Dooley's symbolic resignation letter sent during the Missouri game...

[Hacksaw]

Dooley threw in the towel when he let the clock run out at the end of both the first and second halves of the Mizzou game. Until then, I was ready to give him the benefit of the doubt. But I saw those decisions as proof that even he has given up and realized that the end is at hand.

Am I the only one who had that thought?

Nope, you are not the only one.

:unsure:.....:no:

When he sai in the post-game press conference that he just "didn't have confidence that we could execute well enough to get it done", I knew he knew and was acknowledging his own failure to instill confidence in our team.

The clock hates us?

He gave it away

 

[VolStrom]

Dooley made the biggest "I want my 5 million dollar bailout" statement when he sat the offense at the end of regulation.

 

[HerdnVols]

Why would he have faith in our offense. I mean according to espn sec player rankings we only have the #1 Quaterback and the #3 and #9 wide recievers.

It was a bad decision, no doubt. I hate to see people lose their job, even if they get good compensation, but I'm looking forward to a brand new coach with new ideas. We need to start winning again. The fans were great during the Missouri game. They applauded the first half effort of the VOLS, so you can't say we gave up on them. It's just not working with Dooley. We need to win some SEC games.

I hate us... what did I just say? That felt good to say. But I think I hate us now, too... ugh... sad...

Just like we do not have confidence in his coaching and getting it done.

No, I was thinking, "WTF is this moron doing? Are you F****** KIDDING ME?? What a damn dumba$$, this has to be a damn joke!!!!"............

That was my turning point as well. My wife had to calm me down in the middle of the stadium because I was so obnoxiously enraged.

You weren't alone sir. Apparently the boos were obvious on television.

I talked to my father today, and he said it looked like Dools wanted to find a place to hide while the whole stadium booed him.

Same here, I was willing to grant him 1 more year IF he at least improved the record over last year. We are no where near what I want us to be yet, but there is measurable improvement. Not everyone can get the perfect storm that bama had and be an almost overnight turn around. BUT yesterday changed that. HE gave up, HE quit on this team. He did exactly what he called out the players for, the same thing he embarrassed them over. That is exactly not what we need. By quitting like that he has forfeited any right to be coach. I don't care if he wins the next 2 days 50-0 and crushes a bowl opponent 100-0, it is over. As stated above he threw in the towel.

The bray pooch kick was the worst call of the game, IMO

I was at the game, the loudest the place had been all day was the booing at that point. It was deafening.

I almost drove up there and kicked him in the nuts when he decided to let time run out at the end of regulation. I thought Bray was gonna get benched when he got so mad at Dooley when he didn't give him a shot at winning the game.

I actually agreed with the decision. He would have had to throw the ball on the next down and had that not gotten the first down it would have given the ball back to Mizzou with 25ish seconds on the clock. Palardy would have proceeded to boom a 20 yard punt and Franklin would have completed a 70 yard pass on 4th and 20 to win the game. At least overtime gave them a chance.

And yet Dooley still managed to lose the game.
