Could Dooley Have Kept Bryce?

[Spartacavolus]

the reason Bray was benched by Chaney was for changing the calls to long plays that didn't work because of bad reads or bad decisions to change in the first place

 

[SlyStone]

I guess he thinks KSU's coach sux too.

He transferred to Kansas, not KSU.

nyet

 

[Oskie Volum]

Yes. All he had to do was come and ask in person and give Dooley the reasons he felt he deserved a release past 'because dad says so.' Never did.

Thanks DP. :hi: Thats what I thought. Love how people come on here and say dd didn't try to keep him. They come in drop their negative filled agenda turd and never come back when they are proven wrong. Just fills thier sorry lives to pass lies as truth. Yes that's to you oregonvol and the fools like you. :hi:

Lots of folks have already exposed Bryce for what he was at UT. He had an entourage before he committed, it remained while he was at UT, followed him to KState where he remained on the pine, just never could get on the field there. Hopefully the entourage left when he couldn't buy a soda anywhere and he's smart enough not to let them back around now that he is going to collect a paycheck.

I mean, if you want to believe your own inaccurate opinions instead of facts, be my guest.

Pass plays were called, kid. In short-yard situation after short-yard situation.

You can opine all you like about whether or not you think Bray threw it long instead of short. That's conjecture.

The FACT is that a run was NOT called.

Maybe in the reality of your mommy's basement Chaney called runs consistently on short yardage situations.

Here in the real world, he called passes.

Um, no.

Hey, I thought we could have a discussion without name-calling, my mistake.

I never said he called runs. I never disputed that pass plays were called.

Offenses that run most plays from the shotgun and rely on short passes don't suddenly shift to a I-formation to run it up the middle on 3rd and 2. If you disagree with that philosophy, that's fine, but don't expect your team to be something they're not.

I agree that we were successful running the ball at times this season, but that majority of those runs were from the shotgun or pistol formation, which causes linebackers to spread out in coverage in reaction. With a decent line, it's not difficult to run the ball from those sets when the defense has to account for the pass. However, shifting to a short-yardage set from the I wouldn't have the same success. In fact, when we tried that, we couldn't pick up the short yard run because the defense had no trouble figuring out what we were going to do.

If you expect our new staff to try to grind out yards on 3rd and short, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

You tried to blame Bray for Chaney's playcalling.

Chaney called passes instead of runs.

Get over it, you're wrong.

It's clear (as it was in 2009) that Brown will be a successful NFL back for a long time. Probably sign a 10+ million contract for 3-4 years.

He could have won Dooley 3-4 more games in 2010 and 2011, and maybe a game or 2 this year.

All I remember is Dooley saying in early 2010 that he wasn't interested in re-recruiting players (meaning only Brown) already on the squad.

Watching 30 on 30's Marcus Dupree story, Barry Switzer said his handling of Marcus was the biggest mistake of his coaching career. Of course, he'd already won 3 NCs and 5 Big 8 Championships in 10 years by then.

So, what was Dooley thinking? Or didn't he have a chance?

Dooley. hahahahahahahahaha

 

[Sharriscgcs]

May want to research that a bit. He did go to KSU to play with his brother.

 

[jaxvol69]

Does it matter now? It would not have helped him anyway.

 

[SlyStone]

Um, no.

I stand corrected, too much nog over the Holiday.

 

[DeerPark12]

You tried to blame Bray for Chaney's playcalling.

Chaney called passes instead of runs.

Get over it, you're wrong.

Chaney called short passes, Bray threw bombs to receivers that weren't supposed to get the ball. What's so hard about that to understand? That's not blame, that's fact.

Why is a short crossing route a less reasonable play call than a run up the middle when we consistently could not run the ball in short yardage situations?

Get over it, you're wrong.

You're picking a fight for no apparent reason.

 

[Mr.Fister]

the only thing dooley managed to keep is a losing record

 

[VolsRule]

Bryce's dad was not happy with dooley---it didn't work.

 

[Negateer]

Chaney called short passes, Bray threw bombs to receivers that weren't supposed to get the ball. What's so hard about that to understand? ?

Chaney called passes on short yardage situations, even in games where we were averaging over 6 yards a run.

What's so hard to understand?

His playcalling sucked. Stop trying to blame Bray for that.

You're picking a fight for no apparent reason.

The reason is very apparent, some goober blaming Bray for chaney's ignorant playcalling.

 

[Negateer]

Bryce is a gold digger, nothing more.

lol, wut? :crazy:

Says a guy that has never met him and knows nothing about him past what he read on a message board.

 

[DeerPark12]

Chaney called passes on short yardage situations, even in games where we were averaging over 6 yards a run.

Oh really? What game would that have been? Only had two games where we averaged more than 5.5 yards per carry.

We ran for 6.3 yards/carry against Mississippi State, the majority of that in the second half with the Bulldogs in a prevent defense. Take out CP's reverse and the average drops under 6.

We rushed for 6.48 yards/carry against Troy and won that one.

The fact that you continue to ignore in every post is that we struggled to run the ball in the short yardage situations you say we should have continued to be running in all season long. Averaged just over a yard per rush on third down over the season. Yet we should have been doing it more?

 

[bigorange247]

So, dooley and brown are both history. Let's look forward not backward. We now have a coach who wants to be here and hopefully he will recruit running backs who want to be here too.

 

[Negateer]

Oh really? What game would that have been? Only had two games where we averaged more than 5.5 yards per carry.

Yup, and at the moment where he passed on 3rd and short, costing us the game, we WERE AVERAGING over 6 yards a carry.

Mmmmkay?

p.s. So you're agreeing that on a game where we averaged 5.5 yards a carry, he passed on third and short?

That in itself qualifies him for idiot of the year award.

Says a guy that has never met him and knows nothing about him past what he read on a message board.

I've met him, and know quite a lot about him.

:hi:

You, on the other hand, haven't, and don't.

You once again ignored the fact that we averaged just over 1 yard per carry on 3rd down. I still can't understand why you would want to continue doing something that consistantly didn't work all season.

Of course, if you think our offense is what cost us wins this season, you need your head examined.

I've met him, and know quite a lot about him.

:hi:

I seriously doubt that. I spent a great deal of time with Bryce during the time he was at Tennessee, and the person I know is far different from the one you describe. I wish he had been strong enough to make his own decisions on his football career, but he wasn't. He ultimately wanted to please his father and family. In the end, he made it to have success in the NFL, which was and is his dream, so I'm very happy for him.

Still, questioning the character of someone that so heavily embraced community service, hospital visits, team events, Bible study and academics is wrong and irresponsible on your part. You would be very hard-pressed to find a teammate from Tennessee with a negative word to say about him.
