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

You do realize UT was not a good program when Dooley took the job right? Most coaches didn't want to touch this job with a 10ft pole. Contrary to what most people believed, Hamilton would have opened up the paybook. He did it for Kiffin and his crew.

Tennessee has always been a good program. A program that's struggling doesn't compare to taking over Virginia Tech when Beamer did.

Please explain how Hoke and Golden have much better resumes? Hoke has had 2 winning seasons in 8 years and it took Al Golden 4 years to have a winning record.

Hoke won 12 games and a conference title at Ball State. He then took over a 2 win team at San Diego State that hadn't had a winning season in over a decade and he won 9 in his second year.

If you don't see how Golden improved Temple, you're either trolling or stupid.

Dooley on the other hand, ended up getting passed up by Idaho while he was at Louisiana Tech.
