"Golden to UT."

If this is true, then I'm done giving money to UT athletics. Al Golden is a more experienced version of Derek Dooley. You can pretty much disregard anything that he has done at Miami and just look at his time with Temple. He made Temple mediocre instead of horrible...whoopty poop. We might as well have kept Dooley if all we're going to get is Dooley 2.0.

I mean, Bobby Petrino will come in and he will win. That's all he's done at other programs. He's a better Xs and Os coach than any other SEC head coach. He will win with our guys. Maybe he's gone in 3 or 4 years, but that will be a good 3 or 4 years. Al Golden will spend the next 8 years turning UT into a rich man's Miss State. I thought we wanted more for this program.

Waking up to find Golden is our coach would be the equivalent of getting a new Blackberry for Christmas.

Several differences between Dooley and Golden. Dooley has never won anywhere, everything he has was given to him by his daddy. Golden took a terrible Temple team and won 8-9 games. Miami is on probation and a mess, no fan base, poor administration. Golden is a good recruiter, good coach, can slap donors on the back and kiss babies. He looks young and distinguished, competitive, and wants to make more money and win. This is a destination stop for him. He needs good assistants and a break or two and he will get the Vols back on track. Winning 10 games may not happen next year but there will be some signature wins and something we hadn't seen in 3 years, "improvement". Give him a chance and Get on the band wagon.
