How much more flesh do you need from a good guy who just couldn't get it done?

Dooley at least has some class left.... the same can't be said for you.

All this faux-class being exuded by a few fans does nothing to me.

Your analysis of Hostess employees "failing" was so far off the mark I couldn't even comment in the football forums.

Dooley has been embarrassed because he was blessed with an opportunity a handful of people get to have (and one he wouldn't have been give without his last name) and he couldn't live up to it. It's shameful, and yet no great shame.

It is actually disrespectful to not acknowledge his colossal failure. Vol fans from Memphis to Bristol should be coining the next "Third and Chavis" or "Phil" in honor of Dooley.

This made me LOL. Sends chills up my leg too remembering how he was not only a bad coach, but literally an azzhole to a man to everyone he worked with at TN.

(I felt bad about derailing your thread, Insunseri. It was a great one.)

It wasn't your fault. I was content to just let it die until I just saw a particularly ignorant post that I had to respond to. But yeah, I'm done with that thread at this point.

Merge if necessary, Mods, but there is no getting around it: Derek Dooley is a Tennessee Legend.

It's for all the wrong reasons, but the man got his big time coaching experience OJT on our dime to the tune of $11M USD. He compared us to the Nazi army; he said the team couldn't wash without him; he said the players never executed what he had in his head.

Some want to "move on", but get real. He is part of Tennessee's folklore now.

For the next generation, whenever the Vols screw-up (and they will), people should and will say, "Did Dooley call that?... Did someone let Dooley back in Neyland??"

He is the worst coach in our history. We let Mike "Hambone" Hamilton fire Phil Fulmer before the end of the season (and I say again, Phil would have been 7 - 6 at the end of 2008, with quality continuity for Crompdaddy without Hambone), and choose the successor to our HoF coach who brought us the Decade of Dominance, and who had rekindled his fire in 2008 as his Top 5 recruiting class demonstrated, complete with a better college QB than Tyler Bray, which is saying a lot.

Dooley's a big boy. And Vol fans have the right to slam and rag on him until folks from Memphis to Bristol forget how KY beat us with a WR at QB or how Vandy absolutely humiliated us.

There actually has been worse...

Often times it helps for some people to focus on other peoples failures. That way they don't have to focus on how F'ed up their own lives are.

I wish yall would let Derek Dooley go in peace!! half of ya'll on here dont know the first thing about coaching or running a program. Quick to forget that he took the job when nobody worth a crap wanted it. As A true VOL fan, I am very grateful for the job he did restoring respect to a once proud program. He was a class act in every way. Improved the program in evey area that needed to be addressed from the "Lame" Kiffin era. Just couldn't get the big win to get over the hump in the SEC. Be grateful and MOVE ON!!!!

For all involved, I am not trying to be disrespectful to Dooley.

Nevertheless, the OP has a point. Does anyone here actually think we're never gonna hear Vols fans bring up Dooley's name when something goes wrong in the future? C'mon man!! We're dealing with people here, and people don't forget things like this easily. We have people on this very board that still talk about Bill Battle and the failings of even Majors and Fulmer.

I admire what Dooley tried to do. I hope he has a chance to improve his legacy as a coach at another school one day (not at our expense). But, as far as UT is concerned, many will always consider him the worst coach we've ever had.

Dooley will be a name that lives in infamy. I am so glad that era is over. It has been a nightmare.

I can guarantee you one thing.....

Saban, Richt, Spurrier, Miles among others sure hope you're right. They'd like nothing more for UT to do than to hire Fulmer back.

I can guarantee you another....

There are a lot of lower-tier D1 schools and probably a few D2 schools whose AD's would be happy to not continually hear from Fulmer every time a decent coaching job opens up. Lets see, he threw his hat into the ring at Kansas, Louisville, Kentucky,...did I miss any? None allowed him past the first cut.

We will see now that his buyout is over. I have no idea if he wants to coach but he is way better than a lot out there.

Cody Pope disagrees with your premise. You and I both know the OP is correct with the Dooleyisms that will come in the future.

Well if you are going just on winning % then there is a few. the very early years UT had some pretty bad teams.. why they were I dont know.. coaching.. players.. would have to do some research on that but you can look up some of the records and they werent good. And some people around would prob say Bill Battle was the worse coach ever.. things got worse while he was the coach

That's the whole point.

HE SHOULDN'T BE GONE.

He is a Tennessee Legend, and he should be remembered as such. It might not be the most pleasant way to be remembered, but there you go. He got $11M out of the deal, and some high quality OJT. "Letting it go" is disrespectful to his time here.

why don't you just buy a poster of dooley for your wall and leave the rest of us out of it?

Dooley was a necessary step. Best of luck to him in the future. Time for volnation to look toward the future.

Rumors out of AL is that Saban is hiring this appaerently crappy coach. He must be awfully stupid if he is going to hire this guy. Man can't believe dooley fell off so low after getting fired and having to take a position on sabans staff. If it is true Bama must be going down.

Let's go Vols!!!
