The CheckerBoard

Rod, I disagree, but that's because I think that Dooley came into a bad situation. Its not because, I think he's going to turn it around. He may just be snake bitten. I'm not really sure what's going to happen in two years. Does anyone know the length of his contract? I think he deserves the length of his contract.

Dooley won't be fired next year just for not winning the East. He is recruiting well. We are making progress; it's just hard to see it right now with our injuries, lack of depth, strength of schedule. We are headed back to where we need to be but like Peyton said on CBS today, it's going to take time.

WITH ALL THAT TALENT THAT DOOLEY WAS LEFT WITH THE OTHER COACHES RECRUITING CLASSES HOW CAN HE NOT WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT YEAR TOO? IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dooley ought to have at least 2 more years after this one. He inherited a disaster, saved the recruiting class Kiffin walked out on (and then tried to pillage as he left), and had a top 10 recruiting class last year. We don't have the talent to recruit from that some other states do (Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia), which makes his job even harder. I also agree with the earlier post asking who could we get to come to UT to replace Dooley: no one wanted the job after Kiffin left. There aren't many Saban's out there. Ditching Dooley might well mean getting somebody worse. I like Dooley, and hope he can, in time, get us back in the upper tier of the SEC.
