Derek Dooley admits it’s “understandable” why some think his Tennessee football program has a “perception” problem. But the Vols' coach doesn’t buy it.

Excellent read Wes! I can't wait to for the new coaches to be named and to see the improvement the team has made when spring practice rolls around.

Dooley has always met or exceeded my expectations in finding great coaches for his staff. Although I was nervous after Sirmon and Wilcox left, I'm going to sit back and trust my coach to make the right hires. Go Vols!!!

As long as the new D.C is not from the west coast. We can't seem to hold on to anyone that's from the west coast.

Agreed, we need some stability for a change. Hopefully it will be someone who wants to stick around.

While I am glad my fellow Vol fans seem to be feeling better I am becoming increasingly concerned. I have been a big supporter of Dooley since he got here but the ship has got to get right. This hire needs to be made. I also dont agree with him not being concerned with perception. As a Vol fan financially and with several friends throughout the TN program I believe that is part of his job... To present TN in the best possible light.
SO GET THE DANG JOB DONE AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!!!
IT AINT ILLEGAL!!??!!??
