in response to CantStandCantStandSaban: Yep, no doubt about it. We are in for a rough ride this fall. Hopefully Butch can do something that Dooley or Kiffin couldn't and that's win a game (or two) that we shouldn't.

IMO there is NO DAMN reason Our VOLS should ever be below 7 wins! Just like Saban told AL after 2007, we will always have a winning record at AL going forward.
Coach Jones is doing great and should put it out there as well!
PLAY HARD VOLS, be mean and nasty again! WE WILL WIN!
GO VOLS, ALWAYS!
in response to Oldhickory: Bruce Pearl will be back as the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers as soon as his show cause penalty expires, and he should be enthusiastically welcomed back by Big Orange fans.

Totally agree BRUUUUUUUCE! GO VOLS! NCAA is A JOKE, they are as corrupt as any school!
in response to budd#207344: You publish these lies under a number of names. But no matter what name you use the result is the same. BS. Once again I will ask you to name one player in the last 20 years that was refused admittance to UT and signed with another SEC team. Now I can name you a player that was denied by Florida and signed by UT, Omari Phillips. So name one or STFU

This is the ONLY Screen Name I have ever had on this site! You are the dumb one! Not one player has signed a NOI with Tennessee and been turned down, not one!
The damn Cheek Rule hurts recruiting because the other Coaches uses it against Tennessee! Tee Martin knows it, Jay Graham knows it! Recruiting is SALES and HARD, Cheek handcuffs OUR VOLS Coaches! Not their fault, Cheek;s fault!
The last 6 years at Tennessee something SMELLS BAD with Cheek and UTAD! IT NEEDS FIXED NOW!
in response to SCVFL: Could you substantiate your claim with at least one example of the VOLS losing a recruit because of Cheek's "extra" rules???I seem to recall the VOLS picking up a recruit last year that passed NCAA Clearance, but was still refused admittance to Florida, but I cannot recall one that went the other way.CBJ has not even in a practice session yet and already there is a group of you that want to do nothing but blast him and his staff. I do not know if he is our "savior" or not, but he comes with a much better resume than the last coach. Is it possible for the VolNation to get behind CBJ and support him at least through next December to see what might take place? All though I am growing sick of the VFL "thing" that CDD started, especially with some of the former players/coaches, I am and have been a VOL FAN for LIFE = VFL. GO BIG RNG...VFL

Understand the Cheek Rules! The "Extra Approval Rule" comes after a recruit has signed the NOI.
As Tee Martin told Dave Hart about these rules, 'I will get killed on the recruiting trail by all the other schools, They will tell Recruits, you are not guaranteed entrance at Tennessee'
Tee told his wife on the plane to Knoxville, 'call the movers today, we are not going back to LA' SO What Happened?, Dave Hart told him the Cheek Rule may never go away, all this from Tee.
THINK, if a 5 star RB who has OUR VOLS on the short list, along with OSU and AL, is being told by Saban and Meyer you risk not getting in UT, what do you think will happen? LOL, Simple Math, Don't Need A Rock To Fall On Me! Seems Jay Graham wanted to dodge rocks too, at FSU!
And by the way, CBJ would have taken OUR VOLS Job if Neyland was burning down in front of him!
I will support Butch and TENNESSEE forever! BUT WE need to go after Cheek HARD!
FIRE JIMMY CHEEK VOLS!
in response to Basketvol: Cheek was booed loudly at TBA last night when his face came up on the big screen on some sort of ad. This happened repeatedly, at "home." This speaks volumes.

Yes I know, most VOLS know about Booger Nose Cheek! But we need more Donors and Ticket Holders to boycott until Cheek is gone! His rules are KILLING UT in recruiting!
GO VOLS ALWAYS!

