That would be a good question with Dooley. He is also the AD at La Tech, so he isn't going to be on the hot seat really (at least according to Barbara).
David Cutcliffe has agreed (or not?) to coach the Vols (Merged threads)
- Thread starter BamaNation
- Start date
Derek Dooley is also the AD at Louisiana Tech. Does anything think that factors into any negotiations? I mean, he would be leaving a little bit more than just the football program. I wonder how much better of a football coach he would be if that is all he focused on? Pretty impressive guy...

I think he probably wised up to the fact that, if he didn't meet Ole Miss expectations, he probably wouldn't meet expectations in Vol Nation.
I looked at his staff and saw familiar names from his staff at Ole Miss.
Tennessee fans just dodged a bullet. He would have insured several years of mediocrity in Knoxville.

I just think back to four years ago when we went:
Spurrier? Nope
RichRod? Nope
Saban? Yup.
REALLY hope they don't find a way to pull a rabbit out of their hat. Not sure what rabbits might be out there at this point (Peterson?) but I was going to be VERY happy with a Cutcliffe hire....
The Barner Vice principal here at school is very close to the dooley family. I will see if I can get any type of info.
I know, it would've been GREAT!
Oh well, as long as Hamilton is doing the hiring, we've got a better than average chance that UT ends up with a dud...
Yep, he's staying at Duke. Good for him. He would have been a puppet anyway and I think he knew that.

Maybe they should interview Bobby Bowden?
Can't even get the football coach at a basketball school to come! This is fun to watch!

I hope Roy Adams is enjoying all of this. Try as I might, I just can't feel much if any sympathy for UT.
Soooo. After a DC, the HC of Air Force and Duke turn you down .. exactly where do you go?
Well I guess there's still names like Stoops and Gruden they are throwing around over there on the Vol Forums. :biggrin:
I think they coined the phrase it doesn't get any better than this for this year alone!

I think I remember reading something in the good book that you reap what you sow. I think that's exactly what is happening to UT, and like I said above I have very little if any sympathy for them.
TN may eventually get a big name coach, but the embarrassment of being turned down and the publicity is priceless. I am enjoying this while I can. 
No, he said he would not pursue the position.
Subtle difference, but definitely not saying 'I'm not interested'...
Personally, I think he's angling for AD.
Wow a lot of the UT people are bashing Cutcliffe on there boards, saying he would be a horrible hire.
I say we send Alasippi, LCN, or Bayoutider up there as a double agent. They can rake in a good income, hire a few other double agents for staff, and teach the young Volunteers how to run the quintuple-option-without-a-quarterback offense and recruit 150-pound speed guys for the DL.
Right about now, I think Knoxville is desperate enough to bite. :smile:
