In the End, Were There Any CDD Supporters Left?

I was giving him a chance through the loss to South Carolina, they played pretty good against the ranked teams of Miss State, Georgia, and South Carolina. They gave up in the Florida game and 'Bama blew them away.

When they barely beat Troy coming from behind then the loss to Missouri, I switched band wagons. Vandy was the final nail.

I think the expectations were high due to his last name (Dooley) but the father does not always make the son. My father was a master horseman and trainer .... though many people thought I would be also, I chose a different route of life and didn't try to compete with my father's image. Worked out well.

Integrity....this guy let Da'Rick do whatever the hell he wanted until he didn't need him anymore, that's not integrity.

We had one of the worst team GPA's in the SEC at one of the weakest academic schools in the SEC, that's not integrity.

He had more excuses and never held himself accountable for anything, that's not integrity.

By "stocking the shelves", he was able to add more players than when he got there. Considering he had like 55 he arrived, that's just common sense.

Wake up people.

This right here.

His integrity card got revoked when he let Rogers run off Baggett and he kept Jackson around as long as possible.

Says a lot that the team actually looked like they were having fun and playing loose under Chaney yesterday.

And how many players came out in ardent support of him other than Tiny(for reasons not related to football)?

The guy was a bigger jackass than most of us wanted to admit. Go back and look up the comments from his former players at La Tech.

He just had a good quote for every press conference and was able to get in our good graces as we were desperate for a winner.

I wish these assistant coaches and players that are moving on the best.

Dooley? I could care less, enjoy the buyout and your fleeting moment in the sun.

After slapping NC State, I couldn't help thinking "maybe we are on the right track" but after the send half collapse versus Florida I realized we'd be seeing the same garbage. I truly believe with good coaching the talent on this roster could have won eight games.

It's a shame Hart kept him after the UK game last year, even though at the time I thought it was the right thing to do. I was wrong, 2012 was a wasted season.

No love for CDD I think Vince and Richt planted him to make Sure UGA competed for the East every year...oh did i sound like Conspiracy Theory Vol? oops..... CDD made poor gameplan decisions throughout his tenure in Knoxville, im not sad to see him go, I'm always a Fulmerite not a Dooleyaid drinker.

And for the answer to the thread, I don't think any TN fan was upset when Dooley was fired. If someone says differently, I don't believe you.

I agree. Im ready to put the whole Dooley era behind and lets support our new coach whoever that may be.

He would have been gone a year earlier...also, Dooley was a desperation hire. why would we fire Fulmer and hire LA tech's coach with a losing record?

Hiring a losing coach just reflects the detached, clinical attitude/outlook of a delusional Mike Hamilton. Firing Fulmer, who had the program on the downward slide that hopefully might soon end, is easily understandable based on his last 7-10 years of mediocrity.

How anyone supported this fool after last year's debacle in Lexington is beyond me. I have never understood the idea of "I'll support whoever is the coach" mentality. I mean, you'll support a coach debilitating your beloved program simply for the sake of being a good soldier until the end? If you do, then you get the type of program you deserve.

At some point, though, people must have stopped and thought to themsleves that, in the time Dooley was here, he won only one SEC game that was not against Vandy or Kentucky.

One. Game.

How you could say this guy needed more chances or did well by the Vols in any way is beyond me. If you need any further confirmation, talk to anyone who had to deal with him. Talk to a former player. They all saw this coming from a mile away.

Dooley did ok in the end he got about 10 million dollars off the University of Tennessee and came in with a losing record. It was amazing that a guy with a losing record could demand that kind of money. What did we get for all that money more losing.

I wish he hadn't brought so much integrity that our DB's are so nice to the WR's and let them run open!

he brought integrity back are blind to what intergrity actually is. his players had off the field issues like everyone. darick, clear, bonner.....he did not upgrade the roster or we wouldn't have such a slow dumb defense and especially the DB's who are terrible. LB's not much better. he was the wrost hire in our history and we waited to long to fire the no recruiting idiot. the facts don't lie. 1-7, 0-7....any yet people say we are better. clueless.

Hitler had his supporters in an underground bunker at the bitter end (until they all killed themselves).

Actually, Hitler had supporters even after the formal end of WWII. They roamed the countryside and committed acts of terrorism until the German folks, already fed up with war, began turning them in to the occupying forces. Skinheads and neo-Nazi groups still worship Austrian supreme racist today.

Now, as for CDD, I was a supporter until Hart made it official he was fired. Thus he was no longer a UT coach. While I still wish him nothing but the best, I let go then and there. I'm anxious to see who will be our next coach.
