Alabama red neck. Just part of the worst fan base in the country. This is what happens when all you've ever had is Alabama football.
What's up with Gordon? Loved watching him play.
Just please tell me Majors didnt say the same thing about Dooley.
Yes!!! So excited about next year. Loaded in hoops and new (much needed) energy in football!
Great News!!!!
This is NOT about the money! TN would have countered. Jay did not want to be here under the current situation- i.e. his relationship with the new staff. Doesn't mean Butch is in the wrong. Doesn't mean Jay is in the wrong. Regardless, sends a terrible message to the TN fan base looking to get excited about football again.
So glad he's gone. Should have happened last year. Hopefully we don't currently have Dooley 2.0.
in response to davemanthevolfan: What's going to be funny is one of these days Dooley becomes one of the best coaches in the nation and rolls into k-town and beats the hell out of the vols.

Are you high?
Bottom 3? We're not that bad! NCAA tourney bound? No.
in response to thevoice: I know you don't like the Jones selection, but please disclose the alternative.

he may be the next best thing. i personally like his style, and i'm behind him. but our a.d. seemed unprepared for the search as auburn, ky, ark all had coaches before we did. is that the ultimate factor in wins or loses- no. but it took foley 3 days to hire muschamp, which tells me- he knew who he wanted and was prepared. that would help instill confidence in a fan base.
Jones better not ever lose to vandy. Not in recruiting and not on the field. And that includes THIS year!
It's a shame hoops is so disappointing this year. Was hoping for better. Martin not showing much. As far as butch- hoping for the best, but don't see him ever being an sec or national champion. Hope I'm wrong
Hope this staff can adapt to the SEC. The Mac is one thing- the sec is a bit different.Like most Vol fans- I'm routing for the new crew, but been burned 'hoping'
Dave Hart is a joke!!!! This is beyond a train wreck!
in response to redskinvol1: HART HAS FAILED!!THIS WOULD BE A BOTTOM OF THE BARREL HIRE!!THREE YEARS AND BACK TO ANOTHER COACHING SEARCH!!!WHAT A WASTE OF THREE YEARS!!TRESSEL 2015!!

Amen, brother.
If this article is true, it's time to make immediate plans for harts removal. It's clear he wasn't prepared for a search everyone knew was inevitable a year ago. Butch jones is pathetic! Hart and cheek are a joke.
Great! Lets hire the one guy the loser Dooley beat! Hart- you're doing a great job! Expect ad revenue the skyrocket.
Lets hope gvx is clueless. So much for the home run hire. So much for Hart 'having his man' weeks ago. 8-4/9-3 here we come!
Gundy? Really? If this is accurate Dave hart is a joke. Gundy goes 7-5 in the sec. If our ad can't see that, he's a clown
Well, this sucks. But at least we know something FOR SURE- these message board/thread writing/radio show call-ins are completely clueless and their 'in-the-know' comments are idiotic.
He should go. Next question. This has been determined weeks ago. To say otherwise is dumb.Let's just hope Hart has had his guy for weeks. If he's about to start the process of a coaching search he hasn't been doing his job.
It's over. It's been over. The staff knows it. It will be a miracle if we win 6, which would be great to have a new coach coach a bowl game. Sal is reprentative of where this staff was last year. You don't have 7/9 assistants leave a team when so many of the players are returning unless you know what the fans now know about Dooley.
Very optimistic about this year. Loved the way they played last year, and think CM has us going places
Guys- anyone who has witnessed the Dooley era knew this was coming. There is light at the end of the tunnel. We all know we'll have a new coach in early Dec. Hopefully we'll get the right guy.
in response to fasteddief2010: Well, I have said it before and I'll say it again....more turnover in the coaching ranks is not the answer. I say give him another year to improve even further (lets face it with the D change this year, it is about what I expected and the offense is playing pretty well against really good football teams). Now we might need a wholesale change after this year, if we lose Bray, Hunter and Patterson to the draft. But I believe that one more year is warranted...unless we lose to Vandy and/or UK...then its bye bye Derek...enjoy your 5 Million!

Please don't ever try to get a job in the AD. You're attitude perpetuates mediocrity. Dooley never wins! He has never won! It is not a debate! It's year 3. He's 0-3 in conference. Besides- 7/9 coaches left in the off-season. We've already had turnover.
in response to thevoice: Time to move forward pal. Nothing is accomplished by pointing fingers and looking at the past, unless something can be learned. Same applies to Fulmer.

The fulmer lesson is this: don't hang onto a coach for 17 years who hadn't won the sec in almost a decade. Don't hang unto a coach who was clearly being left behind by the rest of the league, and dying a slow death.
in response to GloryDays: I believe the die has been cast. Hart is currently calling and talking behind the scenes, getting things lined up. Dooley will be fired on Monday November 26 and Hart will have a new coach announced 2 weeks later on December 10. That will give him 2 months to recruit and keep some of Dooley's recruits.

I agree
Isn't the lesson of Alabama simple? Hire the right guy. Dooley is clearly not that guy. Hopefully Hart knows who wants and the process to get him is under way.
Ok, here's the good news vol fans. We now are guaranteed a new coach, and there's light at the end of tunnel. This year will get worse but we can at least look forward to that. Now it's only about who's next. Lets hope Hart is way ahead of us (which I believe he is, because he had to know this was coming) and he knows exactly who to get.
Pcshowtime- of course you're right. And I don't care what he inherited- 0-3 against FL should never be tolerated.