Yes First Hand Information! Email or call AD Dave Hart. Was in LA, CA few weeks ago at a function Tee attended. It's very well documented concerning that SOB Jimmy Cheek Rules at UTK!
GO VOLS!
Jay Graham is gone and Tee Martin did not come home because of JIMMY CHEEK the Swamp Lizard SOB that has UTK as the only D1 school in the DAMN Nation with an Internal Approval of Recruits over and above the NCAA Clearing House!
#firecheeknow VOLS if we EVER want to compete again in SEC FOOTBALL! Tee told me directly the above problem, Top Recruits know they are not guaranteed admittance to UTK even after NCAA Clearing House! A Blind Man could see how all the other SEC schools use this against TENNESSEE!
THIS HAS TO CHANGE NOW! After 38 years of donations and donation season tickets, I'm DONE until that SOB CHEEK is GONE!
Wise Up VOLNATION!
I LOVE TENNESSEE, REVOLT NOW!
I'm all for Players EARNING an Orange Jersey! Give Your All For Tennessee OR wear white or blue! CBJ will be tough and hard in practice, It's About Time!
Two of the 5 teams/universities I was taught to HATE are playing in AL & ND! The others are the commode-a-dores, FL and GA! I hope all 5 teams lose every game in every sport they ever play!
Will watch the BCSCG hoping both teams plays bad, turns the ball over a lot, many penalties and one wins on a safety, 2 to 0 LOL!
#FIRECHEEKNOW On Twitter! This POS FL Swamp Lizard Cheek has destroyed UTAD in 7 Years! Tee Martin told me, this CHEEK UT review of Recruits after NCAA Clearing House Approval is KILLING TENNESSEE! I have donated over $100,000 in 20 years to UTAD, until CHEEK is GONE FROM UT, ZERO going forward!
MOVING VAN TIME CHEEK! Us Donors, Season Ticket Holders and Alum are coming for you! Leave UT and the Great State of Tennessee OR ELSE!
Question, wonder why the FL Swamp Lizard doesn't want one of their own in CHEEK, LMOA, YOU POS!
in response to decades_vol: Play 'em. Play Oregon next year, then Oklahoma the next two years after that. And any other powerhouse for that matter. Let recruits know that we are going to play the best teams we can, inside the conference and outside as well. Recruiting will greatly improve, the fanbase will get hungrier, and you'll see Tennessee playing toe-to-toe with these teams sooner than you think.

GO VOLS, THE ONLY UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE!
in response to tenndave: Are you not worried about Gruden. Sure he won 2 super bowls with teams stocked ahead of his time and then during his tenure, they failed to continue to produce. I like him but I am a little leary about whether he can recruit. Maybe I am wrong but just don't go head over heels about him.

Coach Jon Gruden has the IT Factor! Just like Saban. Meyer, Kelly, Etc! These coaches have NO Magic Dust or Secret Weapons, THEY have the IT Factor, that's it!
Coach Jon Gruden has the IT Factor and will SLAY Recruiting in the NCAA at The University of Tennessee as OUR Head Football Coach!
Biggest Thing Since NEYLAND!
in response to MikeCohen: TwiceVolAlum: "Cough up your money Haslam." Seriously? As a UT Alum--twice--you should know better. Consider this portion of a UT news release from a couple of years ago: Community leaders Jim and Natalie Haslam and the Haslam Family Foundation have given the University of Tennessee $32.5 million, the largest gift ever to the university from individuals. President John Petersen and Chancellor Loren Crabtree made the announcement Thursday. The Haslams, both 1952 UT graduates, are widely known for their civic and philanthropic work. Jim Haslam is chairman of the board of Pilot Travel Centers LLC and chairman of the board and president of Pilot Corp., both headquartered in Knoxville. A member of the UT Board of Trustees since 1980, he has announced plans to step down when his term expires next year. The gift will support the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy, the Athletic Department, and the Haslam Endowment. The Haslam family has has "coughed up" more money than anyone else for UT. The Haslam Business Building. The new music building under construction. The Haslam Scholars program.

