Is it too early to worry?

BTW, I have not bought in. I want facts and proof. There just isn't enough of those for me to write him off or buy in. I am also skeptical... but I was still skeptical of Kiffin while acknowledging some good things he'd done.

It takes more than Kiffin's recruiting and 7-6 season to win me over... so it definitely takes more than what Dooley has done so far.

......Oh, well then we kinda agree. Ur not as one sided as i thought and im probably not either. I dont hate CDD in anyway and still believe he can be successful, like i said i argue so hard for one view because it seems like people just follow him without any mind of there own.

I just try my best to play it straight up. The truth will always compensate for itself.

You didn't mean those were the only highly rated players from the south did you?

I honestly think you will see at least two and possibly more of those TN OL's "highly touted". It looks to be a banner year in TN for OL's... hopefully Dooley will build that fence that Fulmer and Kiffin couldn't manage. Beyond that, I think he will recruit GA well.

I am also one that believes there's a "formula" for success at UT that doesn't involve top 5 recruiting classes or outrecruiting UF/FSU/Miami for the best players in FL. I don't think we can realistically expect UT to be better than the 4th choice in FL... and those kids won't win championships.

UT's coaches need to know every pee stop on I-85 from Greensboro to Columbus, GA. UT can easily become a top 2 choice in GA, SC, and NC. They need to become #1 in TN... at least middle TN and East TN. You can draw a circle about 300 miles around K'ville and find as much talent as there is in FL... and you don't have to convince them to leave family and friends so soon.

I agree about the TN OL talent. If CDD doesn't watch it we will lose it. Guys open your eyes for a minute Tennessee Football is in a bad situation right now. Look at the facts.
