Who? Can they get Dennis Miller to take over for Gruden on MNF, him quit a millionaire pie-job and come to Knoxville? Chip Kelly? His team is going to be 3rd in the BCS tomorrow. Im sure he'll drop what he's doing.

Look, we can go back and forth all evening. All I'm saying is the HANDLING of the firing of CPF has a lot to do with the situation we're in. Please, and I will always be a Vol, get it right this time.

Do you think Dooley deserves another year?

They will get it right, have faith. We have an AD with a set of balls this time.

Oh, by the way, the dude we fired a hall of fame coach for lost @ Arizona (UNRANKED) with the loaded USC team he has today.

If you want to see a meltdown, if Hart announces Dooley will be coach next year, then you'll see a huge backlash.

Dooley is a great guy, and I wish Him the best. I do feel sorry for him, the SEC is a tuff place to learn. He just is not ready for the SEC. Get us a coach who has proven he can take less and do more! The guy has brought in Over 15 DB's since he took over and not 1 of them can cover.

Yeah, I'm sure he will stay, athletic directors are smart and know a lot more about hiring coaches than we do, the realistic choice would let DD coach next season, if he gets to the SEC championship good, if not bye.

Get to the SEC championship? I want what you're drinking. The guy hasn't ever beaten a ranked team and you think there is a chance we go to the SEC championship next year.

Set us back if we don't keep Dooley another year? How can we be set back any further than we already are? WE HAVEN'T WON A SINGLE CONFERENCE GAME!!! FIRE THE PANTS!!!

Anyone that thinks Dooley deserves another year isn't living in reality. Look at who is on the roster this year and who will probably be leaving early for the draft. Rogers, Rivera and Thomas are Sr's so they're gone. Then there's a good chance that Bray, Patterson, James and Hunter are gone. The defense is atrocious so if you lose that kind of offensive talent then UT will probably look like 2012 Auburn next year if Dooley and Sunseri are kept. They won't be able to stop anyone and their offense will not be able to keep up. Not to mention they have to go to Fla, Bama and Oregon and it doesn't look good.

Derek Dooley will and should be our coach at least one more year. I've made no bones about it on here that I thought firing CPF in mid-season was a mistake. Let's not make another mistake. Play the rest of the year out, we will win all of them, play a decent ACC team in the MCB, and get a win. Does any big time coach want to come in here next year and go on the road to Ala, Fla, and Oregon in their first year. I think it would set us back further to make the move now. One more year.

Ignorance at best.

The longer UT waits to clean the wound, the longer it festers.

Fire Dooley. Hire a qualified replacement(whomever that may be.) Impact recruiting in a positive manner. FIX UT FOOTBALL.

He has had his time. It is long since passed...

Im finally on the "time to change" wagon. He just isnt going to get it done.

I dont feel strongly about it but im pretty much done making excuses for Dooley. He is the most unlucky man to ever crap between two shoes. It just isnt meant to be.

I think you are right. We need to buy out Sal and get a good defensive coordinator (proven) and pay him big money to develop a solid defense. I think with a solid defense this year we only have 1 or 2 losses.

I agree Dooley will be the HC next year.

Sal will not be the DC next year.

Trash the 3-4 d and go back to a traditional but effective defense.

Dooley is gone next year ..I expect an announcement with 48 hours.

I agree on your defensive philosophy

One last thing....

Dooley has always made it a point to say "we will be a fun team to watch".

Im not having fun, are any of you?

No way we win ALL of our remaining games with NO defense. Mizzou and Vandy are capable of turning it into a shoot out. I wish it were not true ..but I watched the Akron game.

Dooley is gone . This will all play out very soon

Troy is more liable to be a shoot out than Mizzou or Candy. Mizzou and Candy aren't that great offensive teams. Their strength is their D.

At some point and time as a fan you have to stop making excuses for Dooley and start holding him accountable. His record against ranked opponents is not going away and each year we play a lot of ranked opponents. While I will give him credit for taking the job amist a challenging time it is crystal clear he can't get the job done that we need to get done.

If Tennessee is serious about getting back to where it deserves to be, among the big boys of the SEC, then Dooley should have been fired after the debacle at MSU. But this being Tennessee, I won't be surprised if they do give this loser 1 more year.

Gruden or no Gruden, Dooley should be FIRED.

I think the 3-4 is the defense of the future. We just need an experienced DC and talented players to run it.
