i hope i'm wrong, but i don't see us having a shot at winning. What i think will happen is bama will run,run,run,run behind that great O line of theirs. Halfway through the 3rd quarter our D will be completely gassed. Our offense will sputter on a few too many possessions and bama will capitalize off of it. I hope i'm wrong, but i fear that i'm right.:cray::cray:

 

[vols-1]

WRONG my friend.

CDD has has 2 1/2 years because we still have 1/2 a season to play.

You're also WRONG about the recruiting because CDD has brought ONLY 2 of HIS recruiting classes that are in school and on the team.

Be realistic and LOOK at how pathetically few Vols are in the NFL over the last few years and then LOOK at how many future NFL players that CDD has brought in since he's been here and by that standard we ARE much better on the player roster but NOT stacked up on a 2 deep gameday roster with future NFL players like all the top SEC teams are...YET!

The ONLY person that will decide if CDD leaves or stays is AD Hart and he did a good interview that ALL UT fans should read and LEARN from at Alabama Local News, Breaking News, Sports & Weather - al.com

Questions for AD Hard to decide on...

1...Will the big $$$ boosters give UT the $20 Million it will take to fire CDD and staff and to hire a big named, winning coach that can also recruit as well as CDD can?

2...Does AD Hart already have that big named coach ready to sign a contract and take over rebuilding for another 3 or 4 years knowing the teams UT has to Play for the next few years?

3...Since UT is basically broke and we need at least 1 new building to get built as soon as we can for our players is the projected revenue still in the black or are we really losing money and in the red?

4...Does AD Hart see enough progress being made on the player roster to feel confident that we'll be able to compete with the best in the SEC in another year or 2 with CDD running things?

5...Does AD Hart have confidence in CDD and CSS to have our new 3-4 D past most hurdles and ready to play well by next season?

6...IF, and a huge IF, the big $$$ boosters are willing to commit the $20 Million then is AD Hart ready to put his reputation and his job on the line and does he have the big names coach ready to sign the contract to the point that Hart is ready to pull the trigger very soon and risk his own job or will he tell the boosters to save their money for 1 more year and evaluate things by game 8 or so next season.

7...Does AD Hart like what he sees already commited to our next recruiting class and like the kids CDD is still working on to fill position needs and have a good recruiting class or is AD Hart willing to risk getting a lousy recruiting class AND maybe losing alot of our current players and setting our football program BACK another 3, 4 or more years?

Getting rid of CDD is actually a HUGE gamble and unless every part of this falls into place then firing CDD after this season is actually a very dumb move by AD Hart.

$$$ is an important factor but if AD Hart sees that we ARE still in the PROFIT position for this year and next year then some of the valid reason to let CDD go is removed because UT badly needs money and we must have a new on campus dorm building for our players ASAP.

Go read and LEARN from the AD Hart interview at Alabama Local News, Breaking News, Sports & Weather - al.com

VFL...GBO!!!

TN has saved enough for DD buyout over the past three years by going with such a cheap hire in the first place. TN is in the boat as Arkansas, sometimes a coach is just so bad you have to move on no matter who what.

 

[VolDC]

What does "get carries" mean for CP exactly? They surely aren't going to run him between the tackles. Maybe he will run sweeps along with reverses. I can see that--maybe. We should probably throw him at least three bubble screens a game--AT LEAST.

My be a great package for play action.

 

[orangelo]

just said on 104.5 in nashville. FULMER either beats bama or usc or he is gone. is he a negavol?

fyp

 

[winsec]

I'm going to add one other thing. Dooley will not be fired unless he loses to Missouri, Troy, Vandy, or Kentucky.

You negavols began the year talking about how horrible Chaney was, how horrible the running game is, and now since the offense is ONE OF THE BEST in the SEC you don't say anything about it now.

Most of you negavols were all for switching to 3-4. Now it shows how Dooley is such a bad coach that he should have seen switching was a mistake. Tennessee defense is horrible right now. It wasn't very good last year. But to base your decision off of 6 games is sad, short sighted and boring to listen too.

