Copy paste. That's all you do with your stupid garbage. You're obsessed with Dooley and Dave Hart because that's all you can ever talk about. Get off it man. If you like James Franklin so much, we would love for you to be Vandy fan. Do us all a favor garbage pumper, get off this site and never come back! So sick of seeing your stupid name and even catching a glimpse of the stupid words that come out of you. You are a nobody and will never have any say in the athletic dpt, which you so willingly insult everyday. You're a miserable loser who should jump off a bridge. Answer this coward, who would you hire? You never answer so maybe you forget people asked so I will ask again. Who would you hire? Let me guess, you're gonna call me a sunshine pumper and I'm obsessed with Dooley and I'm a sycophant right? What a predictable bum you are

Having attended many games at Lindsey Nelson while in grad school, I truly say, UT has the worse fans in the SEC. Glad they got beat as bad as they did today. Hate USC missed the record of 24 hits against UT in a game.

Written on Juco DT Ben Bradley no longer a Tennessee commitment:

in response to 15_counting:

The problem with BJ is he quits on his recruits before they graduate. 99-01 (OC) at Central Michigan, 05-06 (WR) at West Virginia, 07-09 (HC) at Central Michigan, 2010-12 (HC) at Cinn. Why should a prospect believe he will be at UT any longer? You can believe the other schools are making sure the recruits are aware of his mobil track record. History says he will be gone before they graduate.

Really!! How old are you?

Written on Juco DT Ben Bradley no longer a Tennessee commitment:

in response to ncvol11:

Butch Jones and his staff have done a poor job of retaining the recruits that are of any athletic quality. He is in a different league now and he is finding out fast. The fact that we are all over three star recruits is more than disturbing.
One of the big complaints about Dooley was that we did not compete with other SEC Schools in recruiting the top athletes. Jones never had to build a team and unfortunately he will not with what he is recruiting. He may be able to coach but if you don't have the athletes then you don't win in this conference. Recruiting ranked at 42 or 48 does not get it. Evidently he is not making on big impact on those top athletes.

Yea great post,I cant believe after 2weeks he hasnt gotten five 5* recruits to commit what has he been doing. (sarcasm)

If Charlie Strong will be our head coach, we have fallen very far!
Dos he have a winning record at a major college? No! Has he ever won as head coach in the sec? No! We will win a few games, and he will last four years as Bama,LSU, Florida , USC, and Ga continue to beat us like a drum!

How many games did Will Muschamp win as a coach before he went to Florida?

Mark my words, if true, this is a very bad move.
I really hoped the Vols could do better. I should have known better than to get my hopes up. You would think that after 64 years I would know better. Oh well, it's just football. Jimmy Sexton strikes again.

Its funny some people said the same thing about Nick Saban when he was hired by LSU from Michigan St.

There was plenty of evidence from the start of this year at least that Dooley was an arrogant jerk.

Glenn Ford is right. The people who called BS on all the Dooley worship were excoriated for having a different view than the great unwashed Dooley lovers.

Expect, and be able to deal with, a bunch of well deserved - "We told you so."

Why is that? Gruden doesnt have to come to UT he could go to the NFL now.

Written on Tennessee fires Derek Dooley:

in response to DeltaCharlie3:

Youre in competition with Kentucky and Auburn at the moment for a head coach. Good move by Hart getting out there in the field quickly.

I'd recommend he complete the search VERY quietly as to avoid the public embarrassment of having the first 3, 4, 5 candidates say "no thanks."

That set Dooley back in my opinion, because it was common knowledge he was far from the first choice.

Having said that, I think Bob Stoops is itching to get out of Oklanhoma. I could be wrong, but I think he'd listen.

Where is Oklanhoma?

Written on Mark Wiedmer: UT Vols relish rare joy:

in response to DwayneElizondoMountainDewHerbertCamacho:

Your mentality is the reason that we are a second tier program in the SEC. This "let's just celebrate what we got" attitude is great...but only if UT is auditioning for a hallmark Christmas movie special. If you haven't noticed, our stadium seats over 100,000 people. We're waaay past the "lets just accept" what we are given stage of college athletics.

"Memphis? Wyoming? Chattanooga? Duke?"

This??? This is your counter-argument to those of use screaming at the top of our lungs that we should expect better? That we should look back to 1933 (loss to Duke) as a the standard for Vols football???

Please...stop posting. Some of us live in the modern era and realize that for all of college football's pastoral history, it's a business now and if you want to win, you pay for the best coach. You don't sit around and feign being impressed by saying, "How freaking easy would it be for these guys to lay down at this point, but they didn't." (Btw...this is a common praise/excuse normally used by Vandy fans.)

