Although I am quite disappointed with our football performance the past few years, I would like to thank coach Dooley for his dedication and endless hours of hard work under very difficult circumstances. I would hope that everyone will allow him and his family to leave with dignity. I know that he has young children and I pray that the Tennessee family will not say anymore awful things that will hurt those children. I'm excited about a new beginning but at the same time I'm saddened that coach Dooley didn't win some games. Coach Dooley, thank you for your integrity and God bless you and your family.

No win situation on the timing. Do it now, and you crush team morale and probably a shot at a bowl. Wait until the season ends and deal with all the speculation and rumor and angst as our recruits drop off like flies. This just blows. Cant believe this is happening. Again.
+1. It may sound negative, but it's also the 100% accurate reality of where we are right now. If someone is telling it like it is, it's really neither negative nor positive, because there's really no spin.
And in less objective news, perhaps the ghost of Gen. Neyland will appear to Jon Gruden in a dream . . .

Absolutely AWESOME post.
You know, there's no questioning Coach Dooley's work ethic or dedication. He clearly improved the talent level, and even for those of us who now support the change that is happening, there is NEVER any call to personally attack a coach, and certainly not his family.
And I know I'm not talking about any members here, but any adult who would say something cruel to a young child about his or her father or mother deserves a special corner in hell for such cowardly behavior, IMO. I'd like to think no UT fan would ever do that, but unfortunately in my 45 years I've seen enough of the worst of people not to count on it.

Iam disappointed and sick of losing. Game management isnt the problem. 3rd and automatic is the problem. They, Dooley and company, got us scoring 36 points avg a game. A running game that hasnt carried us. Dooleys game management gave us 2 shots at winning at Georgia and 3 in 2 minutes at either SC or MS not sure which one, its all a blur. He can manage the game. The defense is the problem and it has killed us this year. Our offense hasnt been that great in years. I am a Dooley fan, because he is a class act and we havent had any embarrassing problems except getting beat. If they are going to let him go wait til the end of the year or give him one last year with these recruits. I guess everybody thought we would win the east with a bunch of 2 and three star recruits.

I feel that I as well as many others have lost another battle. I've been a UT fan for over fifty years. My four years on the Hill are some of my fondest memories. Because of the character and class he brought to us, I feel very empty today. He and his family will survive and he will do well at whatever he choses. My prayers go with him. For me, he gave us his best and did so with honor and dignity. Some of us will miss him. I thank him for the young men and coaches of solid character he brought to our institution. God go with you Coach.

Georgia: I agree. We have to remember several things. Coach Dooley didn't short-arm a single pass, drop a sure TD, or let a 5'10" cornerback take his candy. He didn't shank any punts or miss any PAT's. He didn't miss a single tackle. He wasn't guilty of illegal procedure or unsportsmanlike conduct. Coach didn't fumble a single ball that I can recall. He didn't let a single receiver get behind him for an easy TD. We should all remember this and take the high-road during this mess. Go Vols.

I have been a Coach Dooley supporter, as well. But onje only has to look at his old team LATech to see what his old team has done without him over the same period. TN will have some options. There are some up and coming coaches in the Sun Belt league but suspect the Vol fans would go nuts if another from that league were hired. I continue to say Butch would be a coach TN may consider. He became the fall guy at NCU but is a high quality coach. One point in his favor, he is out of coaching, he is familiar with TN and knows what is expected in their program, a very good recruiter and knows the recruiting areas most desirable to the TN program really well. Cincy coach has done a good job, and there are many others out there that a FB laymen and ordinary fan like me would not know about. The bottom line is this has to be a good hire this time around.
