Count em!

The calamity, humpty dumpty, swirling, incoherent, ruthless, roller coaster ride from H___ of firing coaches must end. Case in point, I felt bad for Tyler Bray when he was on Gruden QB show and he was basically ran out of town because the new coach runs a different offense, so Coach Chaney advised him to go. The new players coming to play here have got to know the coach will be around!

Well I just hope he earns it, and he will stay a lot longer than that. This is the most excited I have been in a while, so I hope that translates to another long tenured coach for the Big Orange.

If coach Jones wins 2 SEC games in three years, he will be fired too. If he doesn't get over 500 in three years, he will be fired too. Cut throat business!! I agree he needs time, but you have to get better and not worse like Dooley did. If what happens to Jones that happened to Dooley, we will have a new coach in 3 years. This isn't going to happen though, IMO. Jones is a football coach. So, he should be here in 5 years and in good shape unless he is hired away. Which is a possibility because UT never ponies up to keep coaches........UT would rather fire them and still owe them money for years rather than reward them and keep them. Hopefully with Hart this culture has changed.

Never obligate yourself to keep a losing coach around for the sake of stability. Losing creates more instability than just about anything short of the death penalty.

seems like you should blame chaney for advising him to go. i think butch would have worked with him. its not his talents that hurt him its his maturity. if he fixes that he will make it

Agreed. Dooley should have been fired after the UK loss, IMO.

Between 1997 and 2007, no Bammer HC lasted more than 3yrs. Three of the five lasted 2 yrs or less.

Moral? Dump them quick. :good!:

Good to finally agree with you on something.

IMO, this year offers Jones a better chance at success than next year. But... he should get no more than 3 years to prove something.

Someone elsewhere said to watch recruiting rankings rather than wins. Recruiting well is crucial to success. But if he can't coach then it still won't matter. Charlie Weis makes a great case study... as does Ron Zook.

I hope he can coach. We WILL know within 3 years. If he can't coach then I hope he can keep recruiting like they have early so maybe the next guy can have some success.

Price didn't coach a game due to prostitute infraction, Dubose actually did have a good year in 99 but got caught up in banging the secretary scandal.

The Tide was forced to cut coaches, did not choose to do so.

For your username your posts are downright lacking in substance. Is there anything you do know what you are talking about?

Bama, UGA, UF, and even USCe have given coaches a short leash. It is pretty much standard if a guy doesn't produce to can him after 3 years.

I think he will win but worst than losing will be a coach that wins 8 or 9 games but still loses to bama n Fla but vol fans n hart keeps him around..

To me that's as bad as losing because u still r not relevant just a team that beats all the other losers n the sec..

I'm worried he becomes our johnny majors he has good years n bad n we keep him around .. johnny won at the end of his career I know that but god he was all over the board before that..

Before a coach is fired these days the buy out must be seriously considered. Coaching is the only profession in which one is rewarded for failure. :loco: :crazy: :no:

I'd like to see em here 10+.

We've had some good runs with the few that that made it that long.

He should at least stay until all the other buy outs are paid off, after that, all bets are off.

If CBJ was here, we would have had leadership from the top. The term "senior leadership" is only an excuse if the coach locks his door and leaves at 5 pm. If CBJ and company had been here last year Bray would have been more mature and drafted. Actually all our guys would have fared better in the draft. You can book it, CBJ and company are winners.
