Coach Dooley, thank you for what you did!

[DarthVisor]

Dooley shouldn't have been hired to begin with. With that being said, he inherited a very bad situation. Still, that is no excuse for not having beat someone of note by year three.

 

[Sheezy]

As long as he is our coach (hell, even after :thumbsup

I will support him!

GBO!

:loco:

I definitely have nothing against him. I acknowledge he came into a very dire situation and has done well with what he has. Having to recruit against the likes of the SEC while being a new, unproven HC is a daunting situation for any man. I hope to see success out of him and our Vols next year for as long as he is the HC.

That being said, if a new coach were to build off dooleys successes to lead us into a nice winning season I would also be happy.

I'm honestly tired of all of the blame being put on CDD. If our WRs would catch the ball half the time, we would have different ball games. If bray didn't just sling the ball or throw it to CDD, the outcome would be different. I'm not saying he's the best coach because he needs work.. But put blame on these players for dropping balls in the end zone etc.. Justin hunter is a top wr and he's dropped how many? Somehow dooley needs to be fired because of that? Dooley is 2/2 on passes from bray.. At least we can count on him to catch the ball

Before Dooley came we had a coach who had about the same amount of secondary violations as wins, and were about to go on probation. At least Dooley cut down on the black eye image of the program, and didn't have any players committing armed robberies. And the ones that did have brushes with the law he dismissed (unlike Janzen Jackson under Kiffin)
Obviously, he wasn't able to show enough improvement fast enough, so he deserves to be fired, but he conducted himself well here and gave his all for Tennessee. No need to pile on here. Just thank the guy for stepping into a situation that several other coaches turned down, giving his all, and now let's go support the next guy and hope he can get it done. It's about the success of the Vols, and I don't delight in any of the Vol family's failure. I'm a little surprised at how many seem to.

I totally understand our record. What I'm trying to say Is.. Nobody gives **** to any of the players for their bad games.. Hunter dropped 5 passes against Alabama... But it's dools fought? Just give the players their half of criticism

It's Dooley's job and he gets paid millions to coach them so they don't make so many mistakes. He's failed and he's failed BIG TIME!
Unlike you and the other Dooley lovers I put more on the coaches than the young men who make them millions.

Because it's not Dooley's fault. It's the players, Asst coaches, fans, previous coaches, the media and the students that's caused the bad record. Don't you get it?

I guess what I'm saying is.. Dooley can coach them all day but when the ball hits them between the numbers and they drop it.. That's not the coaches fault. I agree we need a change but at the same time.. People are quick to judge CDD but why don't you judge the players? I just think the players should get just as much criticism as dooley after a bad game.
