You can't predict a bowl win without an opponent. There were lots of bowl win predictions this time last year as well....

I think we kill vandy, im much more worried about mizzou. Franklin has a game and a half under his belt since coming back from injury. this will be the first time all year they're back to full strength.

Kill Vandy. Skeeter, I appreciate the info you give us from inside the AD, but Vanderbilt is a much better coached team, overall.

We may end up winning (I don't think we will), but kill them? No way in hell.

My #1 priority as Dallas new coach would be to find me a qb, romo is awful imo. Hes ok as long as a defender doesnt get within 5 feet of him.

Wrong. Romo is the only reason the Cowboys have any wins. Could you imagine trying to pick apart a NFL defense when your receivers have no idea how to read coverages? Romo is a stud.

Dooley's buyout doesn't go down significantly any time soon. May as well fire him now than lose ticket sales, concessions, donations, etc. next year.

To hire another unproven coach he will demand an even higher buyout with the current situation. Things need fixed at the top, then we can make legitimate runs at proven coaches.

lol yeah that would suck and Smart would probably be the new hc. If that happens, we're stuck with him for a long time(if he ends up not being any good) unless he chooses to leave on his own.

Just dont see that happening. Cannot bring in another Saban disciple/alabama connection with this fanbase. Bring in smart, we lose to Oregon and Florida to start the year and no mattress in knoxville will be safe. Hart and Smart just might be strapped to a couple of them.

This talk of keeping Dooley is depressing. I'd rather go with another unproven coach and give it a shot than with a coach that proved he doesn't belong in this business... Bring on Smart!

Last few pages are pretty depressing. We should be better than this. Dooley is not the answer but it scares me to think that he will likely be kept because no one else wants this job. I really do not believe Dooley is a championship level coach, and that should be the expectation at Tennessee. Hopefully someting crazy will happen and it all will get better, but I'm not really optimistic.

If everyone can send a letter similar to this maybe something will happen sooner than later.

My letter.

To whom it may concern,

I am a lifelong University of Tennessee fan, an avid donor and an alum from the class of 2007. I grew up in East Tennessee and have been attending games at Neyland since I was able to walk. The past five years I have watched the Athletic Department and the University slowly deteriorate. I have still supported the program and done everything in my power to back the coaching staffs, players and admin. But now comes the time where changes need to be made for my support to continue. These changes need to be made for the betterment of the Athletic Department.

Friday you will be voting on the structure of the Athletic Department financially within the University. The specific amendment you will be voting on is below.

Amendment of the UT-UTFI affiliation and services agreement to change the reporting line for athletics departments personnel at UT Knoxville

As the head of the board I hope you realize that the Athletic Department should be a free standing entity within the University with the power to allocate the funds they bring in accordingly. The current structure has led to nothing but negative results for the AD and the University. This needs to be changed.

After this change is made I hope the powers that be of the University know that we need to bring in a major coaching improvement that can build back our football health. A healthy football program means a healthy University of Tennessee. If we invest in our program we will see that investment pay off. If we make a lackluster effort and investment into our football program we will get a lackluster program and lackluster results financially and on the field.

Go Vols,

Eric

Vol202020 relay to vonn that it will take a player of his caliber and heart to change Tennessee football around again. We would love to have him here. Best player at his position which happens to be the position we need the most. Let's worry about Dooley later and worry more about the players in this class.

Think about this and at the beginning of the season no one would think it would be possible. If we win out and Oregon beats USC again, could you imagine the hype around that match up?

Are you saying we could play USC in a bowl?
If so, what bowl would that be? I thought there were no SEC/Pac-12 matchups. Or, do you think USC would take an unfilled Big Ten spot over a Pac-12 tie-in?

Right now the big10 only has 4 teams bowl eligible. They would have to fill those spots from somewhere.

Our brilliant fans are sick of losing. How else can they vent about the garbage they see.

And our AD is not doing his job. If he had a clue, he would have fired Dooley already.

What he is saying is our fans are basically self mutilating. They are angry things aren't going how they want so they do things that harm themselves and the team they claim to love. So you don't like your car you don't go drive it off a cliff with you in it especially if you don't have a replacement and have to get to work.
