Who fires a coach for losing a game? It is really just the occasion to do it. At any rate, I think we can safely say the 3-4 experiment has been a failure.

Win the next 2 games? If we do there is obviously the chance that we end up stuck with Dooley for another year. At very least winning out means we may keep Dooley throughout the bowl season, potentially losing out on available coaches and recruits. I think the best route would've been to let Dooley go now and name an interim coach. Maybe the team rallies and we win out all the while attempting to hire the best available coach as quickly as possible. All that being said I can't possibly root for us to lose against candy or ky. Just a lose/lose. What say u?

It matters not. We will not beat candy anyway. Dooley is too incompetent.

The only time you should root for your team to lose is if you are Colts fan and you can get Luck in the draft. I am not a Colts fan. GBO, beat Vandy and Kentucky

ps: gth Indy

If we lose to Vandy, they will fight for a lot of our recruits (given our low standards as of now) and this will inhibit the program the next few years.

Doesnt matter if Gruden publicly announces he will join the vols if we lose to vandy or UK, I will still root for the vols to win.

Only a loser would want the team to lose; especially to these two teams. DD is done no matter what. Finish strong win the bowl game and get ready for better days ahead. Go Vols.

I would Like To see Dooley win The last 2 games, name a new head Coach and let The new Coach build his Staff while Dooley coaches the Bowl game.

Can you people not see that we have a better chance of winning out with an interem coach? Dooley is a cancer, there's a reason he's being fired..he puts this team in position to lose!!!!

Will never pull for us to lose, especially against these SEC clowns. Besides, I don't think I have to - there have been far too many signs in the past 2 months that Dooley is done. Why not hope for W's when he is on his way out anyway?

It is never good to lose. I never pull for the Vols to lose. If UT is 6-6 and the powers that be believe they can get the right guy then Dooley is gone. If they don't feel they can upgrade then it gets more complicated.

And before ignorant posters jump on this post and say "It can't get any worse"... it can. Hiring an equally bad coach would be "worse" because you'd have another 3 years in purgatory while he got his chance. Hiring a somewhat better coach is also worse. You only change if you KNOW you have a guy who can raise the program. Otherwise, suffer another year and try to find that guy next fall.

This isn't the gratification most here want... especially those who are personally offended that Dooley coach poorly and so find it necessary to attack him in hateful ways rather than just dealing objectively with his failures as a coach. But the truth is that the wrong move can have longer, more damaging consequences than keeping Dooley while looking for the right guy.


This is the nature of the coaching carousel. Notre Dame took a spin. Davie, Willingham, and Weis all looked like great hires... Willingham and Weis were considered definite upgrades. They hired and fired 3 guys after Holtz... and while he's having a good year this year... Kelly isn't out of the woods there yet. USC went through an extended period of frustration before Carroll arrived. Texas had a long drought. Nebraska had a long drought. Miami has been down for years while trying different coaches.

No matter how optimistic you are that one guy or another is the answer... there's NO guarantee that he is. Dooley needs to be fired. He has not proven he can coach on gameday well enough to compete in the SEC much less win championships. But UT needs to hire the right guy or the process just repeats itself...

If there's a chance Dooley stays given his current record, we need to run some other people out of town....... no excuse

I don't think it matters towards keeping Dooley. I think his fate is sealed. That being said, I could never want us to lose any game.

This. It doesn't matter what happens with the coaching staff after the season. What matters is that our players go out on top and the school is able to regain some sense of dignity in the process.














































































plus a bowl game would give us a bit more cash for the buy-outs!:hi:

Yes, I cannot stand the thought of losing to UK again and losing to Vandy always sucks. If you root for us to lose, then you are not a true Vol.

I seriously doubt the outcome of the last 2 games has any bearing on Dooley's fate.

What does have bearing is if we can get an upgrade. If we can't, we can lose the next games and he's still back.

Win, always win, at this critical juncture in UT Football we had better take a win anyway we can. I feel sorry for the players as they know the history and can't help but question their ability. These kids feel bad about not succeding and let's face it, no one wants to be labeled as a loser. We've been down for 8-9 years now and barring some miracle will struggle through the next few years. It appears when a program of UT's stature falls out of favor that things begin to snowball and recruiting stahls. I've finally come to the conclusion that I will just have to accept the fact that things are not going to change much in the near future barring some sort of miracle.
But as always GO VOLS
