You guessed it. Dooley! Just wanted to add to the list of inferior coaches we have had. I find it incredibly hard to accept that all these good coaches have gone everywhere but Knoxville. I don't get it.

Muschamp isn't exactly lighting the world on fire.

But Saban's coaching tree is looking pretty impressive.

Pretty easy. Dooley walked into a mess that was starting to turn around somewhat early the second year with 45-23 victory over Cincinnati. Hunter got hurt against Florida, leaving only one threat at receiver. Team went into shock. Team faced brutal part of schedule. Gave up.

All of the defensive staff and half of the offensive staff quit at the end of the year. Third year, all new defensive coaches and scheme.Solid offense because of consistency with scheme and retention of players. Could have been a good year with previous defensive staff. Dooley gets replaced. Start all over.

I feel like Dooley came in before he was ready. A few more years at La Tech and experience I think he could've been a good coach. Tennessee is just not a place where you can learn on the job

He kinda sucked there too. He seemed to have some seriously bad luck at UT. The LSU/UNC losses were unbelievable.

My goodness that's the most absurd, unrealistic rose-colored painting of the Dooley era I've ever seen. Grad, he should hire you to write his biography. Or ghost-write his supposed autobiography, anyway.

It strikes me how much Dooley apologists sound like Obama apologists. Whether you are a TN fan or not, and whether you are a Democrat or not, it makes no sense to cover for people who are destroying the very things that they are given stewardship over. When you are made rich and famous in exchange for preserving and protecting a great institution, but then you manage to set it back YEARS with your destructive self-absorbed narcissistic reign/dictatorship, then you deserve to be removed and held accountable. That's true in football, government, business, academia - everywhere.

Dooley set our entire athletic department back financially and competitively, and it will take several years to recover on both fronts.

He did hurt the program way more than anything positive he did. I wonder how that was allowed to happen though. It's one thing to simply lose but how and why destroy the program?

How dare you look at the big picture of our program at the time and make a statement that is so rational. Everybody knows the state of our program is completely Dooley's fault.

Agreed. I think Dooley and Kiffin jumped ahead way too early and paid the price.

Isn't it the head coaches job to keep the team motivated not to quit? Especially with a bowl berth in the line against the worst team in the SEC and a WR at QB.

Dooley was an abject failure. Period.

Dooley was a good dude, just bad football coach I blame the AD more than Dooley for the mess DD was about the 4th or 5th choice, when KIFFEN left the local dude at the YMCA turned our job down, till the day I die I think DD WENT TO THE 3-4 DEFENCE so he would get fired.

I think that he did want out of here, and you may very well be correct.

First of all, I would never apologize for Obama. Even though he didn't walk into a great situation, I do believe that he has made it worse.

Secondly, exactly which part of my "unrealistic rose-colored painting of the Dooley era" is false?

A lot of guys were just position coaches for saban, like sal and dools. They are given shots because of proximity to saban. Fisher was an O coordinator and actually coached that part of the team. He was good at Auburn too. Muschamp was D coordinator...so he basicly stood back and watched saban coach the defence. His Ds were not that great in Texas imo, which is where he really coached "on his own". Jurys almost back on him, but he just needs a competent OC.

They're all on the same team; it's called the 'elite, live by our own set of rules' team. Wish the public would realize this and bring about demise to both the parties