Saban is out recruiting with a Gruden quote comparing Bama to the NFL and actually using the phrase "pipeline to the NFL" and fans like you are on these message boards saying, "Just think happy thoughts."

It pains me that so many UT fans have just accepted this pathetic mediocrity and will do anything to defend this coach and his "awww shucks" excuses. Call me a troll, but I'm going to speak the truth.

Dooley has never beaten a ranked team.
Dooley hired Sunseri...not Hart.
Dooley is NOT going to win an SEC championship at UT not matter how much time he gets.
Dooley is NOT the answer.

I don't care how Dooley came to be UT's head coach, he needs to be fired.

GREAT POST!!!

Written on Austin Nichols not ready to announce decision :

in response to Vol4EVA:

Here is a novel idea. How about everyone on the radio and in these comment boards quit speculating and commenting as though they know what they are talking about until this young man and his family communicate their decision?

Between the recruiting of Austin and the swirl around Coach Dooley, they need to change the name of Knoxville to Gossipville or Dramatown. Absolutely ridiculous the way some fans act like children or high school kids thriving on rumor and innuendo.

Go Big Orange!....I'll hang up and listen to your comments...

Says the one posting on a message board,You must be reading it your on here lol

Written on David Climer: Derek Dooley should take blame for Vols' lousy defense:

in response to StoneJackBaller:

Never have I had anything bad to say about 1 single player, Mr. Obama. So stop making things up. I will agree I'm hacking CDD to death. I supported him up until the MS State game. Maybe you're just too far away to be a real UT fan out there in the Rocky Mountains. Or maybe the air is too thin...or maybe too much medical marijuana..whatever. Why don't you root for Colorado or Air Force? That's closer to where you live. They're mediocore, so you should be very happy.

Sincerely,

A true life long Vol fan in East Tennessee who wants to win.

Why do people call you a troll just because your tired of losing I dont get it.

Written on David Climer: Derek Dooley should take blame for Vols' lousy defense:

in response to Memphis_VOL_Alum:

While I think Hugh Freeze is doing a great job at Ole Miss, the wins he has against Ark and Auburn this year can't compare to a schedule of Fla, Ala, GA, Miss St. and SC. Heck even Vandy is improved. Ole Miss loses to every one of those teams as we did. Let's see them hang 40 on the GA defense.

I sure want a better product on the field. And I am not saying changes should not be made, but you have to compare apples to apples.

I've said it before and will now say it again. The Admin at UT would be crazy to make a HC and staff change with the buyouts the way they are unless they can hit a HOMERUN of a hire. No one was lining up when coach Dooley took the job, no one is lining up now. If the AD changes for a nobody and we start the rebuilding again, the AD should be fired and sued for breach of managerial duties.

How do you know nobody is lining up for the UT job,Do you talk to Hart everyday,Did you talk to Hamilton too when he was hiring please tell us.

Written on Derek Dooley suspends Omari Phillips indefinitely:

in response to GerryOP:

The posts on this thread point out the basic problem with much of the Vol fan base. A total lack of character and class. One reason that I hope Dooley succeeds at UT is to watch you clowns step all over each other telling everyone how your negativity and insults were really the stimuli that led Dooley to excel ... as you scramble for a seat on the bandwagon.

Thanks for the laugh I needed that hahahaha

in response to nmtitan1:

It's pathetic how 90% of the Tennessee fans are so inept and think that by firing Dooley and destroying the past 3 years and starting all over again is going to have any positive effect at all. MORONS! Everyone seems to think that Tennessee can hire a big name, wrong! All these people think they know more than the Athletic Department and are stupid. They need to go be one of these Bama bandwagon fans and I will proudly root on Dooley and the Vols....everyone else, Shut The Hell Up!

The only moron is you,Only winning 1 SEC game out of his last 12 give me a break.Sorry but I dont like losing so u shut the HELL UP LOSER!!!

Written on Poll: Do you approve of the job Derek Dooley is doing as coach of Tennessee?:

in response to mithomas:

Agreed. Coaching change will set us back 2-3 years. We are close. Sure the defense backfield is giving up big plays and can't tackle but I have to believe that they will get better and next season could be a lot of fun. Between the self inflicting wounds and the breaks that never seem to go our way it is really frustrating.

How do u figure that it will set us back 2 to 3 years look at Michigan,UCLA,Ohio State,TX A@M you can win right away with the right coach.

Written on Tennessee coaches, players still communicating:

The real question is Hart communicating with Dooley.
