Apparently a lot of people low on the totem pole in the Tennessee athletic department (secretaries, equipment managers,etc) would disagree with you.

Fair enough.

All the more reason not to hire him.

No to Dooley. If he couldn't win with the infrastructure and resources at Tennessee then what makes you think he can win here?

We should go the young and hungry route. Look at what Coach Bro is doing at Tech. He hired a bunch of young and motivated coaches who are bringing innovative concepts and relentless recruiting to the program. They are all over social media and engaging with what the kids of today want to see and hear. They play an exciting brand of football and have already made major inroads with regards to recruiting. I think a program like ours should follow their lead. We need charisma and energy especially after the funeral-like personality of June.

But I still don't know why Tennessee hired him, and I don't see him being a successful HC.

I hear he's a good guy. Good for the Locker Room.

(those who read the Basketball thread will get this one...)

If he could hire a staff that was top notch that would be fine.

I would not hire DD as HC.

Dooley wouldn't be my first choice either,
but his old house in Tenn had an smu look

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Our AD's dad did not hire Dooley. Nor did Kiffin screw Dave Hart.

Dave Hart was not at Tennessee at that time.

This misinformation has been on these boards for a while and it is time to correct it

My Bad. Dooley was indeed hired by Mike Hamilton.

With that said - I wonder what Phillip Fulmer is up to these days...

College Football Hall of Famer

1 National Championship

Rumored for the Louisville job (he was interested) and the UConn job.

From Louisiana

152-52 record

Tons of NFLers from his years at TN.

THAT would be a splash hire similar to LB.

He is three years older than JJ - but then LB is older too...

Beat Temple.

Why do you think he sold his house? Just curios Corso.

Maybe FOR SALE signs kept showing up in his yard, and someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse

Sounds like a rumor someone started up here last Monday.

Yeah, like former Marshall HS and Texas A&M standout - who also coached in Texas at A&M, TCU and MacArthur High School in Irving --- Phil Bennett

You can't go wrong with those good ol' Texas ties

I know you mostly act like a smart alec but are you suggesting that we should not get a coach with Texas ties?

Nope, he actually sold his house this past June.
