  • The New Recruiting Strategy

    Coach Dooley and staff are hard at work on finishing the 2010 class inside the top 15 (and that is not meant to be a slight whatsoever). Justin Hunter’s commitment Tuesday (WR, 6’4, 172, 4.4) is a very good pickup by Dooley. For all practical purposes Markeith Ambles appears to be gone, perhaps a silent to…

  • Tennessee Coaching Search: So who were the candidates really?

    Derek Dooley is now entering his second full day at Tennessee. Friday night was obviously a whirlwind and I’m certain Saturday was more of the same. We now know that three more coaches are gone from the previous staff (Kippy Brown, James Cregg, and David Reaves). As I type this, it’s likely that phone calls…