You are exactly right! The Haslam Family is TENNESSEE'S OSU Pickens Family!
UTAD is one of 3 SEC schools that gives Athletic Private Funds to the General University!
The Haslam Family has given more money to UTAD and the General UT Fund that anyone!
Now the Haslam Family will BUY US Gruden!
UTAD was only one of 3 SEC Schools/Athletic Budgets donating Millions to Academics! Time to stop it until UTAD can regenerate a 100 million surplus!
UTAD is 100% private funded with athletic donations to run UTAD! No public money what so ever!
As far as the Haslam Family THEY WILL GIVE MILLIONS, stop it, they will BUY Gruden, PLEASE!

Last Time 'Dumb A' Hamilton was out playing "Let's Make A Deal" trying to spend less than 1.8 million per yr for a TOP SEC Job at Tennessee! The ones that turned Our VOLS down laughed at the money offer and the timing during recruiting! That's all it was, TENNESSEE with facilities, Stadium, NEW 50 mil Football complex, GREAT University and TOP TEN NCAA History is still a GREAT JOB! PAY THE BUCKS Dave Hart NOW!
in response to VOLFORLIFE: I posted on facebook as I left the stadium yesterday that if a coach could be fired for stupidity, Derek Dooley should be fired before nightfall. I've tried to support Dooley for the third year now. I've tried to tell myself that he would bring the program around. But, obviously, I've been lying to myself. He's cleaned up the "character issues" well enough, and I give him credit for that. But he also has to be able to coach in the SEC, and he JUST CAN'T DO IT!! Time for a change. I hate starting over...AGAIN! But the same ole same ole just ain't cuttin' it either. My heart hurts for the players who give their all for Tennessee, but they deserve better. They deserve a coach (coaches) who can guide them to winning seasons. This staff isn't it. GO VOLS!!!JUGHEAD

Volforlife I 110% agree, Dooley Must Go Now! Monday is not soon enough!
I was behind Dooley until last years embarrassing and dishonorable KY Game! Then at the beginning of this season, I told donors as a Vol Rep, well let's see how Dooley does, maybe 8 & 4! WOW, Dooley never has rectified the KY loss with one decent SEC Win, not one! NO PROGRESS = NO JOB, Fire Dooley Now!
GO VOLS ALWAYS, VFL!
FIRE DOOLEY NOW! Enough Is Enough with this "CS"! And Alabubba You Just BLEW the NC Game, LMAO!
I HATE JIMMY CHEEK, DAVE HART AND DEREK DOOLEY SO BAD, THAT I WANT TO PUKE! FIRE THEM ALL! As a 36 year Donor, 6 Season Ticket over 36 years and Vol Rep, I'm DONE, IF TENNESSEE doesn't FIRE DOOLEY NOW! THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!
GOD HELP UT, GO VOLS ALWAYS!
in response to BIVOLAR_BEARE: Excellent point and my thoughts exactly..Firing a coach mid-season unless the team hasn't won a game it makes no sense. In fact it divides the team even worse than before and forces the new recruits to scatter from the 2013 class. Some fans/alumni are wanting to go to a bowl game this year as well as the players/team/coaches/cheerleaders/band..It would be foolish to pull the plug now.

Might as well let Dooley stay until after the last game now, it's only a few weeks! Either way Dooley winning 3 games or losing another game he will be gone, IMO!
Dooley sealed his fate with the horrible, lay-down & embarrassing KY game last year! Since then Dooley has DONE NOTHING to rectify his position! IMO, IF Dooley had beat just ONE TOP SEC TEAMS he has loss too this year, then most of the VolNation would feel a little better!
NO PROGRESS = NO JOB, FIRE DOOLEY!
YOU BOTH STILL HERE? Question is why? Fire them ALL Hart or leave with them!
Our VOLS will have to score 72 points Sat to beat MO! Dooley, Sunseri and this Defense will not fix itself in 7 days!
GO VOLS BEAT MO! Score many points often each time you touch the ball!
in response to DeltaCharlie3: But what does Dooley know about coaching defense, and if he does know anything, why has he waited so long to bestow his knowledge on his football team? And what is he doing with the offense, hitching his wagon to the only semi-competent piece of the team? Seems like a cop-out to me. "oh, I've been focused on offense, which is why the offense is s good, now I think I'll ease on down to the defense so i can drop some knowledge on them, since their sorta struggling and all." Does anyone buy this?

