fyp, you don't speak for everyone. Many of us have at least some class.

Don't change my quote TNGlen to serve your own purposes.

The whole point of the OP was to salute Dooley...not debate the coaching search.

As a fanbase, we are not responsible for saluting a failed head coach.

I see my post flew right over the top. Dooley is gone. Like him or not, what good does it do to propagate hate? Does it show our next coach how "classy" our fan base is? A poster on here last night said the HC of the Tennessee Volunteers should be stabbed. I'm as disappointed in the past few years as anybody, but good or bad, I guess a few of us still prefer to hold our heads high. Stay classy. GBO.

Klet, we don't agree on the other forum, but you are dead on here! +100.

And I stand by how I fixed yours. Don't include me in your classless backstabbing drivel. Your lack of class will carry right through the next coach when he doesn't win a NC in year 2. You are what most Vol fans aspire........not to be.

Sumlin yes, Cutt no (per a high level Duke donor, they would have made it worth his while to stay), and if there were several other "Dooley's", why not this Dooley? If Bray had as much desire as Cam Newton, we would not be having this conversation. Chizik is the next one gone this year. Although, from what I hear, AU isn't interested in dropping the money to get rid of him this year.

Cut definitely would have come, the issue was staff.

The question wasn't "Why not this Dooley", the question was who else would have taken it. The claim keeps being made Dooley was the only one who would take it, and that's not true, so stop saying it.

There's plenty to praise Dooley on without having to make stuff up to make him more sympathetic.

Which is why I stand by the reason for deleting yours.

Classless backstabbing drivel?? Feel free to search my posts where I expected Dooley to do anything more than win...anything. Again, go back and look at the original post...I disagree with his position.

Don't question my loyalty to my alma mater when you have Alabama listed along with your favorite schools.

So we need to be happy about Dooley further plunging the program into the sh***** and being wildly incompetent---and I guess the pluses were he was Southern, he set up the VFL program (which by the way he couldn't even run that right because he fired the first guy he hired) and he "took a bullet" and coached our program when no one else would?

Wow, how the mighty have fallen.

Nobody ever said anything about being happy about Dooley's tenure at UT. This is about being respectful.

So, saying Derek Dooley is the worst coach in the history of Tennessee football is being disrespectful?

No, it is really an arguable opinion and I don't find it disrespectful. But this is not a time for humiliating the man and his family with insults and such.

I, too, am a bit surprised at how much negativity remains on what should otherwise be a glorious day.

You came to Tennessee when we were in the abyss. You inherited a bloody awful mess and got no breaks along the way. Yet you kept trying when most men (many of whom criticized you ruthlessly) would have folded under the pressure. The good things you did have improved the program and will go a long way to returning us to prominence. Unfortunately, those are not the things that bring in the money or the recruits and we all recognize the nature of this beast. It is my hope that you will not leave with overwhelming bitterness, that you will come to realize that many UT fans respect the heck out of you and genuinely rooted for you. You may not have been the most successful UT coach, but YOU WERE A COACH OF THE TENNESSEE VOLS!! There are very few men who can claim that. I salute you and I hope you will remain a VFL.

I don't understand these type posts. All your doing is pandering. Dooley isn't reading Volnation and will never see this thread. If this is the way you feel then write DD a letter. I know it want give you the instant gratification that your looking for but it is more appropriate.

Out of touch with reality Oskie...the problem with people like you is that it's ALL about love and hugs. Performance, competence, responsibility??? Nah, that's not important.

This is a PROGRAM, not "Everybody gets a gold star for participating" event.

Sorry for bumping this older thread but just saw this. I'm not out of touch Larkin and if you've ever read my posts you'd know I'm not a participation trophy type of guy. My parents did give me hugs as a child and still do as as an adult. As they are caring people. But I'll be da*ned if my dad didnt whoop my azz when I deserved it. As a child and even as an adult. Ie my dad whooooooped my azzzz old school street fight style when I was 21. I was home from school for the summer and my mom was nagging me about something one day and I told her to leave me alone and shut up (I know its bad but just came out). My dad was walking by and heard and just came across and knocked me in the jaw. I fell to the ground and he continued to kick me in the chest (got me once good before I got my arms in to block). While kicking me he was saying "never.ever.talk.to.your.mom.like.that.again". Each word came with a kick. Btw - he grew up playing soccer and he was going through chemo at the time too. After I calmed down I respected him even more if that was possible cause I disrespected his woman and I know he would have done the same to any stranger that disrespected her.

This is just one of many hard lessons that I was taught growing up. But with as many tough lessons came hugs and proper parent affection. This helped balance me out and not be such a negative or pampered punk.

Sorry for the story (I'm sure I'll get gifs) but making sure you understand where I'm coming from and not assuming things about me specifically.
