Lane Kiffin leaving U.T. !!!!

[Guest Bluemax]

so no one seems happy about Dooley.

Who exactly was Hamilton supposed to hire? Everyone he offered it to, and from the sounds of things he did offer it to everyone, has turned UT down.

Kid youself that they are turning Hamilton down, they are turning UT down.

Sad but true

[Guest db99wj]

I for one, think, if in fact it happens, Dooley will do fine. I'm good with it. I like the enthusiasm, as shown in the youtube stuff that he would bring. I hate when a coach sees a bad play, grimaces as if taking a dump, and goes on. Need some enthusiasm!

[Guest GenNBForrest]

hire........Kippy?! Oh .........this sucks!

[Bubba0031]

At least the General & I see eye to eye on this.

Kippy, that's who. He has close ties to UT obviously. He has the experience, the players know what to expect and the man deserves a chance to prove himself.

[Mike.357]

I understand you all thinking Brown should be the guy. But he has been a coach for how long? And he has never been a head coach before, why?

Got to be a reason.

[Guest Bluemax]

Yeah,

He should have gotten called for slapping the face mask which should have resulted in a 15 yard penatly and automatic first down.

He didn't slap the kid he slapped his helmet...remember your referring to the next coach of the freiken TENNESSE VOLUNTEERS and if this is the case I'm gonna support this guy

[Guest rj8806]

He has almost 2 decades of coaching experience (17 years I think). Hell, Kiffin had a 5-15 record(I think) when UT hired him and virtually no experience.

[Jasongar8]

I dont know alot about Dooley so I cant really form an opinion of him yet. I was pulling for Kippy though, I think he aleast deserves a shot. Hell the next few season are going to be bad anyway. I would see what he can do.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Dooley was a good ole man he lived below the mill

Dooley had two daughters and a forty gallon still

One gal watched the boiler, the other watched the spout

And momma corked the bottles when old Dooley pulled them out.

There you go.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Jan. 15, 2010

RUSTON - Louisiana Tech President Dan Reneau announced Friday that head football coach and athletic director Derek Dooley has resigned his posts effective immediately.

Dooley, hired as the head football coach at Tech Dec. 17, 2006 and then promoted to the dual role of athletic director on March 6, 2008, will accept the position of head football coach at the University of Tennessee.

[Guest Sgt. Joe]

Who/What do they ideally need?

Someone who would accept "Right Now" so as not to embarrass the school with multiple turn downs. Well that part didnt work so well but it could have been worse.

Someone for whom it would be a step UP Check, I am sure he is pumped up as well as his bank account.

Someone with ties to the SEC Check, his own and plenty thru his dad.

Someone with Head Coaching experience and some success with such Check, done well enough with what he had. Seemed to get his kids UP for the bigger teams and he has more talent to work with now.

Someone who could handle the discipline problems. Double head slap check, if he cant slap them into shape he can defend them in court:p Really I would think someone who gets a Law Degree and then goes into coaching would be taking it seriously. This guy may be around for a long while.

Someone who could recruit for UT successfully "Right Now" To be determined, but I think given a year or two he should be competing with the big boys in the SEC. If he can win early even better.

All in all if the kid learned anything from his dad he should be just fine, and I think he will be.....SEE Ya in September.

Go Go Gators..........

[Luckyforward]

This season is in the crappers no matter who the coach is, thanks to good ole Lame, so let's support Dooley, wish him the best, and give him a chance.

I would want as much support if I were in his position . . .

Dude,

I haven't been called "Dude" in a while, I kinda thought that went out with the mullet..trust me the comment I made wasn't based on anything I read on this forum but only the hope that whomever is picked to be the next head coach of the Volunteers is that the fans rally around them for the sake of tradition, the players, and the improvement of our program

But thanks for your concern

[Garufa]

If Dooley can do the job then so be it. Doesn't look like we've got a choice, like we ever did.

Will he bring a Monte with him? Recruits? Keep the UT staff that got screwed...like Kippy?

[BigPoppa]

I'm a Tennessee fan, so Derek Dooley is now my Coach, and I'll cheer just as loud at his Vol Walk as I did for Fulmer.

It's not Dooley's fault that Kiffin hung one in us, and it's not Dooley's fault that Hamilton is a sucktastic AD.

So, rally 'round the flag boys and let's go get 'em !!

Who knows ? With better facilities and talent, Derek may have some of his old man in him............200 wins and a National Title at Georgia....surely some of that rubbed off !
