Hold up, he's only in his 2nd year at UC, which is a mid-major at best. I wouldn't hold that loss against him, if I were you.

I have followed this shite show of a program obsessively for almost my entire life.
I will still go to games and hope we do well, but if this is the hire we make it will be time to take a step back for me. No way can I take following this shite show of a program on a day to day basis anymore.

10 years 60 million, no buyout. Gets to "party" in sunsphere whenever he wants.

Dooley recruited well his first year, so I thought he might stock up the roster enough to get some Ws.
By the middle of his second year I knew his tenure would be short so I stuck it out to see who we would hire.

Third year.
He took over a team that went to a BCS bowl.
4-8
10-3
9-3
Hey, at least he beat Vandy in the Liberty Bowl last year so he has that going for him.

If he's hired, then his arrival at the airport will be worse than Chiziks arrival at Auburn. At least Auburn wasn't burning mattresses.

Why are people calling this a bad hire? I think it's pretty good
Maybe not what Tenners were hoping for but Jones is a damn good coach

Again. Brian Kelly 2.0. After all this I'd be cool with the hire. Sh#t man, the way this has gone down I wouldn't be shocked with an 11th hour run at Skip Holtz.

I have nothing against the Vols, but their AD is an idiot. I think he is just looking to fill the spot and doesn't care who it is. Good luck!

Never built a program. No SEC ties. Lost to Derek Dooley head-to-head with the worst team in Tennessee history.
If he is not booed off the plane along with Hart our fans suck.

He has followed Brian Kelly, everywhere.
There is no telling how he will do without Brian Kelly setting him up for success.
I think we can all agree that Brian Kelly is a good coach, but he has too follow Derek Dooley's foundation for success in Knoxville, mercy...
