I think dooley is probably the worst thing to ever happen to these players. But, they have stayed strong...it's inspiring.

Bray said, when we didn't have a team meeting Sunday, we knew that coach Dooley would be here for the remainder of the season.


Is it my raging hormones, or does anyone see a problem there?

I think most of the players like Dooley and the team has played hard. No quit

But, how many times have we seen him throw them under the bus to save his own skin? How many of our record-shattering losses are directly his fault? If you really think about, dooley is probably the worst thing to have happened to them in their football career. Other than unforseeable injuries. Right? The dude should be a tv lawyer, not a ball coach. He's right up there with steven a. burroughs...what a superficial, vain nutbar

I feel bad for these guys and wish that they could have been here for the good times. They will always be VFL's!

A lot of positives. If everything could just settle down for these players, it would be even more positive. I'm torn about next season... but if there is a another change for these kids, some of them will have gone through several different schemes.

Its very childest and immature to say the least.
Why cant you let just one thread be about what it was started for..........the players.
DD has done the best he knew how and it just has not worked out. No reason to bash and belittle him in every single thread. Show a little maturity and humility, its addictive...........

They definitely have not quit-- you have to hand it to them, they have matured over the past couple of years... this experience will definitely help them out in life when they face challenges

On a side note, I don't think many realize just how much the rotation of coaches/position coaches affects the development of these kids as players. There's no telling how good some of these kids could have been if kept in the same system running the same schemes with the same personell.

Because the players are way more mature than some of the posters here.

I don't see much of an issue; just because he's the coach the rest of the season doesn't mean he'll be the coach after the season is over.

Imagine going to work for a company and before you ever get turned loose to actually do your job, you get trained by four different people to do it. Yeah. That's what they're dealing with. And we wonder why we don't have more success.

I would imagine that getting a scholarship to UT is probably the best thing to ever happen to the guys in their football careers. To have to play during the most horrid state the program has probably ever seen is unfortunate, but I believe the state of the program, especially this year, is overwhelmingly dooley's fault. Therefore I conclude that dooley is the worst thing to ever happen to the players. All players face adversity during their tenure, but when it comes at the hands of complete and utter coaching incompetence? Where is the flaw in my logic?

I wish these guys were better developed. They came to Tennessee to play for a major d1 team and we haven't given then a winning experience.

Sounds to me like the lack of the Sunday meeting was another let down to him.. Dooley is his arch enemy..
