Coaching announcement expected today -- UT confirms, press conference at 2:30

The man hasen't coached a game yet and ya'll are already selling out on him, geezzz.
Give the man a chance for God's sake. Is he who i wanted, not really but dang people. Lets get behind him and his staff, besides if we can support Dooley then we can definately support Jones. At least he has a winning record. One final thought, let's not blame him, blame Hamilton for this mess.

Good point Thorny. I think the AD is the problem, but I think Tennessee rushed their decision. We would have been better off keeping Dooley. Now we're paying two coaches instead of one. Jones may prove me wrong, but there were better options out there.

I disagree. Hamilton doesn't have anything to do with this hire. Dooley, yes. but not this one. Hart has had since last year's Kentucky game to work on this.

this one is on Hart and Cheek.

Ok, maybe I should have clarified. I meant hamilton for the entire mess from Firing Fulmer, Hiring Kiffen and then Hiring Dooley, I guess you could put Pearl in there too but i liked him, anyways, I was one of those that wanted Fulmer out too but now it looks like a really bad decision with everything we know now. I dont think Coach Jones was such a bad hire, could have been worse. ala smart, golden.......:hi:

I agree that there were better coaches out there but we got what we got. Beside I'm not so sure it was bad hire to begin with. I guess we'll see in a couple of years. Might as well enjoy the ride.