In "hindsight" Jimmy questions the move to 3-4. Wow why isn't Jimmy coaching and making millions instead flapping his gums about "hindsight".

I don't know if Dooley is going to make it or not, but I hope he does. Because for one thing if he does that means Tennessee is back!!

Do any of you give Dooley credit for one of the BEST OFFENSES in the SEC? And next year they will likely be better because of better RUNNING!!!

Do any of you give Dooley credit for the class players that are now on this team. They talk about TEAM not me, they don't get into trouble (other than Kiffin's criminal DRogers).

Think about it. Tennessee hasn't lost a game because they can't score points. You could make an argument that 1-3 plays in each of their losses cost them victory.

You negavols come across as hoping Tennessee loses so you can have your Gruden(I still don't see where you think he is such a great college coach) or Petterson, or Briles (please he lost 70-63). These spread offenses don't work in the SEC. The exceptions are with elite QB's like Cam and Tebow. How often can you find a QB like those two. It's rare.

I'm pulling hard for Dooley to make you negavols "eat your words"!!! How many of you will have the guts to admit you were wrong if he does make it?

why would any so called tennessee fan have a name like bear bryant? they wouldn't. let me clue you in silly. it tells the whole world where you stand. who gives a crap what a bammer thinks or does. go back to your boy scout meeting if you know what i mean and i think you do.

 

[TucsonVol]

Jon Gruden has already turned Hamilton down before. There is no way Jon Gruden would take over such a wrecked program!

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

Jon Gruden has already turned Hamilton down before. There is no way Jon Gruden would take over such a wrecked program!

I would be very surprised if Gruden is ever the head coach at TN but what actually happened is he gave a figure and we weren't willing to meet it.

 

[Vol737]

Expect to see more 4 man front tomorrow.

In hindsight, Jimmy questions the move to a 3-4.

This is key I think. It was the final straw against Fulmer when he went to entirely different offense under Dave Clawson. Why in the world would Dooley allow Sunseri to come in here and tinker with a very risky DEF scheme in what he HAD to know was his make or break year? We finally have some depth on the roster and you pull the rug out from under them by saying "okay guys, new defense...learn this $h@t quick b/c we got some big games comin' up!"

 

[preacherwebb]

I think CP lined up in the I formation running a sweep could be interesting.

Him running between the tackles would be interesting, but probably not for the same reasons.

I'm not a negavol ... I love my Vols.
I don't think he will make it ... but would gladly admit I was wrong if he could win some real games, not overmatched Akron and perennial bottom feeders Vandy.
Did I mention Kentucky won with a WR at QB?

Look, I'm not being ugly ... I just want UT to win, and I don't care if it's Majors, Fulmer, Kiffin, Dooley, Gruden, or Donald Duck.

Just sayin ... eace2:

Sorry for the double post ... not sure what happened.
Although, I do feel I made great points.

 

[preacherwebb]

Exactly! He turned down HAMILTON.
He has not turned down Hart ... and may not.

Is it okay to actually pray about this?

 

[gasguy98]

All valid points. Something to consider about bama, they really havent played ANYONE with a great offense.
Look at who theve played, the top offenses are Michigan (with a glorified RB at Qb), Arkansas(backup QB), Ole Miss, and Mizzou (backup QB)
There coached by Saban, so they will be good in every phase, but im intrested to see, if we punch them in the mouth a bit, score some TD's, (only given up 45 pts this year) , i wonder how they will respond.

Truely havent been tested, not saying we go out score 50 points and win, just saying, I want to test that defense a little bit and not crown them as world beaters because of what previous teams have done there

I wouldn't call our offense "great" as it lacks consistency. It certainly can be explosive but it is not great.

Agreed. Starting 3-5 then feasting on the dregs of the conference to get to 7-5 is not an accomplishment.

Perfectly stated imo.

 

[et_vol_fan]

I think Dooley has to make a good showing against both teams. Two blow outs=unemployment line for Dooley.

If Dooley finishes the season 7-5 having lost to every good team on the schedule then he should be let go. This team has more talent than that. In fact, if he loses the next two... an interim should finish the season while a search is conducted. If a new coach is named before the end of the season, they will have a much better chance of salvaging the '13 recruiting class.

