I believe we are at the fork in the road and need to take it. I think it was Swain that tweeted last night that the answer lives in Maryville and we need to go get him in a limo. His former players seem behind this move and several boosters do as well. This time next week I hope he's "working like heck for Tennessee." Just think we'd get a Hall of Fame coach with a helluva w/l record, SEC championships, an NCAA championship, a boat load of players in the NFL, backed completely by Peyton Manning. This candidate is completely loyal to UT and would never tarnish our reputation. What else are we looking for?

I do see a little more motivation in the ole coach these days. Maybe the energy is back. He definitely lost the edge he Had in the roaring 90's. If it can happen in Kansas,could it possibly happen in Knoxville. You know what scares me the most? Regardless of who comes ,the vols are still rebuilding. It's going to take 3 to 4 yrs to do this. Probably 4 yrs is the real time frame. How will those Vols fans who don't wear big boy pants react? How will they treat a hall of fame coach then. I think I know and its kinda sad. But it's the world we live now...instant gratification .. Maybe it's best we don't hire him back.

The situation we are in right now is one of the big reasons I was a Dooley supporter. (until the Vandy game at least) The big question before Dooley was fired was, "who's can UT get that is better?" IMO we should have had a coach (or 2 or 3) lined up and ready to go before we let Dooley go.
Dooley (before Missouri and Vandy) had only lost to very good SEC teams. It also looked like the main problem was with the new 3-4 defense (which IMO needed another year or two to mature). Also, the offense was better than it has been for many years.
The problem now is that UT may not be in a better situation than it was and may very well be in a worse situation. The result is a $5 million golden parachute for Dooley, robbing academics of $15 million & massive payouts for the assistants in an already difficult financial situtation. All to start over with a guy who may not be any better than Dooley. Now we have to give a new guy another 3 year to get his recruits in and see if he can beat the SEC teams that are consistantly in the top 10. I'm generally optimistic in nature, but I just don't see this situation getting better for many years.
It looks like to get anyone who isn't a "diamond in the rough," UT is going to have to offer a record breaking contract which would make the new coach by far the highest paid coach in the nation. (assuming that UT even has that ability) (assuming that there is anyone even worthy of a record breaking contract)

WHY 4 years??? Where in the hell else does it take 4 years? Why does it have to take four years? What exactly are you basing this reasoning on. TN has deep talent on both sides of the line and experience and don't tell me they need time cause other coaches are having early success.. I mean holy heck Vandy is 8-4 after 2 years under Franklin!

SPOT ON. Tennessee fans will have to accept 2013 will be tough, no matter who's wearing the headset on Saturdays: Away to Oregon and Florida in weeks 3 and 4 and a SEC gauntlet from Oct. 5 - Nov. 30.
If Petrino, Tuberville, Jones or any other candidate comes to Knoxville and goes 4-8 next season, will the sky be falling then, too?