You're Right and NO I don't buy Dooley coaching defense. Dooley can't even do his Head Coaching Job, LOL! This is like the Captain of the Titanic, saying he is also in charge of bailing water.
ITS TIME Hart, Fire Dooley now if he losses another game or after the season regardless! The Die Should Be Cast!
I would Never Pull Against OUR VOLS, EVER! However, IMO IF Dooley is 7 & 5 and Hart does not still fire him, Hart shows All Of The VolNation his weakness! The die is cast for Dooley, FIRE HIM at Next Loss or End Of Season!
IF Cheek, Hart and Dooley want to be a MAC or Sun Belt Team, they all need to go somewhere else, RIGHT NOW!
YES FIRE THEM BOTH NOW! Don't care that much about the Titans, Adams is a weird dude!
But, OUR VOLS deserves a TOP NAME Coach Now!
Sunseri, just plain embarrassing is your Defense and Coaching abilities in the SEC! Dooley is the head man and you BOTH need FIRED NOW! No more excuses, hire Gruden or Petrino NOW Hart or you leave too!
GO VOLS, VFL!
Dooley needs to be thinking 'Long Term' Unemployment! NO WAY Dooley is Head Football Coach At TENNESSEE even if he wins these 4 games! The majority of donors and season ticket holders are letting Dave Hart know it too!
Hart, fire Dooley or be gone with him!
in response to born2ride: We can beat Troy, Vandy, Missouri and Kentucky. The Vols are bad but those teams are awful. We go 7-5 and to a tiny bowl game. If we play another weak ACC team we could win it. Dooley gets another year or two. Go Big Vols Orange For Life

YES, Our VOLS and Dooley can beat Troy, commode-a-dores, MO and KY, ON DOOLEY'S FAREWELL TOUR!
I never want to see TENNESSEE lose, ever! But winning these next 4 games, proves the point, Dooley Can't Win Big Games In The SEC!
Dave Hart, when is the Presser Scheduled This Week? It better be scheduled if you want your job as well!
The absolute worst defense in the history of TENNESSEE Football! Dooley, Sunseri and Staff need to be fired Monday, no excuses! Total embarrassment for The University of Tennessee with this Mid Major Coaching Staff, SICKEN!
Hart load the Haslam Money Truck and hire Gruden or Petrino NOW!
HART, call the presser Monday, Fire Dooley and have Jon Gruden or Booby Petrino HIRED! THIS HAS TO END NOW! PS: don't let Sunseri back on the campus send him packing from SC!
GRUDEN on MONDAY! GO VOLS, VFL!
in response to tnsportsman: The Gruden Hype as you called it, Is The Name, The Branding, The Man, The National Attention, National Recognition and National Recruiting with Jon Gruden as HC! Saban, Miles, Meyer all have "The IT" and so does Gruden! YES, 6 Million per year will Buy Gruden and his IT! UTAD will have the money from Major Donors to Buy Gruden. The buy-outs of 9 plus million over 4 years for coaches is Peanuts compared to the 30 plus million of New Money each year the Gruden IT brings in, Business 101 people! What makes Saban, Miles or Meyer the Great Coaches they are? They don't have a secret weapon, they have similar facilities and university; but it's THE IT nothing more. Why are the NFL Saints and AR Razorbacks losing with the same players that was supposed to be great this year? They Lost their IT Great Coaches! Hamilton had this "Mad Experiment" of trying to save money on Mid Major Coaches at a TOP SEC University, HE FAILED BADLY! TIME FOR THE "IT" at TENNESSEE! GRUDEN at ALL COST Dave Hart, Go Do It Now or LEAVE! GO VOLS, VFL!

