Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi

Great Quote! Which is exactly why we must allow the coaches to build the winning tradition back to our decade of dominance level and then sustain it. Remember, new coach doesn't equal new players for at least 2 years. Most freshman do not impact a program immediately.

Make a positive thread and see how long it takes to turn into a fire DD thread.

There is actually a remedy to fix this ... actually two ... either they fire Dooley or he actually start winning games. That is actually winning games against quality opponents, not against losing teams or lower conferences. I know we all slammed Kiffin for leaving, but I have to admit that he did more with less than what Dooley has.

I took a break from this site for about 2 weeks. Tired of reading the same ole crap about Dooley can't coach, Bray is an immature 2nd tier quarter back, Hunter has cashed the season in, Sal is a horrible defensive cord., etc., etc.

I come back today and it is just more of the same. I have bashed Dooley some through disappointment in wins and loses. But as I have reflected on the status of the program, Maybe Dooley hasn't done that bad.

His first year the program had no depth and tons of NCAA scrutiny. Most of the Kiffin recruits left or were bad seeds and removed. He has Good depth now and really no major player infractions since he took over.

His second year was plagued with injuries. This allowed allot of underclassmen to gain some experience and helped create depth. Unfortunately key injuries to key players resulted in poor wins and loses.

This is his third year. Depth is better. Offense is scoring and the line is improving on their run blocking. Lets face it. All we had for 2 years was a passing game. So the change and need for a running game takes time. Running backs are starting to become a part of the game. Passing game has been there and it is a little disappointing that the timing with Bray and receivers seems off at times but overall the numbers have been good. Now to defense...it is a new system. And with any new system you have to get the right players. Sal will get this done through recruiting. He has had 1 year. Allow the program to build depth at all positions and allow there to become the continuity Tennessee had with Fulmer, Chavis and Cutcliff. I say keep Dooley. We can't keep firing coaches every 3 years. There isn't a ton of Nick Saben type coaches out there. Let these guys build the program. GO VOLS, GO BIG ORANGE! AND CHANGE THE FREAKING TOPICS ON THIS BOARD!

So your crying about the cry babies.

Well, seeing as how Vols fans view themselves are football Gurus, I just expect more. We have the best fans in the SEC. We should act like we are above the mindless babble and name calling.

Your thread wasn't positive...at least it wasn't interpreted that way.
It was simply to show disappointment in our fan base and put a positive spin on the last 3 years. Losing sucks. But rebuilding takes time in a microwave kinda world.

OP's post was no dumber than any of the Gruden threads (most of those lack any thought whatsoever). Honestly, we Vols fans will believe anything yet trash someone as dumb for posting their own opinions.
