The CheckerBoard

I don't think you can pin much of it on Hinshaw. I'm pretty sure without him we wouldn't have landed CP84 last year. And I'm not sure if he recruited all of them, but think about how awesome our class was in regards to WRs. He had to have had a hand in that. On top of that, I think he's done a fine job coaching. If there's one position we played well at it was WR. So I wouldn't mind if he were retained at all.

As Ive said before, when we talk about staff, trust in Jones. We have no other choice, nor should we. Folks, this staff, meaniong Dooley's, had their chance. They failed. All of them. So, given staff development of Jones, he should have the freedom to determine who is worthy and who isn't. We all have out thoughts on what staff shoudl be retained, but tying the hands of Jones to certain staff only makes accountability that much more difficult.

Dooley was the Head Coach. He gets final decision. I am not a recruiting expert, but I do understand chain of command so until proven otherwise unfortunately for Dooley he is at fault.

UT's problems go a good bit further back than Dooley. Bad hires and a coaching attrition problem leads to bad recruiting and NCAA problems dont help. I am a believer that Dooley is a solid coach. Maybe not SEC caliber but all the problems going on right now dont rest squarly on DD. id say 70% of the issues were already there before he got there. He didnt do much to fix them but its not entirely his fault.
