Dooley and Dez Bryant

If I was Jerry Jones, I'd be pretty happy with that interaction. Everybody should be pissed when things aren't working. That's what you should be doing on the sideline.

Dooley would be just fine as an offensive coordinator somewhere. He's not the greatest guy in the world, not the worst. Glad he has a job he likes and I wish him well. Props for the VFL program, the MMA cage and all his contributions to the new facilities. Wish we weren't still paying him.

All he's proven so far is that he can't be charged with a top 5 all time college football program and have success. There are a lot of better coaches than him who are in that company.

Dooley's tenure here was a disaster and I am soooooo glad he is gone. But a lot of people here and elsewhere bring up every little nick picking incident and make a big deal out of everything so they can say----see, see, see Dooley screwed up this or that. He is gone, I am glad, but to keep bringing him up is really childish.

For me, I had just as soon forget about him and his 3 years as coach.

Dooley caused his own problems. If you run a business and piss everyone off around you then everyone begins to go against you. TN high school coaches even pushed players to other programs out of state just so we couldn't have them. Dooley got a job as a head coach because of his last name. He was supposed to be right the opposite of Kiffin, and he was supposed to be disciplined and a great game manager. Every where Dooley has been they always get better once he leaves. LA Tech did and now we are better. That has to tell you something about his coaching and his ability to get players to go all out. I've never talked to one person who has meet Dooley that didn't say he's an arrogant POS. I know some big donors at UT and all of them hated Dooley, and I'm not bluffing on this. You take it for what you want, but ppl outside VolNation did not respect UT because of Dooley and the big time donors knew it. Dooley will in my eyes go down as the worst UT hire in the history of UT football. He's a joke simple as that.

Kiffin was opposite of Fulmer and Dooley was opposite of Kiffin and Jones is opposite of Dooley.

Like a dog chasing cars in downtown New York.

Dez has a lot of talent, but is an immature diva. If he had sat beside Romo and spoke with him in an adult fashion, he would have had a much better chance to get his point across. Dez was mostly mad because Megatron was beating the brakes off of him after Dez ran his mouth by calling him out. Nothing good ever comes of a WR screaming at his QB, coaches and other teammates in front of the whole world.

First time I've heard Dooley speak in awhile.

Did not enjoy it.

Weird hearing his voice again. Sucks, but all I had was negative feelings when I heard it.

Glad he's gone but don't hate him. He was the only one willing to walk into our s@#* storm of a program at the time.

Thanks for clarifying. At first I thought you were referring to another football program.

Let's see here. We have a man who grew up with a father who was a very successful SEC coach, was a star tight end on a 4A State Champion football team in Georgia, a starting wide receiver for an ACC Champion football team and played in the Senior Bowl, a first team Academic All-ACC selection, got a Bachelor's Degree in Government and Business Affairs at UVA, a law degree( J.D. from Univ. of Georgia), practiced law for 2 years, was a wide receivers coach for 3 years at SMU, a tight ends and running backs coach at LSU for 5 years, 2 years as position coach for the Miami Dolphins, 2 years as Athletic Director at La. Tech, 6 years as a college head football coach, and you say that he is "pretending he knows what he is doing."

The man is very intelligent and has many, many years of experience. He knows exactly what he is doing. It didn't work out for him here like you would like, but grow up and get over it.

437 catches
3,587 yards
38 TDs

in just 47 games

Three winning seasons, including 13-3 in 2007.

Yeah, that'll work.

I'm guessing Jerry knew that TO had, and Dez Bryant has, an ego almost half as large as Jerry's. :)

Dooley was thrown into the SEC before he was ready and he could never keep a staff together to have offensive and defensive schemes work.

WOWOWOW. I think you took it a bit too seriously, I was just joking around man. I am still not afraid to admit that until the very end I liked Dooley.

That was really not directed at you in particular. I responded to your post because it was just more negative Dooley stuff. There is so much hate on here for him, and he never had the luxury of any senior leadership on a team, and he had to coach a team made up of recruits of 3 different coaches. There was very little chance for success. Was he a great coach? Probably not.

I think that he tried to emulate Saban. Saban is a first class jerk, but he gets by with it because he wins. Saban was so hated by his coaching staff from Michigan State, that when he took the LSU coaching job, he sent an airplane to East Lansing to pick up his Mich St coaching staff, and NONE of the nine or whatever assistants would board the plane. I think Dooley was Saban without the wins.

I figure that you would chime in. I am not a Dooley apostle. He had his shot. He's gone. I just do not understand the hate. He did his best, considering he had no senior leadership on any team. Fulmer's last full class and Kiffin's only full class were almost complete failures. He wasn't here long enough to coach his own senior class. Why is it such a hard concept to understand?

I don't see a huge difference in won/loss records between any of the last 4 coaching staffs for the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and so far this year.

I see some improvement this year, but I saw some under Kiffin and some under Dooley. Why the constant bashing of a man who is no longer here? He did not ruin the program . It was already ruined or we could have hired a better coach.
