As a coach, when comparing scores against common opponents who both Dooley and Butch have faced while at U.T., here are the facts.

Dooley
against Oregon: Lost by 35, Butch lost by 45
against Florida : Lost by avg. of 13.7, Butch lost by 14
against Georgia: Lost by avg. of 14, Butch lost by 3
against So. Car: Lost by avg. of 9.3, Butch won by 2
against Alabama: Lost by avg. of 31, Butch lost by 35

Add up all the point deficit against common opponents and Dooley lost by 103 point average per year against these 5 opponents. Butch lost by 95. So we have improved by 8 points total against 5 opponents. That is an average of 1.6 points per game. In the only head to head, Dooley won 45-23.

I like the new coach, and I see some improvement, but not nearly enough to make a person love one coach and hate the other. I can't hate either as a man, because I haven't met them.

Could you please add in the numbers for team morale between the two coaches?
I'm curious.

Two points:
1) Read my next to last sentence.
2) Punk players are bad for team morale.

I am just saying that there is not a night and day difference in results between the 2 coaches yet. I don't get the hate for one, versus the love for the other. I moved on from Dickey, Battle, Majors, Fulmer, Kiffin, and Dooley. I am on board, no matter who is the coach, and I harbor no ill will towards any of them. Battle and Fulmer had the easiest jobs because they were both handed the keys to a well oiled machine. The others weren't. I can't hate their guts for that. Sorry.

VolNation - one of the few places where a spoiled, hot-headed, thug of a football player decides to rant against anyone else on his team, and Vol fans would rather rag on our former coach.

Dooley sucked as our coach for sure but he is a very smart and accomplished man. Guy is an attorney and coaching wideouts with the Cowboys. Dez Bryant without football is stocking shelves at Kroger or given his "Entitlement" attitude and his propensity to beat his own Mom...in prison.

Apparently after the game they were saying that Bryant was trying to get everyone fired up about the game and momentum.

Witten was trying to calm him down apparently but Bryant was running around like an idiot. There is an article about it on Yahoo.sports.

Smells like a cover up. So Dez was running around trying to pump people up, and Witten wanted him to stop? Lol That makes sense.

Looked more to me like Dez was mad and was ready to call it quits and Witten wad like "look at the clock dumbass, there's 12 seconds left". Just a guess.

Once more the "NFL quarterback" completed less than 40% of his passes and threw 2 interceptions. The 2011 Kentucky game and the 2012 Vandy game were the worst performances by a qb against those teams the entire year.

That constitutes Bray throwing the game to get his coach fired in your eyes?

That or if I would have gotten the ball more we would have won. No way he was trying to hype them up and Witten was trying to stop him.

What your numbers don't show is how the attitude of the team has changed. Yeah, we're still losing, but we're not slinking off the field with our tails between our legs. We're not giving up and dying. And when we do get deflated, we suck it up and come back fighting.

Not everything can be quantified.

We're outmanned and outgunned, and that can't be fixed, at least not this year. But we have a ton more heart and fight, and when we get new blood in, that's going to show in the W-L record.

Why do you keep putting NFL QB in quotes? He is an NFL QB.
