Dooley worked under Saban at the same time
Floridas current coach was here.

He never worked for miles!

He could go back to LA Tech since they aren't winning since he left.

Wait... nevermind.

Stud has 2 years left on a 3 year contract. He isn't going to be fired and won't leave unless he wants. Les is very loyal and Will NOT change OC unless Stud wants to leave.

Get over it.

It was???

By who?

As I recall, even Tenn. guys said it was more a case of doing the best they could with the hand they had.

Hey, he might turn out to be great...who knows, but his hire at Tenn. was questionable given his mediocre record in the Sunbelt. imo

He certainly wasnt their top pick. Not even in their Top 5

They went to the following coaches first:

Will Muschamp
Troy Calhoun
David Cutcliffe
Kyle Whittingham
Al Golden
Kevin Sumlin

No. He's an attorney, not a football coach.

turned Tech around? What?

Dooley is a career position coach who caught some breaks because of his last name and his ability to talk like Saban in a PC.

His hire at UT was not praised either

I like Dooley as a Special Teams coach, because quite frankly...our special teams suck this year .

No it wasn't. Tennessee fans referred to him as "Mike Shula with a law degree" . That's not a compliment.
