Good morning to the Grudenite faithful, both charter members, and new converts alike.

I hope wherever you are is as bright and sunny as it is here in beautiful west Knoxville on the shores of Ft Loudon Lake.

The morning is crisp and the new day is filled with promise. You can feel hope blowing on the winds of change. Let your heart not be troubled, for a new day is dawning. It's been a long time comin', but change gonna come!

The game is over....there will be consequences. Let it play out.

I disagree with the talent level. CDD has recruited well enough to be undefeated at this point.
He appears to be a horrible game day coach.

At it's the same shiz different day.
I still have zero confidence in UTs ability to hire.

Our problem is in no way talent related. We don't know what to do with the incredible amount of talent we do have.

That will change soon.

Where is TitanVolDooleyfan4life with his daily berating of us? I would love to hear his spin on last night's cluster****.

In the words of the Steve Miller Band, Dooley.

Doyle, I gotta feeling they'll be on here later with some of their own spin. Don't think they'll ever give it up.

I saw some good things last night, (kicking) but seems like one or two things go wrong each game and they're usually different things each game. He (coach) just can't seem to get things rolling all in the same game.

Dear AD Hart, well we are at the midway point of the season and again we find our team ranked in the bottom three with Kentucky and Mizzu and we arelooking up at Vanderbilt for the second straight year. This is unacceptable. These players an fans deserve the best we can give them. Time to step up can this clown and get us a coach. No more Patterson talk, we deserve one of the top three coaches available in the country. Make it happen!

Slice, I disagree with you and BV on the talent. We have "good" players, but not good enough to win those top level SEC games. We have been rated constantly the last few years in the middle of SEC recruiting. That has to change to get back to the top......JMHO.

If we fire Dooley, make jay graham the intern, keep all the assistants until the end, and hire gruden to recruit. We will be in great shape for next year. We might have 2 staffs though.

I know it's probably just hangover and disgust from last night but I have a sick fear that Hart does nothing and Dooley is back next year.

Boys and girls, understand that Dooley doesn't have to be fired before a deal is put in place with a new coach. I have gotten significant information from folks connected with other coaches that Gruden is our target. Others that have some inside connections have heard the same things.

Saban was hired by Bama before their coach was fired. Hart is an AD that folks respect.

I'm not saying it is 100%, but this is WAY more than a pipe dream.

Butts in seats is the key phrase. Don't know an official total, but the money the fans spend goes way beyond the price of the tickets. IF Dooley comes back next year, that figure might be at 2,000 attendees per game.
I'm sure the AD has that information though.

Do you see midseason fire of Dooley or not until after Kentucky game? I dont think that I could wait until end of season. I wish they would do press conference tomorrow and mend the misery!

Jon Gruden does not want the job. He has a stress free job that pays well. Why would he come our way for all the stress and fans that think they have a say in the matter?

At this point, I don't care if they promote the janitor off night shift out of Ayers Hall. :banghead2:

agreed, as long as he has been told he won't be retained, he doesn't have to be fired .

Sup! Where are the pumpers now?

See you can polish a turd until it shines but it will never smell like anything but shat!

In trouble with the wife for being on VN so much that may be my contribution for the day.

Go Vols! FU. Dooley!!!!

I figured this would be a good post to greet my fellow Grudenites!

Good morning and how's it going?

That post was perfectly worded and how we Grudenites feel right now..Do what it takes!

I will run thru a brick wall to get Gruden here!!

:salute:
