New forum: Coaching Rumors and Speculation

[slickstirs]

Don't worry about the troll. You are correct that Dools will not be here next year.

trust me my friend ..i am no troll...as i have stated, i went to my first ut game on nov 16, 1968...go figure what that year and that date mean to this university...and in my opinion...Dooley will be the coach of this university...because if you do not get a huge hire...and that was tried 3 years ago...then dooley should and will remain...i really don't think most people on here understand what the shape this football team was in when dooley took it over...it was near the so called "death penalty"...if you can't see the strides he has made to bring this team back, then you are blind....keep in mind there is a long way to go to get there but it takes time....not running thru coaches every 3 years....there is only one saban...miles...meyers...now tell me who is this next huge hire.......

Middle of the road(SB winning) NFL coach that would ignite the recruiting at UT would be a winner.

I have said countless times I do not need Gruden hired to feel good again about UT football. I will take ANY coach who has proven he is capable of winning some meaningful games. If it is Gruden, great. If it is Tubberville..fine. If it is ANYONE other than Dooley, I have hope going into next year.

LMAO!!!

You sure do love FAILED coaches that were FIRED for their Failures, LOL.

Gruden was FIRED for Failure.

Now you want Tubberville that was FIRED for Failure.

LMAO @ you having any credibility at all but you ARE humorous, LOL.

VFL...GBO!!!

I really think that if they pulled the plug on Dooley, Cut, Tubbs, or Strong would be the direction they would go. Gruden would be the home run hire. He could fire up the base and bring top recruits in.

You could be right my friend.

Firing CDD just to hire 1 of those 3 would be assinine and a huge waste of money.

It would be much smarter to keep CDD and staff for 1 more year and give our big $$$ boosters and AD Hart another year to try and find a solid homerun hire if CDD doesn't get it done next season against alot of the top SEC teams and we'll know that by this time next year.

If we don't get a solid homerun hire that CAN also recruit well nationwide then we'll just be going backwards and that's just plain dumb.

You speak of Gruden and Tubberville as failed coaches and then turn around and support keeping Dooley? lol:

Please do not ever post again. Credibility? lol:

"Let's just keep Dooley so we can save money". lol:

Maybe you failed to notice the reason we are losing money is BECAUSE of Dooley and his FAILURES!!lol:

I agree the shape was bad his first year. However, he had decent talent the second year and still lost to KY. He had great talent this year and still lost to MS St after a bye week.

We have enough talent to know be winless against ranked teams. That is why he needs to go.

I NEVER support any specific coach my friend.

I support my Tennessee Vols no matter who the coaches are at the time.

If AD Hart decides to replace CDD and this staff then I'll support the next coaching staff just like I've always done.

What's sad about you is that you CHOOSE to ignore all the improvements that CDD has brought to our team just like you choose to agree with Nick Saban that CDD and CSS are actually good coaches that do know what they're doing.

I'll believe the best coach/recruiter in college football long before I'll believe someone with zero credibility that's NEVER even 1 time posted anything good or positive about our Tennessee Vols football team.

I've always thought you were a TROLL and my opinion hasn't changed.

Always a good idea to listen to a guy who beats your brains out on a yearly basis. "I am Nick Saban and I support Derek Dooley". "He is doing a great job". "I look forward to curb stomping him again next year with my 4th 31 point victory in a row". "Please sign him to an extension". lol:

If CDD is such a bad coach then WHy did Nick Saban keep CDD for 7 years and make CDD his Assistant HEAD COACH over every other coach on his coaching staff?

If CDD is so horrid a coach then why did Saban beg CDD to go to bama with him?

You always ignore all facts and logic, never answer any questions and have NEVER made even 1 post that says anything good or positive about our Tennessee Vols football program no matter what proven progress has been made.

Most of your posts towards me are actually very immature and childish but I support your right to be as immature and childish as you have fun being, LOL.

Exactly. 7 years and never made OC/DC.

He begged him? You were there and sat in on the begging? Interesting.

I pay close attention to the facts and logic. You lack in both. Your answer is to keep a career losing coach. I do not support that idea. It may make alot of sense in your mind. The FACTS support the idea that a new HC would be the best idea.

 

[Dr H Lecter]

I'm having a hard time seeing the improvement from year one to year three. We were 3-5 in year one at this time of year; 2-6 in year two; and 3-5 in year three. We ended up 6-6 in year one; 5-7 in year two and who knows in year 3. I'll give you that the offense is better this year; but you'll have to give me that our defense is worse. We are still getting beaten by the same teams that we getting beaten by for the last two years. We will be playing those same teams (and yes they are good) next year and thereafter, it is the SEC.

Let me try and help you learn some things about college football my friend.

On a college coaching staff there's actually 3 very important positions the Head Coach MUST rely on if the program is going to grow, progress and built to become a successful and consistent Winning program.

1 is the O coordinator.

2 is the D coordinator

3 is actually the MOST important position and that's the Recruiting Coordinator.

All 3 of those positions takes lots of extra time besides the normnal time of coaching the kids.

In college football the program lives, grows and rebuilds or will die from recruiting and that's why the RC is the most important position because the O and D coords can't Win without good players to coach.

Nick Saban won the National Championship at LSU because he was able to consistently recruit good players and CDD was the Recruiting Coordinator, the MOST important assistant to Saban and CDD was also a good coach which is why Saban made CDD his Assistant HEAD COACH because Saban wanted his best coach to replace him in case he was injured or sick.

