No. Just because I don't see a whole lot of improvement next year an we'll be having this same discussion.

You have to look at the candidates that will replace him.

- Will Gruden boost the middle class (fan base)?

- Will Gundy get our economy (ticket sales) moving again?

- Will Petersen boost our national defense and defeat our enemies (recruiting and Bama/Florida games)?

You have to be an educated voter. And all of these important questions have me voting for change.

Dooley's done in 2012.

No

Yes. I'd like to see him get one more year to see if he can get "over the hump"

Is it your opinion that says more about the frustration with and perception of Dooley's coaching and leadership ability or reasonableness of the people voting no?

Good question. I think it is the former. But to me a vote for no is basically saying anyone that we could reasonably hire is an upgrade over Dooley and a benefit for our program, and I don't believe that. Look at Chizik, or how long it took ND to find a coach, this isn't easy.

No. And its not even close.

I understand your disagreement, but consider that the individuals casting no votes may no longer have faith that Dooley can build a championship program or move the program forward if given another year- so why keep him, and they may also believe that there are available coaches out there who are better qualified than Dooley to coach the University of Tennessee. Can't you disagree with their vote and at the same time acknowledge that their basis is reasonable?

If you keep Dooley, you have to keep Sunseri as well. Can't keep Dooley and get rid of Sal. You're asking for more problems by changing defensive system yet again.

I am sorry for being unclear, I don't think it is unreasonable at all.
