Why don't we ask Arkansas or Louisville if the winning for a few years was worth it? I'd say not. And making Temple "mediocre" is quite an accomplishment I might add. Dooley never won anywhere, including UT, and likely never will. Al Golden has won everywhere he's been and in much tougher situations that ours, Temple and probation-loving Miami. He is absolutely an upgrade over Dooley and strictly speaking, he's proven more in the college game than Gruden, everybody's anointed savior. Some want an unproven NFL guy (Gruden), some want a guy with a NC trophy (Stoops), nobody wants a coordinator, and most think a winner from a mid-major is "settling" for less than we deserve. The first two aren't happening so who's left? Only guys that are sitting pretty where they are, ie... Patterson, Fisher, Peterson, etc... So, we're back to Golden, Fedora, Jones, or a mid-major guy. It's just the way it is. To assume that only the few "dream" hires on our lists could win big at UT is not only ignorant, it's arrogant as well. There are fifty coaches out there that could win here, including Golden, and we'll just have to trust Hart to find the right one. Go Vols!!!