Everyone here knows you'll lie or try to spin these facts to fit your hate CDD agenda but these are undeniable and proven facts no matter how much you hate CDD.

I'll say this again because you always choose to ignore all facts...I am NOT a supporter of CDD.

I am a supporter of my Tennessee Vols and whoever our players and coaches may be.

If AD Hart decides to make a change of our coaching staff then I will support the new coaching staff just like I've supported every coaching staff for 50 years.

I hope I helped you actually learn something my friend because there is a coordinator position in college coaching that is more important than the OC and the DC and now you know what that is so your very lame excuse that CDD was never a OC or a DC just won't fly anymore since he was the assistant Head Coach for Saban.

You can sign all the 4 & 5 star talent in the world. If you can't COACH them, your going to fail. Dooley has failed. Twist it, Spin it, Massage it, or whatever you need to do. The fact is....Dooley is a loser and always has been as a coach. The records/numbers....prove it. :thumbsup:

recruiting coordinator is not exactly as important as it sounds. That does not mean he is the best recruiter, just helps organize logistics.

Keep on trying to make yourself believe that my friend.

The RC talks to ever kid they're recruiting and their parents.

The RC sets up every appointment for the HC and/or the position coaches to visit all the schools and all the kids.

The RC sets up and manages all the kids visits to the campus and makes sure the HC and position coaches have plenty of time to spend with every kid, ect, ect, ect.

Now tell me something...HOW can any team keep rebuilding their player roster every year consistently to keep Winning or build to a Championship without good recruiting?

HOW can the OC or the DC have really good players to teach and coordinate on gameday if the RC does a lousy job.

CDD proved he's a good recruiter even with only 2 weeks before National Signing Day and even with possible NCAA sanctions coming down on us and even with 1 of the worst programs in the nation and with a pathetic W/L record.

I'll support a new coaching staff if that's what AD Hart decides because I never support any coach over my Vols program.

I'll also point out crap when crap is posted and I'll give credit where credit is earned.

The only thing I want is for my Vols to get Wins and lots of Wins because I'm too old to wait 10 more years to even get a sniff at a SEC Championship or beyond.

Our last 3 recruiting classes have ranked:

9th 2010
13th 2011
17th 2012

Dooley's best class was the one where Kiffin & Co did most of the work. We have fell off yearly since then. We are ranked 21st so far this year. Maybe recruits are starting to see what most fans see. Talk, does not equate to wins and getting it done on the field.

You made my point. He doe the logistics. Tell me this, who was the last coach at Tennessee who did not recruit well..... That would be Bill Battle. While I do think he recruited pretty well considering his lack of success anywhere, he has proven it is one or combination of these things. Either he can not evaluate talent, coach them up, or hire the right coaches. If he could he would have beat a couple of ranked SEC schools by now. A good coach could NEVER have lost to that Ky team. Should we move to another conference of just be ok with 500 records?

[willieboy]

Try rational thinking for a change -- it may even lead you to a whole new outlook on life. First, we would not have "the most potent passing attack in the game and a very mature offensive line", nor would we have "the weapons we [have]" if not for Dooley. He was intimately involved in recruiting all but a very few of our players and has overseen every bit of coaching that they have received since they have been here. Ultimately, after the Lord, we have to thank Dooley for everything positive about the current edition of the Vols.

I know this will shock you, and if you wish you may continue to believe your delusion that we were "supposed to beat Mississippi State", but you are dead wrong in that conclusion. The people who know the most about college football and "who should beat whom" -- the folks that make the lines and those who bet them, as well as the majority of sports commentators agreed that Mississippi State was the team that was "supposed to" win.

I know your were shocked and angry that you lost your money, but go back and check the sources you trust and yes, they will all tell you that MSU was favored to win the game.

Your anger and the anger of "fans" who think like you are severely harming the program you claim to love because your posts screaming for Dooley to be fired are not only making our program and fans a national laughing stock, but more importantly they are destroying our ability to recruit elite players and will set us back several years or more in our goal of returning to the top. Be careful what you wish for -- what makes you so sure that if your wish is granted that the next coach will do better than Dooley?? Then what will we do and where will the money come from to do it???

mlsoft

Dooley should never have been hired he didn't have the resume for an SEC program. That being said now that he is here he should receive a fair chance if he is really getting the recruiting job done. Frankly I haven't seen any improvement in the team overall. If the defense is good the offense sucks and vice versa. I don't have any confidence at all in this coaching staff, but Tennessee will never shell out the bucks to hire a really top coach like Bama did. They will spend mega millions on facilities and then hire grade school coaches. Its the same thing with BB Martin is going to be a mediocre coach who will have up and down years. Rarely will he compete for championships. And now it looks like the end of one of the best girls BB programs in history as well with the end of the Summit era.

 

[willieboy]

But when was the Vegas line made, Fooley was well regarded as a loser. Our team is unorganized, poorly coached, and we won't do better than 6-6. We are undisciplined, and predictable. We haven't improved any, for we've gone backwards since nc state. Whoever says we aren't more talented than msu is delusional.

Actually I have predicted after the Akron game that TN would be hard pressed to win 5 games this season. Akron stuffed us at the line of scrimage over and over. Well the run game has actually improved considerably but I think TN will be hard pressed to even beat Vandy and KY.
