It's sad this guy has become such a punch line but he is by a wide margin the easiest Vol for me to pull for. Would be one hell of a story if he has a defining moment this year in a big game.
If you are sad because you think he's been made a punchline, that's on you.
It was jokes made because he looked so big and mean in his photo, it was almost unreal. None of the intent was ever to demean him. When he assisted on blocking a kick, Vol fans went crazy cheering for him.

He's had nothing but support from Vol fans. If you see anything different, it's your typical way if viewing things, not reality.

Whatever.

He is referred to as a punchline most often.

Very long Derek Dooley interview:

Then Tennessee called and it’s hard to say no. What do you do? It was in a tough time in Tennessee’s history.
Q: When you look back at how those three years at Tennessee unfolded, what did you learn? Did you leave there with bitterness?
A:
More than anything it was the first time in my career. I was 44 at the time (I was fired) and up to that point everything worked. Like we all do, you get a little ‘I got this.’ You think you can succeed at anything. It was very humbling. I learned a lot. There’s a lot of little things I would have done differently. There’s a lot of big things I certainly would have done differently. Would it have changed the outcome? Who knows, because there’s so many variables out of your control.
More than anything, it was really healthy for me to be humbled. It was. We all need it in our life. In some ways what Tennessee gave me was the biggest gift you can give anybody, a real dose of humility. I think it’s changed how I approach things and how I deal with people and how I handle when things aren’t always perfect. You have a great perspective on things and control what you can control and not get worked up, focus on what matters most. I’m a micromanager by personality. That’s what Nick has always done great. He puts (his focus) on recruiting and ball. All the other stuff takes care of itself.
Q: You had to micromanage at Louisiana Tech to get things running there. Did that same approach not work at Tennessee?
A:
It’s a little why I didn’t do it any different at Tennessee because it was working. The difference was at Louisiana Tech everybody listened to me and did what I said. At Tennessee very few people listened to me and most of them did something different than what I said. That’s how it is at a lot of big places when you don’t come in empowered as “the guy.” you have to learn how to manage those environments. That’s what frustrated me. You can’t even compare the two. You had a lot of division going on between (Phil) Fulmer, (Lane) Kiffin and fans. There was a lot of division on campus. It was a different environment, and I didn’t see it that way but should have.

Derek Dooley Q&A: "This isn’t my offense. It’s our offense, Missouri’s offense."
