Guess that loss to Vandy 41-18 did him in.

Knew it was going to happen, but I am a little surprised that it happened before the end of the season, but Better to get a jump on it I guess

Bout time. Vol nation has been calling for his head pretty much all season.

Vandy just obliterated them last night 41-18. I figured he'd be gone by season end, but I've got to think that whipping accelerated it.

Vandy's been a coaching killer this year. Joker Phillips was fired after their loss to Vandy and now Dooley.

Obviously calling Vandy a "coaching killer" is a stretch, but I don't think I've ever seen Vandy playing like they're playing this season.

So when does Vandy's coach bolt?

Honestly, I think it's going to have to be a top flight job offer for him to jump ship. I think it's going to take a program that he could go to and potentially win a National Championship.

I think Franklin really likes it in Nashville, and at Vandy. So far, when he tells them to jump, Vandy has jumped. They gave him an extension and raise during this past offseason. They've made improvements to the stadium and facilities...including an Indoor Practice Facility that they're about to break ground on.

And on top of that, he doesn't really have much pressure on him...he has to beat 4 OOC weaklings a year, and then win 2 or more conference games and he's the king at Vandy.

I know it was meant as a joke, but I don't think Franklin would even consider going to Tennessee.

The more interesting question to me? Who are the Vols going to hire, and are they going to be able to afford to drop some cash in order to get a top notch coach?

After John Gruden, Charlie Strong seems to be a popular candidate in most Vols' mind.

.
not a joke,wasn't implying him going to Tennessee, was just throwing his name in the mix as opposed to starting another thread...I was being lazy :lol:

 

[bamaraider]

I would have fired him after last years lost to Kentucky
