The Anderson center also has Dooley's fingerprints all over it. Hamilton also left us a beautiful stadium and basketball arena. I feel like when people leave us, it means 100% of their legacy is bad. On the whole, I think both Dooley and Hamilton failed at their job, but that doesn't mean we can't give them kudos for the few good things they were able to leave behind.
If Butch heard "VFL" from Inky and decided to make it the name of our development program, we would all celebrate him for taking a great name and turning it into something bigger. Since Dooley is gone, he "ripped it off."
I don't like Dooley either, but lets be a little more balanced with our criticism.

I heard one of the Dallas Cowboy assistant coaches say on the radio the other day that "Dooley is re grouping and digesting all that he learned from being head coach of a major college program and he hopes to get another opportunity at a major program soon"
I laughed because I don't think Dooley will ever be a major programs coach again. I don't know any A.D. would risk being fired by hiring Dooley.
Dooley needs to go back to a smaller college program ie. Ball State, Furman, Toledo, Akron....... because other programs are out of his league.
Yep and he has a better record at tennessee then Butch does so far and has beat Butch in their match up.
Actually if you are talking about wins overall, yes Dooley does have a better record. If you are talking about winning percentage they have exactly the same 41.6%. Dooley got fired before the last game in 2012 and that win belongs to Jim Chaney who was interim head coach.
Dooley was 15-21 overall
Butch is 5-7 overall
Come back in 2 years and we'll see where things stand.
