We fans don’t know which coach would be a good fit. We don’t. I wouldn’t trust any of our opinions.

Problem is Currie has no equity, no benefit of the doubt, no evidentiary proof that he can do this right.

That’s why we are all so on edge. Currie is a wildcard in all this.

I’m so nervous. Doeren could be perfect, but Currie lost what little shred of confidence we had in him.

I’m at a loss.

The criteria they are using for Schiano and Doereen tells me that Dan Mullen wasn’t really a candidate at all.

They were just waiting til he got a new job or a new contract before they went after Schiano.

What is he saying?

There is a reason we keep hiring the same type coach- Dooley, Butch, possibly Doreen. That the money offered to Gundy was basically a show knowing he wouldn't take the deal. Out of nowhere suddenly we are offering that kind of money then go cheap with Brohm... it was done purposely is what I understood from Skeeters tweets.

Then be prepared for the same search over and over again every 5 years while we sink as a program.

Are you telling me you think Barry Odom and Mark Stoops are better coaches than Doeren? Doeren could do fine here if people give him a chance. I’d rather have Brohm and am stunned that we somehow screwed that up, but it is what it is. I’d rather win with Doeren than lose with Doeren, so I will support him.

Stupid question...Are we blowing up Doeren's twitter with "Please dont come" tweets?

Not a good look. Not his fault.


I said it earlier. If Currie and Haslam are this damn stupid then let them hire this guy. When that monstrosity of a stadium has 50-60k in it for games they will get the message.

Doeren sucks. Only a fit here because sucking is what we do.

I am not convinced that Doeren is the guy at all, but you just never know. Again, Saban and Miles has very similar middling records at Mich St and Ok St, and both of those obviously really turned on the jets at an SEC power. It could happen. But even if Doeren just goes 8-4 for a few years, that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. If he has support (rather than relentless negativity) around him, I think it’s pretty easy to see at least that happening.

Dave Doeren is hot garbage. Period.

Yep, him and Gundy were just to try and placate the masses. They're deadset on hiring a d!ck.

Haha skeeter added 100 followers since I posted his tweet. VN rolls strong 😂

He went silent a long time ago there like he did here. Haslam awoke the beast.

Yeah, i signed up for Twitter just to follow his tweets. I'm in. Burn it down... we'll rise from the ashes.

EDIT: I followed @VolsReVOLt and then @skeeter33418

To everybody saying they'd give Doeren a chance, I agree with you.


If we hired him after we make Leach, Morris, Miles, and Tee say no.


Him being the guy we're gunning for at this stage of the process is inexcusable.

I don't expect him to win a single conference game here. I would take Stoops or Odom in a second over him.

Good point. Kim Jong Un probably did legitimately turn us down

At this point they really just need to move the timeline back a bit and wait things out. See where the FSU dominoes fall and where the guys with their eyes on A&M and FSU end up.

Nobody is going to sweep in and hire Doeren out from under us. It's beyond moronic to rush to finish a deal with him.

This. I don't see the need to rush to hire this jackwad. You're going to lose the recruits anyway if you hire him so may as well take a chance and see what next week brings.

I haven't watched NC State a whole lot, but I think Eli Drinkwitz is an up and comer in college football. He is a Malzahn protege. He was the one that was rumored to have met with Gruden.

I haven't either but one of the best games i watched this year was NC State vs Clemson

Doeren routinely got his ass kicked by Boston College, but he is going to come here and win?

I think we're being slow played by Norvell and Morris, who're waiting to see what Arky and aTm are going to do. It's going around that Norvell made a crack about already coaching at the best program in Tennessee and UT would be a big step down. Norvell has several strikes, so I doubt he's a viable option.

And you offered that to a guy at his dream job knowing it wouldn't matter

This is just so frustrating to me, because he definitely won’t win when the fans would rather “burn it to the ground” than support him.

No More Haslam Hires.
Say it out loud.
You will feel better.
You will feel relieved from the Battered Vol Syndrome.
Come into the light and out of the Haslam darkness.
This is about a total cleansing.
This is the long needed exorcism of our beloved University.
This is not about Doeren or even Currie.
The poisonous Haslams need to take their blood money and go.
We will find clean money to replace it.
