Let's hope that is the case.

You can judge he was a head coach at a good school and I watched them beat tennessee isiah pead made us look stupid and I said it is a totally different con. bud he is a way better recruiter also when you throw all that together man dooley was just thrown in there I swear they didn't think that decision over very well at picking dooley butch jones will make tennessee slowly climb his way up the sec and not make a joke out of tennessee losing to teams like vandy and start winning in the second half I have never heard of anything like that how do you out play teams every first half then come out and act like you just woke up from a nap I blame that on the head coach for not having his team change his games schemes for the other team and not his players fired up smh

SMFH your delusional bro he has proven it what had dooley proved and how is he supposed to when he just lost his offensive starters give him a year to get some players in and start working them into the system their year to do something some what special was last year then you lose your veteran receivers and quarterback and some defensive guys I mean come on your going to base dooley which had four years to do something from a coach just walking into a program having his off. Firepower gone which I think tyler bray was a coaches pet under dooley which has no discipline to his players, your going to go right off saying if he doesn't get as many wins as dooley this year then he was a bad pick for tennessee idk how long you followed football for buttt this makes no since to me

My bad man I knew isiah pead ran all over us that is all I remember from that game was him getting like ten+ yards per carry every time he touched the ball it seemed like

That is true I stopped watching them I went to watch them play alabama just hoping for a miracle lol but I had to with so much I didn't get to follow them to close

You don't take a knife to a gunfight, but that is what the VOls have been doing the past few years. Without more hard nose gunslingers, the Big Orange is doomed to the bottom half of the SEC until CBJ can intensify the recruiting fires and convince more 4 and 5 star players that UT needs their talents more that Bammer and the Dawgs. If a football player has enough potential to one day make the NFL, he needs to play and develop early on. HE can certainly do that at present with the Vols and not have to warm the bench with all the other 4 stars at
"Tater U" , "Dawg state", and "Gator tech". It will take 2-3 years of good recruiting, but I feel like Coach J is the man for the job. It is still a mystery to me how we ever got stuck with Kiffin and Doolittle. That dubious duo set the football program back 5-10 years because while the VOls were wallowing in the coaching wars, there were 5-6 SEC teams that we regularly play who were in the top 10 in the country. There again you can't win a gunfight with a knife---a slow and dull one at that!

I would like to comment that Dooley had superior talent when he beat Jones. He had Rogers, Hunter, Bray, and Rivera let alone all the other people on offense. Any coach besides Saban only dreams about having that talent on that side of the ball. So was jones out coached in that game? I don't think so I think it was just to much talent finally made the dam break on his defense and offense cannot keep up. Their were offenses in the SEC that couldn't keep up even with how bad our defense was this year. Our offense the past two years was "special" when it was clicking.

I have to admit that I am very impressed with CBJ mentality on the recruiting trail. I think we will see the pay-off next year.
