If you're seriously claiming that Dooley will still be the head coach at Tennessee next year, you're either:

a) lying
b) uninformed
c) stupid

I have said in other threads that Tennessee will finish 7-5 this year with a 4 game winning streak. He took over a dumpster fire from Kiffin, and they are showing progress.

I know it's not as fast a turn around as you wanted (or any fanbase wants), but they are improving whether you like it or not.

They can fire him if they want, but if they are going to do it, better do it now and not give him the chance to finish the season 4-0 and then fire him. PR nightmare, and will cause any decent coach to avoid that. That's all I'm saying.
