C'mon Man---dont be a hater. Dooley would be very good. Davie has no voice at all. Sounds like Grandma whispering. I think Davie finally got canned/ took a coaching job.

Has nothing to do with "being a hater", it has to do with comparison. Dooley is a slow talker just like Davie and that's why I don't think he'd be good for in game commentary. Davie took forever to make a freakin' point/get his comment out and I can see Dooley being the same way.

Then put him behind a desk. Make him part of the Gameday or College Football Live crew. Hell, send granny Lou to the home and put Dooley in there with May. Perhaps that show will be decent again.

Corso is one of the very few guys that I can say was actually a worse coach than Derek.

3HL had their weekly interview with Dooly yesterday afternoon on 104.5 The Zone. Dooley did a very good job answering the questions that Travis and others asked, even though he is in a very tough spot right now. After the segment, the 3HL crew made a correlation between Corso and Dooley. Both were not very succesful head coaches, both with a wacky sense of humor, and both very good on the radio and tv. They went on to say he would be an outstanding replacement for Corso on the Gameday crew, and I actually agree with this. Thoughts?

He may have found his niche!

I believe the buyout clause says that it is only reduced if he gets another coaching job, specifically. He could draw us out for his whole 5 mill and make media money at the same time.

Corso has way more personality than Dooley. Dooley does answer questions well but he is not a great personality. Most of the time when Dooley tries to have a little personality you look him like "dude really the Germans"

Corso at least beat a ranked team..........................

....and Dooley coached in the SEC during one of the toughest times to be a coach at UT. But this thread is really not about their coaching ability, it is more about Dooley being a good tv personality on the Gameday crew.

I wouldn't want him to go to Kentucky. They could beat us one time while he's there and it would be the end of the world

I'm pretty sure if he took over UK that we would be good for another 26 year winning streak.

Maybe some of the former Sunshine pumpers and Doolaid drinkers would jump ship and become fans of a team destined for mediocrity. Seems to be what they wanted all along for us.

Win/Win for everyone I think. :)

He will be on the Alabama staff or on the Florida staff next season. He will be a special teams coach or a tight ends coach.

okay, honestly, he was pretty bad. But compared to Dooley, he was solid. I mean, he had a few good seasons at Louisville. He lost alot at Indiana, but everyone loses at Indiana. It's not like he took over a top program and led them to their worst 3 back-to-back seasons in over 100 years. Corso was bad. Dooley is next level awful.

Not so fast my friend, Corso was the highest level of awful as a head football coach. I lived in Indiana during a good portion of his IU tenure. After he was fired, he went to Northern Illinois for a year, where he won maybe 3 or 4 games.

Unlike Corso, Bill Mallory did okay at Indiana for the ten years following his first three years. If you throw away is 0-11 first year, he had an overall winning record. Indiana almost beat us in the Peach Bowl in either 1987 or 1988. IU was leading in the fourth quarter, but UT pulled it out late with a Reggie Cobb run. I watched the game with my IU friends and neighbors, who were getting ready to feed me crow and toss me into the cold. I had shot off my mouth for most of December about UT stomping IU. We barely won, 27-22. What helped to make Tennessee's win more impressive was that IU had beaten both Ohio State and Michigan during the regular season and shared a Big 10 2nd finish place with Iowa behind Michigan State. Indiana was was top 20 team the season after UT beat them in the Peach. Mallory took 6 of his teams to bowl games.

Like you said, Corso only won at Louisville. When he was there, they were in the Missouri Valley Conference. Hardly anyone, including some their own students, knew they had a football team. Louisville was irrelevant to the point of being invisible.

Corso eventually found his calling.

They'll have to get him away from Normandy Beach, where he's planting Bamboo with Ramel. But hey, that's the way it is....when you're going through the process. :)
