Call Ray Lewis and give him an offer he can't resist! No person alive other than #16 could recruit and motivate like him. Go off the board! Ray Lewis would fix this defense from a scheme and recruiting standpoint very quickly!

Ryan I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you here. I think given the empty seats that are becoming more and more at each game, the complete and total meltdown in every media associated with UT, and even former players coming out and calling for change, I think Mr. Hart needs to come out and acknowledge something. I don't seewhat there could possibly be for him to evaluate. Even the most possitive of Dooly supporters are now saying the time has come. Any one with a clue (not named Dooly) watched that game and spent alot of their time scratching their heads.
This is just my opinion, but imo I'm not sure how facts aren't pretty supportive of this line of thinking.

No way. As much as you are dying for some information, our AD will not come out and publicly comment on Dooley's job status. He's either going to get outright fired in mid season or at the end of the last game.

Dooley will get 1 more year simply because there is no candidate out there right now that will come . Gruden is a pipe dream, Smart has no head coaching experience , Strong will likely be locked up Louisville , Patterson will go to Arkansas and Tuberville no thank you .
Hart will make a change with Sunseri , Dooley will stay . We simply have no speed and that is something you either have or you don't.

Dooley won't be our head coach next year. Book it.

Fire everybody. And by everybody, I mean if it moves fire it.

Sorry, RTTT, but firing Sam Pittman after the job he's done with our offensive line isn't the right thing to do, if he'll stay. And I think Jay Graham has done nothing this year to show that he can't be an outstanding recruiter and a very good RB coach for us for years to come. On the defensive side, all gone............special teams, all gone.......head coach, all gone...........Hinshaw, hmmmm, I could go either way, receivers have been pretty good this year and he is our point man for many key recruits. Just my opinion...............

I don't care what the prevailing wisdom might be. You never play for overtime when you have a defense that couldn't hold water behind Norris Dam. You go for the win.
Let's see who gets to run the asylum next.

^Agree 100%

WTH? Who gives a rat's about your "tough loss"? Think you may be on the wrong thread or something? No matter, there will not be too much sympathy for one loss nor will the "take it" comment win you too many warm fuzzies.
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

I wanted Dooley to make it, but allowing the clock to run out without taking a shot downfield told me that he isn't sold out on winning. I think this is the final nail in the coffin.
Its not a stupid question until you ask it.

Yea Ok ! Are you Dave Hart ? Then you have no clue who will be coach next year, however Hart has made comments repeatedly that there are a lot of administrative things that he has to get to cleared up prior to making any coaching changes and the fact the fact that we are cash strapped due to the new athletic complex, attendance being down and the economy couple that with a 5 million buy out and yea pretty good chance he will be back . Hart is no fool , he's going to dot every I and cross every T then make his move .

I have to admit proudly that I was for Coach Dooley to succeed-------before letting over 25 seconds tick off the clock without trying. I believe he let the team down by not believing that they could win at the end of regulation. So so disappointed. I can not believe what I was watching, nor could some of the team. I could see some of the team show disbelief.

You aren't AD either there hoss and why do you think attendance is low? The Townsend Fall Festival and the pumpkin patch at Mayfield Farm really that good?
Dooley is out. The only support he has right now is his wife, kids and every team we face.
After that game, I bet the boosters are ringing up Hart and reaching into their checkbooks.

Wes, Ryan, has there been any talk about trying to put together an alumni "dream team" for the next staff? For me a dream staff would have guys like: David Cutcliffe, Jon Chavis, Tee Martin, Jay Graham, and Dale Jones. Has there been any consideration to something along those lines?
