re: How close was Dooley to being fired after the UK loss? Very close

The 28-34 is blind bashing. You are going off a record that doesn't tell the whole story. He took over a La Tech team that went 3-10 the year before. He didn't take over a 10 win team like most of the so called good coaches.

What would have happened if Spurrier was fired after his 35-28 record after 5 years and back to back losses to Vandy at USCjr?

What if Michigan never gave Brady Hoke a chance because of his 47-50 career record?

What if UNC fired Mack Brown after his back to back 1 win seasons?

Why did Miami even give Al Golden a chance since his career record is 27-34?

Records do not tell the whole story. Dooley has had two rebuilding jobs. He is not going to have a good record until he has the chance to build his team.

News flash: Lot's of coaches take over bad situations. The good ones don't make excuses and get results. It may not be pretty at first, but there's generally noticeable improvement. Dooley's accomplishments include failing to maintain a long winning streak against Kentucky and bringing Tennessee back to back losing seasons for the first time in 100 years. When are you going to start holding him accountable for losing? How long does he have to continue losing before it's his fault?
