What's the skinny on Fued Revez...

Back in the day, the feet of Fuad issued a fiat. And that's no small feat for a foot.

Feuding with Fuad is futile.

I have never understood why Dooley was so repelled by the idea of having alums around the program. Part of why he's not a head coach anymore.

It is against the NCAA rules to have had him do what he was offering iirc.

Also, iirc dooley did have some players around. He just wanted some order to it. Not just have them drop by without him knowing. When someone takes over a biz in the situation he took over UT it's not really surprising that he didn't want people coming around so willy nilly.

I'm pretty sure the guy isn't that incompetent. U don't have guys like Saban or Garrett consider an incompetent bafoon as a good friend. I'd kind of take those guys take on him over a bunch of ecoaches. Not saying the guy was perfect but let's face it this fan base is pretty bipolar.

The last 3 years didn't convince you?

I must have missed when Saban offered Dooley a higher position on his coaching staff.

Didn't want competent accomplished former players there to witness his utter lack of competence IMO

Should one focus not on the fear of feuding with Fuad , but on the futility and frivolity of showing favoritism to Fuad?

Futile Feuding With Fuad Fuels Fires Within Former Vols

Fuad's foes must be fuming over the flock of fertile femme fatales fawning at the feet of Fuad.

Former feuds with Faud have formed fascinating football fights?

:)

This is FUN FUN FUN.......... but a bit F'd up

The guy might know football (I'm not convinced that he does) but he had some serious lack of people skills for a head coach of a major program. Besides irritating former players, why else would you not make contact with key HS coaches around the state?? And I'm not talking about during his final days, go check up the Chatt paper indicating he never visited any HS coaches there or in N. Georgia during his time at UT.

This was actually a good thing for the local high schools I'll bet. Bad for UT recruiting though.........

Fuad doesn't mince words. He's an emotional guy thoroughly ticked off at how Dooley handled the program in his 3 years here.

When I listen to him on the radio, including last night, it's obvious he feels like the majority of Vols fans after watching our beloved Football team suffer 3 consecutive losing seasons for the first time since the freakin Wilson administration. There was no reason why it had to happen given the resources and support at UT (fan support that is, not so much administration... different story for another day).

Throw in his apparent disdain for High school coaches and former players and you get these types of reactions from lovers of program/Alumni like Fuad.

Loved watching him kick. Used to watch him and the punter compete with each other to see who could get the ball into the back of a moving pick up at the far side of the field. Fun times.

There is so much time in a day man. That's the way I look at his time at UT. He had sooooo much to deal with from dealing with from day 1...the NCAA on campus, to player issues, an AD on his last leg, etc etc And everything that had to do with the shambles that the Program and frankly the Athletic Dept was in. People need to realize that it wasn't just a program fix that needed to be done. Something CBJ hasn't had to deal with since he got to UT, and is getting paid a lot more too. CBJ may need to do some rebuilding in the program, but the dig difference is that Dooley had to deal with the rebuilding of the whole AD. "Functional Silos can be dysfunctional" is somewhat a way I look at it.

He also was in a major deficit when it came to players on the team. I'm sorry for hurting people's feelings but in-state TN talent isn't worth focusing on as some may wish. So he pissed them off?? He needed to go and get players he thought/knew he needed to compete in the SEC. And that's what he did. Point blank. Not that difficult to see that he had to do that, and was working on it. I can care less if he kissed the feet of the HCs in the weakest HS talent bed in the south, and up there nation wide. He focused on where he knew he could and had access....the ATL area. Again so much time in a day to get everything done, keep everyone happy, and he needed to focus on that. He obviously did deal with TN HS coaches where he felt he needed to as he got Sanders out of Paris. Yall are just flaming out on the guy based on people who are bias. You aren't hearing or taking into account the coaches he did deal with. I take MzTerry and her feelings about the guy over any bitter coach that couldn't get his foot in the door to sell an inferior product.

UT is a national recruiter for a reason yall, and he needed to keep that up. I understand CBJ is focusing on TN, which is good but concerning. Is he doing it just to make the coaches feel better, fans in the state feel better, or because he has no real solid contacts into the major hotbeds?? Dooley did, and needed to hit the ground running too with it.

He also came into TX and tried to lay ground work here which is good and smart. He had ties here and he used them, so he's incompetent because of things like that?? That's ridiculous. All I know is that not many guys are able to get an NFL HC to wear a Tennessee workout jacket to brunch with his wife in one of the most talent rich areas in the country. And that's something I saw with my own eyes, and a waste that it won't happen again imo. And I HATE the cowgirls too.

Just all imho that's all...

tell Vince we said hello too!

I searched the UT roster, and the only Sanders I could find was Austin Sanders out of Cleveland. Maybe that's who you were referring to, but Cleveland is a long way from Paris, and Austin Sanders is a true freshman, meaning he was a part of CBJ's recruiting class, not Doolittle's.

Answer me this. If Dooley was doing such a good job recruiting nationwide versus instate, then why is Jones having such a better recruiting class both instate and out of state than Dooley ever did. Dooley was so much busier than Jones???? I don't buy it.

I don't hate Dooley. He's a smart guy. Rubbed people the wrong way, including former players and players on the team. But you defend him like he was doing soooooo much for UT. Is he your brother?
