What the hell does that mean?

We're not the most historically overrated team in college football?

15th in total offense, Notre Dame is 61.

Multimillion dollar brand new facilities being built.

We have weapons all over our team. Our coaching staff is just to derpy to utilize all of them.

It means that Tennessee does not have the automatic name recognition and perception within college football that Notre Dame does. That's why Notre Dame can be an irrelevant program for years and hire coaches that are thought to be (key phrase: "thought to be") marquee names like Weis and Kelly. If Kelly was presented with coaching ND or Tennessee after his final year at Cincy, which one does he choose?

I notice how you conveniently compared Tennessee and ND on the offensive side of the football. How about the defensive side? Hmm...ND 1st in points against. Tennessee? 113th.

Tennessee does not have weapons "all over" the team. They have weapons at QB and WR. That's it. There are gaping holes almost everywhere else.

It wasn't convenience. It was the fact that the game of football is always shifting towards more and more offense.

Rivera at TE.

One of the best O lines in college football.

Two young, talented linebackers that are getting better every year.

Of course it was convenience. You're looking at one half of the game. Have they stopped playing defense? Look at the teams in the top 10 of the BCS. How many of them have average or worse than average defenses? I think Oregon's the only one.

I'll give you Rivera, but he's basically another receiver. I'll give you that Tennessee has great weapons in the passing game. After that, it's a cliff drop.

You have an O-Line that can only pass block, inconsistent running backs, and a defense with only 1 or 2 consistent contributors. As good as A.J. Johnson and Maggitt are, isn't the secondary about 5x worse and completely nullify, and then some, any good work they do?

Even as physically talented and hyped Johnson and Maggitt are, they somewhat consistently lose containment and take bad angles to ballcarriers.

Seems like someone just f'king around.

There's been chatter that there might have been a breach of contract. That's the only way I could see a negotiation of the buyout. If not, I'm not sure what kind of leverage the AD would have to negotiate.

What would Dooley have done to breach the contract?

You do realize that ND has made 4 coaching hires in the past 15 years, and the "homerun hire" was pulling Cincinnati's coach?

I'm not exactly sure but if I remember correctly, I read something about contact with another school a few weeks back. Maybe someone else could chime in on that.

Maybe helping get him a coaching gig sooner than later if he takes a reduced buyout. With his track record at his current and last school I find it hard to believe he will find a decent job easily as a head coach.

Who knows if any of this is real. We all know in our gut he is gone next year and there is nothing left this season besides pride.

There's not going to be any negotiating on the buyout. Dooley is owed the entire $5 million. Fulmer got paid, no change here.

They were all supposed to be "home run hires." Looks like only the latest one has worked out though.

Bob Davie was a homerun hire? Tyrone Willingham? Charlie Weiss got hired b/c a half dozen other guys turned them down. And any job other than Cincy was a "dream job" for Kelly. He would of said the same thing as his opening press conference had he been hired here.

So if Dooley breached terms of the contract we should still pay the full $5 mil?

interesting.

Fulmer got $6 mil for 16 seasons as HC

Dooley will get $5 mil for 3. that seems fair/right?

it has nothing to do with him having contact with another school...thats a load of bs....while DD is not the right person moving forward for the HC role, his work has not gone unnoticed. His work off the field, is much more valuable to the current AD than his work on the field....his inexperience coaching, has made it clear he is not the right person to continue as the HC....that being said, his experience as a former AD is something that is appealing to many and has them trying to keep him involved...
