Over
It' gonna take another 2-3 yrs to even see what he can accomplish, IMO.

unless Fulmer-esque disaster happens (preseason #3 end up being 5-7), he'll be here for a while.

Under...Tennessee fans will not be patient if he doesn't begin to have some success.

Imo, the administration will give him 5 (4 more) years to win an SEC title, if he can't do it, then he'll be out of a job.
To get to those 4th and 5th years, I think he has to win 16 games combined this year and next.

Until he leaves or gets fired?
Probably the latter....
*Edit
BTW...that was not a flame. I was just saying I don't think there are to many jobs out there that he would leave for...thus if he leaves it will be because he was fired...

I like Dooley and think he will succeed if given the time and support. I'll say over, but things can change quickly in college football, so who knows?

I think over. There is probably a good chance that he will be Athletic Directer one day, based on the rapid turnover in that position at UT.

Under but he'll leave a good foundation of talent for the next coach when he takes over ala Zook and Dinardo.

Over. I think you have a good coach with Dooley.

Pretty tough to say with only one season under his belt but Im goin with over
And if he makes it to year 5 I think he will be here for a long time

Until the head coaching job at Georgia opens up.

under.
I think the first time he gets over .500 in the SEC he will bolt for a job where the school doesnt require the students to get a 27 on the ACT.
He will either never get over .500 and get fired for it, or, like I said, the very first time he does, he will exchange whatever goodwill he has for a job where football comes ahead of academics,
AND ideally, in a state where they have at least 40 Rivals recruits every year on the state rivals page. He is in deep doodoo, trying to recruit out of state at the same time that Louisville and Cincinnati are now both in the Big East ( instead of the C-USA or Missouri Valley). Cincinnati is going to get some of those southern Ohio guys. Louisville is going to get some hometown guys. UTe is out of luck. They are scrabbling for Georgia's leftovers vs Georgia Tech.

Under. There's a good shot that Tennessee is preseason top 5-8 next year, and have expectations to win the East and contend for an SEC Title and National Title. IMO UT won't win more than 8 games next year. I just don't see the quality depth there.

I'll say over just because of the recent history at UT.
If he keeps his players graduating and out of trouble (relatively speaking) while simultaneously winning 8-9 games per year, he will be around for 5 years before the fans get tired of mediocrity and another guy comes in.
I do not believe that Dooley has the head coaching ability to win the SECCG in this conference of uber talented coaches.
That being said, if he continues to have disagreements with the AD, or if he has a losing season this year, then that number changes quickly. If he wins less than 8 next year he's gone.
