Vols add Josh Conklin to staff as safeties coach » GoVolsXtra Seems like we are hiring a bunch of guys that can easily disappear at the end of next year with Dofus.
I think you are on to something 27, especially if Smart is Hart's target to replace Dooley. Seems like the new coaches are either guys that Smart would likely retain or guys that he could tell to get the hell out easily.
I think it's the best Dooley can do. Who, other than a guy like Conklin, is going to come work for the laughingstock of the SEC?
I'm not Jay, but I don't see how you take that chance. None of Saban's disciples have done a damn thing as a HC. Why repeat the cycle?
I'm in the same boat you are in. I tend to lean towards the thinking that if Dooley is let go, we can't screw up another hire and not expect to see the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse riding into Koxville. I would feel much better getting a guy that already has a record as a successful HC. Smart may be awesome. No one knows because he has never been a HC. LThat's the problem with him, imo. We can't afford another gamble like the CDD hire.
