Dooley, UT fans chat culture change

  • AGREE!!! I have never understood fans critizing the team, individual players and coaches during critical recruiting periods. You think most fans do not know prospects see and are better users of the social media than most of us? Thank goodness there is a 2-1 or better positive to the negative comments.

  • AMEN brother Ster, AMEN!! All the Monday Morning QB's calling for Dooley's head have absolutley no clue! Has CDD been perfect in everthing he's done over past couple yrs...NO. But, he's adapting and trying to build the program the right way. There will be more difficult days ahead, but the fanbase needs to get behind these kids & coaching staff.

    I agree 100% with you. We must support CDD completely for at least a 4 to 6 year time frame. Rebulding and recruiting in the SEC is probably the most difficult task in all of the college sporting world. All of you "headhunters'' take note. If CDD goes, the program will go back to square 1 at the bottom for another unknown extended period. Bama went through the same thing when they had multiple coaching changes several years ago. Some of my best memories of Tennessee 4th quarter come from behinds are when the Vols beat UCLA in 1965 in Memphis and in 1970 beat UCLA again in Knoxville when Curt Watson ground out yards in the final minutes for the winning score. Also the come from behind in 1991 to beat Notre Dame was priceless.That dates me as a senior citizen, but I hope my children and grandchildren will be able to have game experiences like these in the future with the Vol football program.

    On this board, yes, the positive people greatly outnumber the Negative Nancys. But out there on TOS where the pond scum congregates, the negs are louder than ever. Their read on the UGA game? We lost. Fire him.

    Lord give us strength.

  • I agree with you completely. I'm actually not sure that the free govolsxtra site is not completely infiltrated with trolls from other teams disguised as Vol fans just trying to poke the bear. I'm pretty sure on 247 we get an actual Tennessee fan base simply because the trolls and antagonizers aren't willing to pay the "big bucks" to irritate the Tennessee fan base.

    Let's hope that these recruits are smart enough to make an informed decision based on facts and not an internet message board.
