in response to wildmed:

Benchmarks of the last 2.75 seasons: first back-to-back losing seasons since WWI; only team other than Vanderbilt to start three seasons 0-5 in SEC play; 721 yards and 48 points to Troy, for God's sake; 4-17 and counting in SEC play; 0-for against ranked teams. None of this is speculation or opinion, just cold, hard facts. Another year or two of Dooley? Could we go lower? Possibly, but at this point the fans have shown by the empty seats in Neyland that they no longer support this regime.

Three head coaches in three years. The last coach walked out with no notice. 57 kids on scholly. Nine kids recruited by Kiffin who signed to play for Kiffin already on campus as early entries. Hired two weeks before LOI NSD. Few coaches left from predecessor. A complete rebuild of the program is required ... a 5-6 year project. A rabid fan base that will be demanding wins within the second year.

That's what Coach Dooley started with. Facts, cold hard facts.
