USC or ALA) the rest of the way he is a lock for another year. 7-5 with another o for october I think the fan discontent would be too much. But a loss to USCjr is not the same as it was when CPF lost to them in 08 to push the decision then. At that point USCjr was a "bad loss." This season after the USCjr game under this senerio all losses will have been to ranked teams (i.e. no "ugly" losses). So they may give him a chance to run the table in November.
