You think Hart is dumb?

I think he was fully aware that another loss would make even more money swing in his favor to hire a new coach. Hart's decision was made after the Mississippi St. game and now he timed it perfect.

If he loses a chance at Gary Patterson and ends up hiring a worse coach because he waited, then yes, I think he's an idiot.

Hart's decision was made today. The season was going to play out regardless, with Hart making a decision based on the totality of everything involved. A loss down the stretch would be a dagger and everybody knew it. Truthfully, I think Hart, deep down, feels a sense of relief, considering all the things going on in the ath dept right now.

Just hope we do the search the right way and our program gets a deserved freaking break with the next coach.

This is why i think the AD has been silent and have thought that all along. I think Dooley has been "fired" for some time now. I mean Dooley's attitude has been more and more lax in the past weeks to the point of "i'm canned anyway so what?" I just don't think he's going to make a move on Dooley until he actually has someone lined up and someone that will wow everyone. I'd even bet even if it meant Dooley staying on for another year. Yes almost guaranteed we'd suck worse, but to be honest I'd rather get a good one then just another 2 year lay over....

This team has no chance to get to 6 wins with Dooley. I have been less of a Dooley supporter over the last couple of weeks, but now I'm firmly planted on the "FIRE DOOLEY" bandwagon. He has to go.. NOW!!

If you don't think we have even a shred of a chance of beating Vandy and Kentucky, your head is screwed on wrong.

i still don't think he does it, unless he has a homerun hire lined up
if he announces it, he's opened the floodgates to daily inquistions to Dooley's replacement

If he doesn't have his plan in place by now then he needs to go too... If he was waiting on Dooley to win 4 straight he needs to go..

I don't think he's dumb at all. I really think he's hamstrung by budget issues and an administration that simply does not value athletics like it once did.

Vandy will tear us a new one.

No they won't. They've lost to the teams they're supposed to lose to and been whipped more than once. Curbstomping Kentucky doesn't make them good, it just means they were the 8th team this year to curbstomp Kentucky.

I have a question. I'm not trying to start up anything or "stir the pot." What are the benefits of our AD staying quiet about CDD's job status? From what I have read on here our recruiting is not where it needs to be and it appears other attractive SEC schools will be looking for a coach as well. Somebody educate me on why the AD wouldn't issue a statement of support or lack thereof and pull the plug. I will hang up and listen. Oh and as you can tell I'm no "insider" just a guy that loves UT.

I have been asking the same question ever since the losing began, "Why does Hart not make a statement in support of Dooley and the football team... or announce Dooley's resignation?" I agree with you, the longer Hart waits to announce either way... the worse it is on the team, Dooley and his family, and the fan base.

Kentucky, maybe (remember last year?) Vandy, well, they did beat the team that beat us today and we do play at Vandy. So, yes, I'll stick to my statement that we will not get 6 wins this year.

For the first time I agree with you.

Yeah. I remember last year. Nobody will forget it. Unlike last year, we know how to score some points. Kentucky is worse now than they were last November and we are healthier than we were last year. The Kentucky game is going to be a bloodbath. I just have a hard time believeing we lose to Vandy. That's always a team we manage to beat no matter how bad we are (minus 2005). We're going up against two beatable teams, meaning we still have a shot at the postseason. When you're in that spot, it's dangerous to come out and fire the coach. that's when you start losing stupid games in stupid ways.

Easy to say that now. But it wouldn't of been right imo to of fired him last year.

I wouldn't have liked it if Dooley was fired last year. But it would have been perfectly reasonable to do so. I mean he lost to Kentucky.It was a terrible Kentucky team. Not even a decent Kentucky team. They had a WR at QB. He let his staff make stupid calls like wildcat on goalline. I know Bray had a hurt thumb, so what put in Simms or Worley. They could have pulled that off. They couldn't throw and it wasn't till the 3rd quarter that we started to finally load the box every play. That was the worst coached game I have ever witnessed. Nothing this year has came remotely close to that pile of suckage that we saw last year. So it would have been right to have fired him. I like many others wanted to see him coach another year and see what he's got...It aint s***.

I agree we can win the 2 remaining games, however I actually think we have a better shot of that happening if Dooley is not there. This is not a shot at his coaching, which is bad, but if you watch the demeanor on the sidelines of the players I feel they have lost all confidence in him. We may actually respond and play better if he is let go now.
