AT least Joker is at a historically bad football program and has been part of making it better as an oc and he beat usc and ut as well as louisville and vandy as a head coach. he just has the normal depleted uk roster. totally different!!
He just coached the team through the first stretch of 3 consecutive losing seasons on the hill in over 100 years. The real question is why should we want him there?
Does Dooley really deserve a ceremonial last game? It would sure be thrilling to watch him be carried off the field on the shoulders of his players after a 17-7 win over Kentucky.

More than anything this is the most likely reason. Too many people choose to ignore and discard what Dooley did for the program in terms of its public image (University of Thugs) and even getting moderate talent to come into a program many recruits perceived as a career killer.
I was a supporter and well-wisher of CDD. I still wish him well. But even one such as I after the VU game has to admit it is time to part ways. Hopefully, Vols fans can agree to that without the spite, venom, and hate. If not it just shows we don't deserve any kind of coach, DD or otherwise.
