Instead, many here and in other UT circles, feel the best he can do is win may 10 games in his third year at UT, but never any more than that.

Yep, a 10 win season would be tough to take???? CDD will do a fine job

Because his track record as a head coach indicates he's mediocre at beset?

His track record occurred at a school that had squat for resources, plus he was the AD. In Saban's first few years at Michigan State, he didn't do very much at all. He did upset Ohio State, who was #1 at the time, in 1998, but still finished 6-6 that year. I think you guys are just going to sell Dooley short any chance you get.

why compare Saban, and one year, when Dooley had 3 as a Head Coach

So what? He was competing against the likes of Idaho and other garbage. It isn't like he took LA Tech squads into the SEC.

Michigan State, like La Tech, is a second tier program in their own state. The difference is that Michigan State played in a conference where teams could actually compete for and win the national title.

Why?? So we can possibly hire someone that could have the same records for the same yearly span?? Sorry man, but I feel like that's the worst type of outlook to have.

He could possibly have the same records. He could also probably be better. That's the difference. 8-4 is worthless, always. But I'd rather go 4-8, 4-8, 4-8, 7-5, 12-0, than 8-4, 8-4, 8-4, 8-4, 8-4.

1. We lost to freaking Wyoming AT HOME two years ago, so again, what's your point?? That was with a coach that has a better winning percentage than anyone we have had as a coach in a LONG time.

2. Saban was apparently a good enough coach to get his team to beat the #1 team in the nation in 1998 with that same second tier program.

Like I said, you guys keep selling him short, I LOVE IT. Just means that IF he doesn't do well, you'll be the first to start *****ing about how bad a a hire he was and call Mike Hamilton out for no reason.

And we ran that coach off for being such a loser.

Exactly. That's one of the reason's Saban was actually a good hire.

That's what people said when Fulmer was the coach.

I think it was 5. The difference is he turned them into a 9-2 team in a major conference while being a second class program in his own state. Dooley got passed up by Idaho in his conference.

He was also the AD, and wasn't FULLY focused on football. He did well given the hand he was dealt.

Fulmer has 17 years under his belt before he was fired. It's not liked he sucked from the get go, like some of you guys think Dooley will. I REALLY hope that we do well, so that way some of you guy will change your tune. If your hoping we lose to fire someone you don't agree with hiring from the get go, then I'm sorry, but that's the worst kind of attitude to have.
