Because I am new to this forum...I want to take this time to just say Im glad to be a Tennessee Volunteer...When 'that guy' left us, it seemed like there was going a riot everywhere...I was a huge fan of 'that guy' and he took a great job...No one can say that USC is not a great job...Do I hope he fails...I hope he falls flat on his face and the NCAA puts the hammer down on him...He came here saying he was about being a Vol and this and that and I bought in to him and that was a mistake...But I think I can say without a doubt, I will buy in to Coach Derek Dooley...When seeing and praising 'that guy' when he became our coach b/c I liked his willingness to say whatever and he did get UT in the headlines (some good, some bad)...I was all about it, but when CDD was anounced as our HC, he impressed me with his class, integrity, and people skills...He has a plan for everything...And after seeing both coaches come in, I am definitely more of CDD guy...I am reading Tony Dungy's 2nd book "Uncommon"...Coach Derek Dooley is Uncommon...I think I see alot of Dooley's qualities as a person that resembles that of Tony Dungy...And that is great news for the University of Tennessee...And for CDD to come in and salvage our recruiting class and pick up some great ones along the way - DaRick Rogers, Justin Hunter, James Stone, Rajion Neal and then some solid ones as well - John Propst and Mychal Rivera - and then some talented projects - Nash Nance and Crump!!!! Now all there is left to see is if he can coach with this kind of talent instead of the talent he had at La Tech...That is a big IF...But if his coaching resembles anything like his father, like his attitude, integrity, and planning...He will be successful!
Sorry so long, but like I said, I am new to this forum and had to get that off my chest!
LETS GO VOLS!!!!!!
