Have you watched UT football the past 10 years? Our football program is "snake bit." From 2000-2011 we have won 3 bowl games and havent won an SEC title since 1998. Dooley came into a situation that no other coach would because they knew our program was in piss poor condition.

Stop, stop, stop! The reason some coaches didn't come was timing and money. There were plenty of proven winners from schools on La Tech's level that would have come for 2 mill. Bigger name coaches wanted money Hamilton wouldn't pay. Two weeks before NSD didn't 't help either. DD didn't do us any favor by coming to a top school and doubling his pay when his record hadn't warranted such a promotion. He saw his one BCS opportunity and ran with it. He wasn't gonna get a look from any other top 10 program.

The differences between a good coach and a great one may be subtle, but they can make a world of difference to his players. While knowledge of the game, ability to demonstrate drills and organizational skills are important, here are five traits that separate the best from the rest.

Humility – Every coach wants to win games, but not at the expense of skill development. Great coaches realize it’s about the team, not the man behind the bench. The best coaches don’t measure their success by their trophy case, but by the smiles on their players’ faces, their improvement on the ice and their passion for the game.

Compassion – Great coaches take the time to get to know their players, on and off the ice. If the coach makes the effort to listen, understand and treat players with respect, they will return the favor. Great coaches know that their team is only as strong as its weakest player and works hard to give every player the chance to improve his or her skills.

Communication – A coach can have all the technical knowledge
in the world but if he can’t communicate and teach effectively, the knowledge is useless. Clear communication stems from realizing how each player learns and tailoring the information to reach its intended target. The best coaches are able to deliver criticism and praise in a way that players will take to heart.

Passion – When a coach has a passion for the game and the team, it makes the experience a positive one for everyone involved. Excitement for the game and improvement is contagious, and if the coach has it the whole team will catch it. However, the same goes for negativity. If a coach acts up on the bench, there’s a good chance his players will do likewise on the ice. The apple, as they say, never falls far from the tree.

Leadership – Great coaches give their teams direction and motivation to help them to reach their goals. They have a plan, are organized and find a way to encourage their teams to believe and work together. The best coaches are those that will lead an enthusiastic, excelling, growing team by personal example.

Like what?

mismanaging timeouts

Recruiting middle of the pack for the conference

Making bad fourth down calls

Bad mouthing players and not taking responsibility

A thread from TOS that I've been wanting to try and articulate on these forums but don't have the post count to do so.

This comparison has been swirling around in my head for months now.

For those that don't want to click, it's a pretty sound comparison of Dooley's and Saban's first years as a head coach.

Snatching defeat from the jaw of victory against LSU, due to 13 men on the field.

Janzen Jackson.

Celebrating a music bowl victory over North Caro....wait, nevermind.

Hunter goes down to a season-ending knee injury within minutes of the Florida game starting. We wind up losing to probably the worst Florida team in the last 15 years.

Getting curb-stomped by Alabama, LSU, Arkansas.

Partying like its 1924 when we beat Vanderbilt in OT.

Losing to Kentucky for the first time since 1984, when Michael Jordan was a rookie in the NBA.

Doing an about face on the Arnett situation.

Having your best players, Rogers and Bray, cause real concerns about their desire to win and their work ethic.

Having your Defensive Coordinator and most effective recruiter leave 1 month before National Signing day for the same positions at a mid-level PAC 12 school.

Having two losing seasons in a row.

Having a losing record at Louisiana Tech and Tennessee.

Speculation that Kevin Steele is your big Defensive Coordinator hire, right before his offense gives up 70 points in a high profile bowl game. (It could have been a lot, lot worse).

Making 1.8 Million dollars a year for all of the above.

Enough said. Rating of 8.5.
