I certainally hope Dooley doesn't return even if we do indeed win out. We are currently rated #11 in the SEC in recruiting for 2013 and won't be able to compete with mid level SEC teams at this rate. It's a shame that UT has to do on the Job training with it's current HC. Following the Vols for almost 43 years and can't remember such a poorly coached squad. Listening to Sports Talk Radio in Atlanta today even they admitted that UT (and Auburn) are now the laughing stock of the SEC....particularly the Vols with only 4 SEC wins in the last 2 3/4 years...if Dooley stays, UT Football is Dead! I personally, am tired of the embarrassing play and Loosing....face it the Vols are on Life Support and very very few highly rated recruits are even considering UT. With such a horrible SEC winning percentage and with a coach listed as the most likely to be fired (and should be fired)....do you blame them?
Been a fan 40+ years myself and this pretty much sums it up.
