See the problem is , someone sends this to you , then they start asking you to send it to them. This is how you end up in a situation where you basically get the blame for that. I know it looks like anyone could say this , I just trust the source and that isn't all he has said. Is it going to happen? Who knows. Maybe it's all wishful thinking.

I would hate him too if I were a Bucs fan. He was the coach when a cellar dwelling expansion team won it all.

I kid.

As anyone, you're entitled to your view.

The Bucs were already playin great ball under Dungy before Grudski ever got there. I never said and don't believe that he sucks as a offensive play caller. His worst flaws, are the flaws a College HC absolutely cannot have. He is not going to function well as a program builder/mantainer. Gruden is not a Nick Saban "process" type. He would take Dooleys veteran team and win for a couple of years, then leave for a NFL job, and then it would be back to wasteland status.

Does anybody think ga's schedule so far has been that much tougher then ours? This game will be closer then espn and the vol fan negavols think. I totally agree that bray is very up and down. He can however put up serious points, argue with that. DD is for the most part a rookie coach but he will be up for this game. ga IS overlooking us, there downfall. this game will be won or lost by 7. BANK ON IT!

I think you're seriously overanalyzing.

Missed the point dude. Look you guys want Gruden, and I despise the guy. So whatever. There is nothing I can do about it anyway. I just hope for all our sakes that we don't hire Gruden. He isn't what you guys think he is.

How do you like the idea of going with a coach that has never been a head coach. If that happens , we will be right back here in 3 years with the same problem imo. Nobody from the Saban tree please. I backed Dooley for nearly 3 years and like you , I want to win them all. He can save himself , but it's hard to believe that will happen. Been a rough 5 years. It hasn't been real good since 2001 to be honest. We had a good season here and there. But we have been down for way too long and I think it's starting to get to all of us.

Does anybody think ga's schedule so far has been that much tougher then ours? This game will be closer then espn and the vol fan negavols think. I totally agree that bray is very up and down.

DD is for the most part a rookie coach but he will be up for this game. ga IS overlooking us, there downfall. this game will be won or lost by 7. BANK ON IT!

UT is the 2nd most successful team (arguably I'm sure)historically in the SEC, and UT needs to be battling bama for the number one spot. We have slid so far from where I think UT belongs.

There schedule has been in their favor the past 2 years. It will be tougher for them next year , but they seem to be getting the talent to compete with the tougher teams. And I don't know if you think I am , but I am no negavol. I hope we blow their damn doors off this week and every week. Can we do it is the question. I don't have a lot of belief in that and who can balme us for thinking that way at this point?

If this crap happens you guys are in for a major letdown. Maybe not at first. Kind of like what happens when you marry a really sweet, beautiful girl, and then finding out she is a whack job total ***** that destroys your life. But whatever...dream away.:good!:

Damn right we should and damn right we have. All I am saying is WIN. If it doesn't work out for Dooley , don't bring us another work in progress. Tennessee is NOT where you learn how to be a coach.

My frustration tends to come out sometime. Your response was good. I have my doubts too but to keep my sanity I have to stay as positive as I can . I really do believe we can beat ga, I just hope the team believes it cause if they do we have the talent to get it done.
