More leakage, painting a picture here........


The Dooley Debate Rages At UT; Sources Claim He Talked Buyout Last Year

Before this is over with, Dooley may be more hated than Kiffin.

 

[volatil]

He wanted out??? He's a quitter! But wanted his buyout. The plot thickens. Too many people say he's a nice guy. This article dispels that.

I don't know about nice, personally, but seems classy. I think that's what people mean.

 

[JayVols]

None - they believe he will stay here for ever and a fully poised for the possibility that they may not win an NC every year - just most years.

IOW - still delusional

Not surprised.

 

[CourtJester]

Of course they know. Remember the much lauded team meeting last week......

I have to admit the quotes from the two players (Stone and I can't remember the second one) saying they weren't playing for their coach's job but were essentially playing "for the team" were very odd. Not so much for what was said but for what was not said--not a word of support for Dooley or any reference to him of any kind.

If Dooley knows he is an idiot for putting his health at risk. The hip problem is good way to bow out without losing too much face.

There's no way.

anyone going to tune into the weekly presser just in case something comes out?

 

[hohenfelsvol]

There's only a couple people I trust, and one of them seems to think you know what you're talking about. I was just saying I'll wait to hear that story from another source before I buy into it too much.

You have friends?

I'd kick his arse out the door right now just for that.:yes:

I think OV just helped dispel that myth.

Not in the football forum

That is his public persona.....nobody in the AD thinks he's very "nice".

 

[Oldvol75]

The word leakage takes me in a different direction

It was phrased that way just for you!

 

[HausVol]

Just spoke with a player at work from back in the day EVERYONE here would know, at least everyone that doesn't think Andy Kelly and Heath Schuler are ancient lol. He said after the clock management at halftime he went home and finished it on the TV. He was very emotional in telling how embarrassing this is to him and other players. He did say, "Well at least its over". Said he has heard the Gruden rumblings but doesnt know anything about that but that is would be great.

I played with Andy in high school. What is he now 31 yrs old LOL

The laundry will be aired out soon enough

Dooley has already cost me a TV this year, now the Serta is in danger

 

[JayVols]

I do feel for him if he knows he is gone, How much would it suck to have to do the TV show, the Monday presser, Volcalls for a fans base that already cost you your job. I would be afraid I would flip out and tell em all to eff off.

Not to be picky, but he cost himself his job.

 

[calebvolfan]

I cant stay away from this thread. Some great stuff in here.

Precisely. It was not a Dooley support meeting. They were trying to rally around each other. It coincided with Dooley being notified.

 

[pattiycake]

There's no way.

We will see...let's let it play out.
