Dooley has been fired (unconfirmed)

[Jake]

Hubbs' recent timeline makes the most sense to me.

I remember a few years ago when fans put a certain coach up on a pedestal. People that keep saying how "when" Gruden and his super bowl ring gets here he will have all these 5* players lined up to come here and how we will be competing in a year just might be in for another major let down.

Lol at beleiving anything said in the gruden thread.

Well, the only reason that I posted it and somewhat believed it is because it was mentioned by a poster, who has been bringing pretty good info to the board. TIFWIW. I can believe it. If I were the players, I wouldn't want to play for DD either with the bone-headed decisions that he makes. The best thing for this team is to fire Dooley today or tomorrow, and I would love to see Jay Graham be the interim. I guarantee you that these players would play hard for him over the last 2 (or hopefully 3) games.

He coached a disfunctional Oakland team, who had an owner by the name of Al Davis. It would be difficult for anyone to win, under those conditions.

Wow, this statement seems so familiar somehow.....

 

[volspeyton]

Gruden is not coming so can we bury That rumor once and for all.

 

[iluvsmesumdooley]

This has absolutely zero merit! If a coach is over .500 in the NFL, then that aint bad! The NFL is a QB driven league. The few coaches that have the exceptional win loss records had/have an elite QB: Manning, Brady, Montanna, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Aikmen, etc etc etc. Gruden never had a QB of that caliber....not in Oakland or Tampa.

Bellichek's is around 62 percent...and it's the best. Too much parity in the NFL to win over 70 percent of your games. Gruden was a great coach.

He has

Charlie Strong,
James Franklin,
Dan Mullen,
Gus Malzahn,
on his list, all of whom would = fail imo.

 

[titansfan2104]

So when Chaney goes 0-2, is he fired?

No, be because he will surely cure our defensive woes. He will intimidate teams physically and metaphysically.

 

[VolinDawgland]

I was tracking along with Clay until I saw James Franklin at 4 on his list. Was that a joke Clay?

 

[WesternKyVol]

My sources tell me that Alabama lost to Texas A&M tonight. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THIS?????

Don't be crazy. Bama could beat several NFL teams.

That's what I'm saying....unless we hit a home run with this hire, we are bound for mediocrity for awhile at best..IMO

 

[OJ]

I think Clay was touching himself privately the whole time while writing this article

 

[turn3]

Sorry if I go a little of subject. I know Vol calls is Wednesday night but is there a Sunday call in show?

 

[knoxtnguy]

I see him complaining about poor play calling and ****tty coaching .

show me the vids and not the one where he throws his hands in the air because Bray overthrew the pass. ill be waiting.

 

[Cartervol]

Franklin would be a huge upgrade over what we currently have.. He'd be one of 4th or 5th choice guys though.. If they got all the way down too having to offer him then fire Dave Hart...

When I look at that list, I see one guy who might get the Vols back to conference championship contention in a couple of years, a couple of guys who could take it a step or two past what Dooley is capable of but probably not get us where we want to go, and one complete wild card.

 

[VolFootballlover]

I been saying for 2 season's Franklin could out coach Dooley with a blind fold on!

 

[Dr H Lecter]

Hard to find a worse coach than Dooley!

 

[BeecherVol]

Not sure we really need to speculate about him being fired anymore.

 

[VolsRule]

Hire Sumlin from Texas A&M--pay him whatever he wants--he can win big at UT.

 

[Volzilla]

Hard to find a worse coach than Dooley!

Try KY

 

[1967vol]

Who watched the Ole Miss-Vandy game? See how Franklin is a player's coach. He was on the sidelines actually coaching those kids one-on-one. And they won that game at the last minute. Franklin is a very good coach. I don't care what anyone on VN says. However, I doubt he would leave Vandy for UT.

 

[Cyclopskiller]

Try KY

Yeah but.. He gone

 

[Jonboy]

@wesrucker247: Not a question of "if," but "when" on Dooley. Don't think they'll announce anything until after a Vandy loss or after UK game, win or lose.

Guys gruden's record in the NFL was barely over .500. Is there any reason anyone thinks he would be a good head coach in CFB? 93-85, or something close to those numbers. Barely over .500

Tom Coughlin's record is .558. I guess he's a bad coach as well? Giants should get rid of him.
