We need to be really happy with CDD.

[volmancagle17]

and CLT and CJC for that matter too.

This is a great job. Lane Kiffin brought in a number 10 class after having the job in December. CDD got a number 9 class with 21 days on the job. Stop looking at all the stars and the other teams and just sit back and say "IT IS GREAT TO BE A TENNESSEE VOL".

He is a classy version of Nick Saban. He is calm, smart, and a great recruiter. We have an outstanding staff behind him. I feel 1000 times more confident we can be a National Championship team with him. I like this team coming in A whole heckuva lot too.

What a great day to be a Tennessee vol. Sit back and enjoy this coach, not alot of guys like this come along.

Continue to get behind this coach, give him your support!

I'm all happy and everything, but these happy threads are really wearing me down.

Can we just be critical again? That's our role, right?

I was pleased from the first press conference. I could tell he was, at the very least, a man of integrity. That was something I sorely missed..... I think the type of players we really need to build this program... guys that want to be VOLS... will respond to this type of coach. It is all great to have the players who are just looking to step into the NFL, but they are not the type of players you build depth with. Lean too heavily on those types and you are going to have some great years along with some really lean years.

Agreed!

Watching Kiffin was like eating too much candy. You loved it at first, then you had the worst stomach ache ever. I feel as though we have found the next Bobby Bowden or Frank Beamer. The key is patience. It will be a rocky road at first, 2 even 3 years, but then LOOK THE HELL OUT sec. Dooley will be a legend before it is said and done with and I don't mean Vince.

I support him as much as the next guy, but could we refrain from comparing the guy to Bobby Bowden? He hasn't even coached a game at UT yet.

You can see the difference in the type of guys Dooley will attract vs. the type of X would bring along by looking at Ambles' and Rogers' twitter pages. Ambles: misspelled his own team's name, the famous "bone to bone," etc. Rogers: responded to individual posts from fans, Dawg and Vol alike, with class and humility.

GBO!

I think the Bowden comparison will ring true. Lofty? Yes. I honestly think this though. Dooley will be looked upon as one of the great coaches of all time. I just have a feeling about him. I know that is cliche, but watch and see.
