Look at my second team icon in the middle. I would love for Chucky to coach at UT if it doesn't work out with Dooley. I hated to see Al run him for not winning 'his way' when he made an unprecedented trade of a coach for draft picks.

That being said, I would rather Dooley just be the guy and start winning now. Tired of losing seasons.

Agreed.

You dont win with other Coach's players in the NFL. In college yes, but definitely not the NFL. If Dooley is fired i would be ok with the hire, but my concern would be bolting back to the NFL. I hope we have a great year and that Dooley is truely the answer. He wont embarrass the university and is a great spokesperson for UT. Hoping he is the answer.

I'm still trying to figure out when Tony Dungy was the GM of the Tampa Bay Bucs with all this "Gruden won with his players".

People tend to forget the other team he beat in the SB was he team he took from 4-12 to a contender. So while he was winning with Dungy's team. The same could be said about Callahan getting there with Gruden's team.

He also kinda wore down/away/wrecked?(lacking a better word here) the Bucs in the years after that year 1 super bowl (/ by the time he was fired)...there's some possibility that should be weighed in all this as well








I'm also not sure that 4 win team the 5 years before their Super Bowl was necessarily the norm for the Raiders of that era...was anyone calling Callahan a good coach?

Dungy coaching the Bucs is what they mean...so "the players for [/ brought into run] his system"?

But with your logic, he should still be considered a good coach. I mean he was playing against the team that he had coached the year prior. So on all accounts he had two teams in the Super Bowl.

I can't believe Vol fans actually would not want a Super Bowl winning coach, someone who has a 54% winning percentage in two places that aren't exactly the easiest places to win. It's not like he is coming here or anything, but...

You all are either fools or crazy if you would not want him.

Could you imagine the QB recruits we would pull in?

Point is you can't have it both ways. If Gruden went with 'Dungy's team. Then Callahan got there to play them with 'Gruden's' team.

He could do what he wanted. It would be Saban-esque in my opinion. He'd pull in top five classes every year, and have one of the best coaching staffs in the country.

But he will either stay in the booth or go to the NFL.
