Try to joke away the fact that you have no basis for your statement. Miles built Ok State into a legit BCS program rather quickly...but again, nice try.

UT was looking for the next Saban, isnt everyone. So happens he is a protege sorda. I thought Saban was a POS scum.

Bottom Line; Dooley led LaTech to their first Bowl appearance/win in THILRTY YEARS. HE was 4-8 this year but LT wa sthe most injury plagued team n FBS this year. The WRs were 3rd string cornerbacks most of the year. Most LT fans expected a 10 win year next year. I don't even know how long its been since that happened.

He learned from the best. I think it was a good risk. He is a good recruiter and seems like he could retain most of our class.

He's a good hire, no matter what anyone else might say. I've been impressed with him from the beginning, and I always knew it was just a matter of time until he was coaching in the SEC.

Grats Vols!

Except for his record.
Welcome to club mediocrity, Vols.
You've been chilling here for a while, and calling it club elite.
It's not.

Dooley promises Integrity and Class in his first press conference, and Kiffin promises to beat Urban Meyer...I have to say I'm starting to like the hire more and more.

Glad to see there is a grown up in Knoxville now. But who will Lil Wayne idolize now that Kiffin's gone?

Im not understanding why everyone is praising Dooley. He's done nothing and he was UTs 32nd choice at HC.