And another thing, Jon Gruden has already said 'IF he was to coach in College, it would be at Tennessee'.
Jon Gruden has "THE IT" and Recruits would fall all over themselves to play for Gruden. Gruden would demand and pay to get the TOP Coordinators and Assistant Coaches in the Nation!
College Head Football Coaches like Saban, Miles, Meyer, Etc are Super Stars with players on scholarship only, In the NFL it's Super Star Players with paid head coaches only.
NFL coaches work load is 2 times more than college coaches. The NCAA limits college coaches, the NFL is 18 hours per day/ 365!
IF Gruden wants to coach again, bet it's college where he can be a Super Star! Gruden would rival Saban First Year!
in response to Cousin_Eddie: Gruden had a winning record a whopping 6 out of 11 years in the NFL and has a career record of 100-85. I don't get the hype.

LMAO, Really?
John, you just explained very well why a GREAT HEAD COACH MATTERS! It's not Tennessee vs SC as schools, It's a TOP NAMED HEAD COACH at SC vs the (Mid Major Hamilton Mad Experiment) Dooley, LMAO!
Ask AR and the Saints if a Great Head Coach Matters?
Hamilton almost single handily destroyed UTAD, what an idiot! These buy-outs and hiring a 6 million per yr Top Name and Successful Head Coach will pay dividends in Winning and a Full Neyland of 103,000 each week. Simple math and business, spend money to make money!
8 & 4 or ELSE starts Sat at Noon in SC! Dooley it's a One and Done Playoff Game each week for the next 5 weeks!
IMO Dave Hart should have already told Dooley, 8 & 4 Regular Season is the bar PERIOD! I hope Our VOLS can beat SC and must win the final 4 Games NO EXCUSES! IMO the next loss equals FIRING! Losing Makes Me SICK, so damn tired of it!
GO VOLS, VFL
LMAO all 3, Brays, Hunter and Patterson need to stay next year, none of them have beaten a rated team yet. Think the NFL Owners know that?
GO PROVE YOURSELVES VOLS and WIN SEC GAMES!
Missing My First TENNESSEE vs AL Game in 36 years! Only my 6th missed game at Neyland in 36 years! I HATE LOSING PERIOD, IT'S SICKING! From the last 3 games of 2008 until now Hamilton Destroyed UTAD! I refuse to go and see Our VOLS lose another SEC Game, can't do it!
When will Hart, UTAD, and the VolNation WISE UP? Even IF Dooley wins the last 4 games to be 7 & 5, NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
NO EXCUSES VOLS, WE HAVE TO START WINNING SEC GAMES, question is WHEN?
Excellent question! I sure hope Dooley can win this game against MS State, then play SC and AL close and finish out 8 & 4! IMO 8 & 4 gives Dooley 2013, if not we will see very soon, THE TIME IS NOW!
For the Record SEC coaches winning turn around time:
Muschamp - 1 1/2 yrsSaban - 1 yrMullens 4 yrs
THE TIME IS NOW DOOLEY, NO EXCUSES!

I certainly hope you are right GatorHator! I would take 9 & 3 right now and go home for the rest of the season! Let's say you miss on one of the wins, like SC. That would be 8 & 4 and enough to give Dooley another year, IMO.
However, IMO the SC game is the only one that could be a loss, MS State, Troy, MO, commode-a-dores and the kitty litter ALL MUST BE WINS for Our VOLS!
in response to springtx_vol: That is probably the best offense that we will face all year. I am not at all happy with the intensity of the wide receivers today, we don't seem to be able to get consisent effort from 80 or so players at the same time. This game exposed the lack of speed for our defense. Brewer looked like he was running in sand. Where was Maggitt and Jacques Smith? We simply do not have the defensive backs to blitz and put pressure on the defense. With all of this, I still see 9-3 as a possibility. South Carolina is not as good as Georgia. Missouri has struggled all year. Lose to Alabama in a well played game, win out, it will have been a good year.

