    Tennessee officials flew into Ruston, La., on Friday afternoon to visit with Louisiana Tech coach Derek Dooley in a meeting that could finalize the deal with Dooley as the Vols' next head coach.

      Has Dooley done anything with that program other than take them to one bowl game?

              If this pans out, this is a terrible hire. Its not that he is a bad coach, but he is in no way qualified to coach at Tennessee. There isn't a single reason why they couldn't go after one of the many qualified assistants out there, who would be a much better hire.

                  Will we be seeing "rioting" at Louisiana Tech?

                      Dooley's resume is actually fairly solid. He's arguably more prepared for the job than Kiffin. He coached under Saban at LSU, is a great recruiter, and has like 3-4 years of college head coaching experience. Kiffin was a bigger risk than this IMO.

                      I think he'll do fine, and bring way less scrutiny and embarrassment to the program than seen in the "Lane Violation" regime.

                          He brought in quite a few 3 star kids to La Tech, so he should be able to bag enough 4 and 5 star guys to be competitive as a bcs school

                              Army beat Louisiana Tech last year.

                              This hiring is invalid.

                                  Air Force came within a 2 pt conversion of beating Tennessee with the best coach they've had in the last 20 years.

                                      Tells you how bad it is when coaches prefer to stay at Air Force and Duke then coming to Tennessee.

                                      UT really fucked up with Fulmer.

                                          Fat Phil outcoaches Lame Kiffin every day of the week. He is 10x the coach Lane ever was.

                                                  Lol, a black man coaching in Tennessee. Yeah, he'll definitely get a fair shot.
