Yea but thats the problem, after allowing several teams to break school records against our defense Dooley still allowed Sal to run the defense without making any changes.

I've been saying that for a long time. Sal has been the problem all season. Hasn't the D given up a record number of yards combined this season?

SAL didnt make the decision to play for OT with the worst redzone defense in the country......you dont take the ball out of the hands of the one bright spot on the team and then expect a defense with a 98% redzone fail rate to stop a team that gets the ball on the 25.....he cant coach. he has to go

Dooley is obviously in way over his head. Shouldn't be too hard to find an upgrade over complete incompetency.

Sure, I wished Coach Dooley would have worked out for the fans, the team and the university. With so many trying to hang in there over the past 5-6 years, who wouldn't. But it seems it is time to move on and hopefully the next hire will be the right one.

GO VOLS!

At a certain point, if its not working, its not going to work, ever. Einstein once said "The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

With A&M making good headway in year one in the SEC, and recruiting getting more and more competitive nationwide, we need to get someone in here that will win. Plain and simple. I wish Dooley the best, but dont let the door hit you on the way out.

Dooley staying and Sal going?

I'm assuming the number is few, but (as stated in a thread earlier) you're hearing more and more people talking today like maybe it's not all on Dooley.

Personally, I think the best thing would be for both to go IF there's a proven better replacement for Dooley. Sal needs to go no matter what. Players aren't responding to him. I don't know if its because he has no depth so he can't threaten to bench them or what, but this is all bad.

On the other hand, Dooley, Cheney, and the offense have all been together for 3 years and our offense is something we can honestly be proud of. IMO If we can't find someone who is proven, who we know for a fact would be better than Dooley, then Dooley needs to stay and we need to keep building on the offense. Sal needs to go no matter what and the defense needs a complete makeover.

NO You did watch the Missouri game right. How can you want Dooley to stay when you have a good offense and we are at the 40 yard line with 2 timeouts and we do not go for it. Why not try to win it then that way our defense does not get back on the field. Come on man it is time for Dooley to hit the road.

The fact that Hart told CDD that he "had not made a decision" is all I really need at this point. I promise you if Hart was going to retain him for next season he wouldn't have said this. I agree with what's been stated on here numerous times...the decision was made after the MSU game and Hart's getting his ducks in a row before making any thing official. "Not a matter of if, but when".

Yeah, what DV said...GO VOLS!

Last year, we played the "blame the assistants" game in the hope that our 1-7 SEC record would see drastic improvement.

This year, with new assistants in place, we're on the verge of finishing with the exact same record.

This is the time for Hart to do what should've been done after the Kentucky game last year. Dooley is the one factor ensuring the equation will end up a failure regardless of the assistants we turnover.

On the inside I have been like."f'it lose so we can fire this bum"....but on the outside I am like, "win boys come on you can do it"....but then on the inside I am like, "wait a second...Dooley is our coach we will find a way to lose"...then suddenly I am like, "damn we just lost...should I be surprised?"

So now I am like, "this weekend we are going to be facing a Vandy team with less talent than us...but a much better coach"...on the inside....then on the outside I am all, "kill Vandy kill Vandy"....but now on the inside I am like, "Dooley gets outcoached yet again Saturday...just like every other game".

So now I know we are going to be having this same conversation next Saturday. Can we even celebrate beating Vandy...even if we do beat them? Do we celebrate beating Kentucky....even if we beat them? Seven....7....SEC losses in a row. We beat Vandy and Kentucky and then what...a bowl game? That is great and all....but why do I...as well as the Vol fans I have spoken to since Saturday night feel so defeated right now?

Because we have a proven loser that is going to be sinking the ship this Saturday....and possibly next season. There are some people happy about that though....everyone on our schedule.

Why in the World would you say Vandy has less talent than us? They have 4 SEC wins we have 0
Vandy has more talent than us and this years recruiting class at Vandy is way above ours.....we wish we were Vandy

No way he's retained. Hart should've told him because Dooley is right, the conflicting reports are not fair to his family.

I believe he knows, or has known. I'm sure him and his family are setting the proper things in motion. I do not think Hart would do a man that way. Too many others depending on him.

However it shakes out, I hope Coach Dooley and his family get through this with as little inconvenience as possible.

As for me, there are no hard feelings. He came here and gave his best effort, I have no doubt.

Unfortunately for him, and all of us, he is simply not prepared for such a monumental task. He was a risk, and slighly unproven. Our AD took a chance, and it has bitten us all in the proverbial arse.

No more "Taking Chances"!! Get a proven winner!!:peace2:

A few million and change will probably make up for some of his inconvenience. At least it would for me.