I have pretty much argued with the negavols that Dooley should get his fair shot. Argued the same in favor of Fulmer. The program comes first... not "fairness" to the coach. DD has now gotten the fairest shot UT could afford without hurting the progress of the program. He needs a big win to prove he's the guy. Simple as that.

Unlike most here, my position hasn't changed since the UK loss. This is his year. He needs to beat someone in the top tier of the SEC. He's 0-2 with 2 to go. He has a good enough team to do it IF he can coach.

And That

Agreed. Starting 3-5 then feasting on the dregs of the conference to get to 7-5 is not an accomplishment.

 

[MFL]

Bama has yet to play a team with a great offense ? I dont think it starts with the VOLS ... At best an average offense for Bama to face. VOLS going down by 21+

 

[Clintg]

just said on 104.5 in nashville. dooley either beats bama or usc or he is gone. is he a negavol?

No he is just being realistic. One of the big things he said was the attendance at Neyland. That was one factor that got Phil Fulmer fired, who did win a National Championship. I have not been big on Hyams, but he was also right on D'rick Rogers.

 

[98utvols]

f*** Jimmy and the sports animal he rode in on!

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

A booster does not have to give Hart/UT anywhere near 20 million dollars. Would it help if a booster covered the 1st few months payments? Sure it would. Maybe 1 million dollars would put us in shape to make the move to another coach. Once a proven coach is hired, the extra money brought in via ticket sales and support of the fanbase who has given up on Dooley would cover the future monthly payments. Merchandise sales, and revenue aquired through alot of other areas will take place as fans will have HOPE again. Alot of fans like myself, just can't support a losing coach. The BS talk of 20 million dollars is just another fabricated number come up with by Doolites looking for a reason to allow UT football to fall further behind in the SEC. Make the change Hart. Give these kids a chance to win.

1...I've NEVER seen you post anything good or positive about our Tennessee Vols, NEVER.

2...That leads me to believe that you're NOT a UT Vols fan but are actually just another useless Poser/Troll that's just here to stir the crap and hope you can keep some good recruits from coming to Tennessee.

3...It's obvious that you've never run a business and are clueless about financials.

4...I didn't make anything up and the FACT is that I even gave you a link to go read a interview from AD Hart and what he said so you could attempt to actually LEARN some things right out of the mouth of our AD.

5...Rather than to be smart and go read what AD Hart said you simply chose to ignore everything factual and come back and argue with your normal anti-Tennessee garbage and crap based on total ignorance and cluelessness.

Go back to your Bama, floriDUHHH or Vandy board little man because all us real Tennessee fans have exposed you as the Vol hating Poser/Troll you really are.

VFL...GBO!!!

Great story Dr Seuss, I enjoyed it.


Please do not blame fellow Vol fans for losing recruits. It is not my fault, nor other fellow Vol fans fault our coach loses every game that matters. Maybe you should question if DD is a real Vol fan? He seems to be the one costing us recruits. I like you trying to spin it though. It speaks to where we are as a football power in the SEC.

I have ran/do run several business ventures. Your "FACTS", are just fabricated BS that you spout off while quoting articles that do not confirm anything you say. Maybe it makes sense n your mind. NO WHERE has Hart said he needs boosters to offer up 20+ million for him to hire a coach. NO WHERE has that been said. The buyouts are clear. The way these buyouts would be paid out if needed are clear. They are set up to be paid out MONTHLY. 20 million is a worthless number to even look at as considering what the cost of ALL the buyouts plus the total contract for the new coaches would not be paid up front.

Your looking for excuses to keep a career losing coach. You try and blame everyone else for our coaches faults and lack of ability. I understand your frustration with losing, blaming fans instead of the coaches responsible for it, speaks loudly to your ignorance and cluelessness.

:hi:

Apparently one is only a Vol fan if he is a sheep who finds losing perfectly acceptable. I think the truth is these are secret Bama fans who want us to keep Dooley and continue losing.

Yeah. Hoping our team wins are the new negavols/trolls.
