It was posted on TOS that Dooley said fans hoped after next weeks final recruiting trips by the coaching staff, that Tennessee would be caught up with the rest of the league, but in reality it would take 2 years to get on tract recruiting.......and I assume he is not just talking about replenishing the roster deficits that he inherited.

My question is that Auburn's coach, Gene Chizik, came into a similar situation but appears to be recruiting well (top 5 class last year and on his way to another excellant class, it appears). Plus he came from the Midwest and it hasn't taken him two years to get a recruiting toehold.

I AM A DOOLEY SUPPORTER.
but it sounds like he is trying to set the bar low incase he does not do too well. however, that is the last thing we need. we need help and results, and we need em quick.

Auburn was also able to get 11 of their 32 recruits instate. And Auburn is very close to Georgia so Im guessing that makes it easier for them to pick up Georgia players which they had 7 of.

Well, Gene Chizik is doing well now because he was able to work on this years class last year like most other coaches. Derek wasn't able to do that. He was scrambling to keep the class together. Dooley will get things going (I hope). He needs a full year to work on recruiting both for this year and for starting relationships for next season.

Not in case he doesn't do well. Rather, when he does do well in 1 year, or wins in 2 yrs, He looks better. Downplaying the success that he ultimately and inevitably expects is a way to set up for high praise if you get there early. (Just a thought)

I hope he means 2 years to be recruiting like Florida and Alabama are now. It should not take this staff 2 years to get "back on track" in a recruiting sense, especially with the staff we employ. I support Dooley, and I don't think we should jump to rash conclusions. My opinion, TIFWIW.

I agree kush. Anytime there's a coaching change, there is going to be a minor to major set back. In our case, we have had 3 different coaches in 3 years. Dooley is just saying it will take 2 years of developing relationships & stellar recruiting to get where UT needs to be.

If what I am hearing about Auburn's recruiting is true we don't want to be doing as well, and we will stay off probation.

If it takes two years to improve recruiting, we hired the wrong coach.

Considering all the info you have to gather on recruits, schools, regions, and other things, he is exactly right. It will take 2 years to be fully caught up to other schools as far as relationships and information they have gathered before Dooley and Co. got to The Hill. Other schools have been focusing on this class for well over 2 years, so we are in catch up mode, and will be for sometime.

Again, how is Chizik able to recruit well when he has only been at Auburn about 17 months?
