If we hire this guy, one of you is going to have to show me how to load a gun so I can shoot myself with it.....

Do you remember when Dooley kicked Butch Jones' ass?? Seriously, I'd rather bring Fulmer back.

You're really going to base your opinion of the guy off of one game?

There would be worse hires than Butch Jones. There would be many hires better than him.

Basing that off of 3 years of watching Dooley. Anyone that looses to him, not welcome here at all.

Well, they almost beat that juggernaut Louisville on the road, and a lot of people are all giddy about Strong, so why not?

I think we should go after Petrino. He's knows he's got one more shot--at the college level, anyway--and think he's burned in his bridges with the pros. I can't imagine that he'd be stupid enough to blow his last chance. That's why I'd go after him if Gruden doesn't work out. If Dooley was a 3 on a 1-10 scale when we hired him--and the 3 is because of his smarts and up-front personality, then what would Butch Jones be? Maybe a 4.5. We need somebody who's 7.5 to 9.

I know the skeptics will say he hasn't been a head coach in a major conference, but neither was Brian Kelly when he was at Cincinatti. I encourage you guys to look him up on youtube and watch how he coaches and most importantly, how much respect his players have for him. This guy can coach up players and he is very involved in every element of the practices. I know people are scared to hire someone from a smaller conference because of how Dooley worked out, but keep this in mind. Dooley didn't win enough games at Louisianna Tech to earn the UT job. Butch Jones has, and in short order too! Bottom line, this guy can coach!

First off, Tennessee beating Cincy was not a fair comparison. Tennessee had WAY more talent than Cincy and you need to look at his overall body of work. He has gone 7-3 which is pretty good considering their talent level. Can't look at just one game. I doubt any of you that said he would be Dooley-esk never watched the video I posted. Watch that and then go back and watch how Dooley coached practice. Night and Day!
