If this is indeed true, I think it is obvious what is going on.
Sure, he knew there were problems after Ga State even - as did you and I.
Why, if you're on the hot seat, would you announce you're going to move to the defense to help out before the meat of the schedule.
Now we find ourselves approaching Mizzou, Vandy, and Kentucky. I think I'll publicly announce that I'm going to help out right here. Hard to not show improvement with that competition.
Well he can move to Texas it's not gona help those with eyes see if he's a good X's and O's Coach We knew 3 years ago looking at his La Tech Success when he was head coach and AD. Dooley should have done this 9 weeks ago.The players (and it's all over Knoxville) Do not want to play for Dooley! He is grasping for straws and it's to late!
Dude our O-Line has played great this year.If they can control Clowney.They can control Richardson.He may get 1.He won't have 4 like Alex Brown had against Tennessee in 1999.
I'm so glad he has waited for 3 games to go before he gives his expertise to help the defense. The season is saved! Long live Dooley!
If anyone needs any more time to figure out what DD is all about, God help them. Another week and another collapse is just expected now a days. Maybe it's the OL's turn. I am calling it now. OL gives up 9 sacks Vs Mizzou. Sheldon Richardson has 4.5 this week.
I doubt they will as well. I made the comment to speak to just how bad this year has been. Every week it's something else.
I am so glad that UT's athletic director doesn't listen to the guys on message boards if that was the case we would have a new coaching staff every week. I can see the frustrations everyone is having with Dooley, but to be honest the biggest mistake was hiring Sal and changing a defense that wasn't horrible last year. With last year's defense we lose 1 game this year and that is to Bama. Sorry Florida your offense still sucks we would have limited the big plays in the UGA and USCe games and Miss. State shouldn't have even been competitive. If Dooley wins the remaining games and the bowl game he's coming back and what we need is a new D coordinator and move Sal to linebackers. Believe it or not UT has improved this year big time on offense and the defense has just been poorly coached. I think if Dooley comes back that Hart should pay the big bucks and get Chavis to come back. Just my thoughts and firing Dooley right now would be the wrong thing to do especially if he wins out.
