For the record, Dooley took on an impossible situation at Tennessee, and was unable to turn it around. Here's another article that outlines some of the inherited crap: http://espn.go.com/college-football...ey-tennessee-volunteers-return-another-seasonFilthy McGrizzly said:Hopefully we can attract an up and coming OC instead of a fired head coach.
You may recall that Kiffin and his staff piled up a dozen other recruiting infractions in the span of ten months -- that’s what led to the original probation that the NCAA recently extended. By all accounts, Dooley was doing an effective job in cleaning up the program. But he inherited a bad situation with the probation, which -- according to their fan boards -- scared off some prime recruits. Of course, Dooley knew about the probation, but every football coach has to be an optimist and believe he can "fix" whatever needs fixing.Associated Press said:Dooley had four years left on his contract, which includes a $5 million buyout.
...
Dooley's successor will become the Vols' fourth coach in a six-year stretch. Phillip Fulmer was fired in the midst of a 5-7 season in 2008 and ended his 17-year tenure with a 152-52 record. Lane Kiffin stayed for just one year before Southern California hired him away. Now Dooley is leaving after only three seasons.
…
Tennessee faces some financial issues as it chooses its new coach. The university's athletic department posted a $3.98 million budget deficit for the 2011-12 fiscal year in part because of buyouts it was paying to Fulmer, former athletic director Mike Hamilton, former men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl and former baseball coach Todd Raleigh.
…
The football program is on probation until August 2015. The NCAA handed Tennessee a two-year extension of its probation Friday after ruling former assistant Willie Mack Garza provided impermissible travel and lodging for an unofficial visit by former prospect Lache Seastrunk, who eventually signed with Oregon and has since transferred to Baylor. Garza worked as an assistant on Kiffin's staff.