Kingwoodtx vol IMO 8 & 4 with defense at best. I certainly hope you are right at 9 & 3! Think we played the 2nd best team in the SEC in GA to the end today.
Defense and kicking game has to be a D right now! I don"t know what the Vols do in the kicking game? The kicking game cost us a win, just can't have that kinda let down and mistakes in kicking game in the SEC!
That was the kind of effort I think we wanted to see against a number 5 Team so good job VOLS! Now go win SEC games against MS State, MO, KY and Vaaaanderbilt no excuses on those, BEAT Them! On SC maybe, play 60 minutes and let's see, Ours VOLS will have to make the beaks go their way. AL, LOL well just play hard and don't quit.
Defense and Kicking VOLS has to improve GREATLY!
Oh, that GA D gave up 44 and our RBs did great, wonder what the GA fans are saying about that?
VOLS no excuse for not being 8 & 4 and maybe just maybe 9 & 4 with BETTER Defense and Kicking!
GO VOLS. VFL!

IMO, IF Dooley comes back from MS State 3 & 3 with AL and SC coming up, Dave Hart will fire him! I hope Dave Hart is what I think he is, tough!
Look at logic and recruiting, IMO better to do it mid season and get a New Head Coach by early December for recruiting proposes. UTAD will find the money to buy Dooley out and pay the big bucks for a new Head Coach, can you say Haslam!
Hart knows AL went through 10 years of losing and 4 head coaches. Very interesting just how close the situations are alike.
And for sure Hart will fire him IF Dooley losses the next 4 SEC games!
Dooley I hope I'm wrong and you win at least 2 of these 4 SEC games and play the other two tough for 60 minutes! ITS TIME NOW Dooley, no more excuses, losing SEC GAMES ends now or else!
Our VOLS were supposed to win this game, they did it very badly IMO but won! NCS, GAS and Akron does not matter, SEC WINS MATTER! That's Dooley's down fall, he is in way over his head! The last 8 SEC Games in the 2nd half proves it (149 points to our 26 points)
IF and (God I hope not) Dooley comes back from MS State at 3 & 3, IMO he has to go! This SEC record has to be TURNED AROUND NOW! No excuses, no quitting in the 2nd half, no crying, no explanations JUST WINS!
Dooley your time is NOW, Just Do It!
in response to volcop: all 4 losses, plus loss to mizzu = 6-6 againonly wins nc state, ga state, akron,troy, vanderbilt, ky

volcop you might be right with 6 & 6. Everytime I get back to 110% supporting Dooley, he lays another SEC Egg!
IMO, Dooley is in way over his head! He is a great likeable guy, has lots of class and will someday be a great coach. But this Hamilton 'Mad Mid Major Coaching Experiment' with On The Job Training at an Elite SEC School like TENNESSEE is the gift that keeps on giving Our VOLS embarrassment! The last two SEC games KY and FL is enough for me! I hope I'm wrong and Our VOLS still win 8 games this year, but after Sat I'm not so sure! If we win 8 games I will eat my crow and say sorry!
I vote (which I don't have one) that IF Dooley is 3 & 3 after MS State, that Dave Hart fire him then, better then than Dec in Recruiting months! THEN Dave Hart, as I heard him promise, goes and BUYS the best avaiable D1 Head Football Coach with an open check book (5 million plus per year)!
I Do Not Care about Bobby Petrino's social life, HE IS A WINNER and PROGRAM TURN AROUND type coach! Petrino will be single, so let's make sure the 24 year old blonde does not work for UTAD or the University, LOL! If we don't hire Petrino, KY certianly will and Our VOLS will have to play him every year.
I love OUR VOLS and The University of Tennessee, but THIS MUST END NOW!
