No. but winning ensures your job. I hate when people try to make losing better than it is.

Since when is the football team winning or losing something you think you know something about? You run your mouth all week about winning the next game but all you do is wake up and turn the game on, come on man!

wow this thread as been a mess...to be honest im glad dooley gone...if u can't take a school like tennessee and win some games then there is a problem...and don't say we dont have the players cause we all know we do...dooley had no control of his team at the end of the day...if he did...bray would be holding a clip board...throwing beer bottles,cussing at players, etc...just to name a few and there a few other players that have messed up also...that being said dooley a great guy, got a heart of gold...just don't think he has what it takes to be a winning head coach...so id like to say thanks for your time here at tennessee dooley, enjoy some time with your family...Happy Holidays and God Bless!! Time To Move On To Our New Coach!!

Was making fun of Pope being a vegan in the media mentoring? He could support a young man that aided in the rape of his cousin, yet felt the need to belittle Pope because he didn't believe in eating meat. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Personally, I'll take a hamburger over a salad any day of the week, but to each their own.

He didn't try to help JJ. He tried to keep JJ on the team because he didn't want to lose his best defensive player. As many passes as he gave JJ, that isn't "helping" someone. Helping is actually taking action that benefits the player's health.

Save your outrage for someone who cares. I respect Dooley and what he tried to do, but I'm not gonna hero worship the man out of some demented form of survivor's guilt because he lost his job. At the end of the day, he's just a man who failed to live up to his job expectations. Respect or not, if you cannot get your job done, the result is termination. That's not an attack on Dooley, it's a simple statement of fact.

Is there an English translation for this? Also, I'm calling bs. When has CP ever said anything other than the vols have given him a great opportunity and he is happy to be here? I've watched most of his interviews and his sentiment toward UT has been consistently positive.

It means he's in fact dating or screwing whatever u call it my friend. He has said many times for him to even contemplate a return, Dooley would need to be gone.....may still go but he has for a fact said this.

Hunter, bray and patterson can leave. We were not able to win with them anyways. Right now they are not pro material. But i do wish them the best.

In the end i thought for sure they'd keep dooley until after the last game for the seniors and it being their last home game.....

Lets get it done this week and cheer for the SENIORS......GO VOLS GO SENIORS.

Vols' JaWuan James on OL coach Sam Pittman: "We're gonna go try to talk to Dave Hart and whoever we need to talk to to keep him."

Enjoyed reading the Player's comments.

Sad reading those who think they are being funny or cool to bash people they know nothing about.

Stay classy, my friends.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but when you're getting paid over two million a year, it's not just a game, it's a job. A job comes with expectations. If you don't meet those expectations, it's not surprising if you get fired. You don't pay someone that kind of money to lose. If you do, then I need to be a college fb coach.

You know what? Even if Dooley was a complete failure at coaching (he wasn't), there's his success. He made an impact on Daniel and Daniel will never forget it. Because at the end of it all, football is really unimportant compared to a life.

Your comments remind me of two points:

(1) Educators--and coaches are ultimately educators although their field of expertise is not primarily academic--have an extraordinary opportunity to transform lives, particularly those of college-aged persons, simply because that is typically a period of great personal growth.

(2) General Douglas MacArthur observed even more germanely that "On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days and other fields will bear the fruits of victory." The young men who have had the privilege and honor to wear the sacred orange and white the last three years have not witnessed combat but they most certainly have endured the gauntlet of adversity and will emerge stronger for the experience.
