re: Derek Dooley: Would you take him as Co-OC and WR coach?

In his first year he faced a chip kelley oregon in the 2nd game. Was playing them well until a long rain delay gave kelley an opp to adjust.

Went to BR, and took a player/coach brainfart in a crazy ending for him not to win that game.

Lost the bowl game on what would eventually turn into a new rule to prevent a team from losing that way.

That first year UT played 3 top 10 teams (bama, uf, oregon), and a total of 5 top 20 teams when you add lsu and uscjr.

No coach has walked into what dooley did back then.

I dont know if he'll be a good HC, but dont know he wont be either as he hasnt had a full clean opp to do so. Jones benefited highly from what dooley did, and left him. He failed after given twice the time and pay.

I go back to giving him a few more yrs at mizzou. Hone his skills, and improve his "people skills" rep. He may be a good option.
