Kirby Smart most likely will replace Dooley (according to what I've heard)

[Ernest Volmingway]

I will not renew my season tickets. That would be a terrible hire, and would set us back even further. If we can't get Gruden, the first person we need to call is Chris Petersen. We don't need another Alabama reject here, and if Hart makes this move he should be immediately fired.

 

[YankeeVol]

I sure hope not.

Though IF we did go with a coordinator, he'd be towards the top of the list

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

With the new commitment from the boosters to spend the money, if that is the best Hart can do, he is not the AD for UT.

This is true.

 

[9296potsguy]

No.

Kirby Smart is at least a successful defensive coordinator. While I would not be happy with the Smart hire. He would be leaps and bounds better and more proven than Dooley. Who was actually proven. . . . to be a horrible coach.

He's never coached. Just another product of the Saban system that is all Saban.

 

[f77f00]

Hire him and I will have one favorite team, namely whoever is playing 'bama that week. Hart needs to make a serious hire or show himself along with the rest of the 'bama trash we have accumulated to the door.

 

[rocktopper16]

Yeah, it's one of those things where I heard from somebody who is close to the program. Hart really wants to make Kirby Smart the HC.

That's all I've got. I hope not, but that's what I was told.

Kirby for DC.

 

[Lexvol]

If Hart is spending the boosters' money, Smart will not be the hire.

When are people going to realize Nick runs the D, not his DC?

His coaching tree is for ****....no doubt about it.

 

[JuggernaUT_VOL]

I would want to turn my fan card in if this happens...

Anyone but Dooley is an upgrade at this point but this would be a mistake IMO...

 

[247VOL365]

Not another mother humping, mouth-breathing Alabama c0ck gobbling Sabanite!!!

 

[Godfatha]

Heck no. This would be a horrible idea. Haven't we learned enough with Sunseri?

 

[TSwafford]

vomit

Kirk Herbstreit ‏@KirkHerbstreit

"@andrew420115: @KirkHerbstreit how does Tennessee not hire Kirby Smart?" Who knows they might...he's ready

 

[Godfatha]

I would burn Dave Hart's mattress if this were true (which I doubt it is).

 

[TheDoolander]

I heard a couple of "in the know" lawn guys who said its Ron zook for the win

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

When are people going to realize Nick runs the D, not his DC?

I would guess whenever the see Alabama play and watch Kirby Smart running the defense.

 

[UT IE 95]

There is a long list of better candidates. Smart would be a hire if we are going on the cheap again.

 

[247VOL365]

If we hire Smart, we will officially be known as "The Team Who Wishes They Were Alabama, but Just Can't Quite Pull it Off"

 

[508mikey]

hmy:

Heck no. This would be a horrible idea. Haven't we learned enough with Sunseri?

hmy: Sunseri would still be here then -- heaven help us

 

[Godfatha]

I would guess whenever the see Alabama play and watch Kirby Smart running the defense.

Your dogged support of Dooley detracts from any meaningful input you would have on a coaching hire.

 

[Wolfeman_Vol]

Idiots! We need a had coach! Not a damn coordinator just because he's ridden Saban's cost tails. F'ing Hart should stop trying to turn us into that sh!thole.

 

[247VOL365]

We might as well change the Power T to a stylized T and replace it with jersey numbers on the feckin' helmets!

 

[247VOL365]

I want a coach who wants to murder Saban, not blow him.

 

[247VOL365]

metaphorically speaking, of course

 

[JuggernaUT_VOL]

247vol365 gets it!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Please no more Alabama hires. These guys coach elite talent and can't coach the one who need it. Sal proved that.

 

[247VOL365]

247vol365 gets it!

I thank you.
