People keep saying head coach experience is needed for our UT football job then what is the difference? Because Muschamp, STrong, and Mullen were never head coaches and their doing just fine.

Head coaches have more responsibilities and demands. They're responsible for the whole program, and not just an offense or defense. That being said I'm sure some coordinators (ie muschamp at Texas) have additional responsibilities that other coordinators may not. The difference between those 3 and Dooley is that they were all pretty successful coordinators before becoming coaches, and Dooley was not. Basically with those 3 you knew you were getting at least a great offensive or defensive mind.

At UT the fans blame the asst and the Coodinators and make excuses for the head coach.

Yeah, and I can name plenty of coordinators who didn't work out as head coaches. It's jsut a matter of what is safest and it's usually a safer bet to hire a head coach who has a head coaching record you can evaluate.

I get yah. And DD hasn't shown any mastery of knowledge yet. Maybe how to perfectly apply hair gel. Obviously Saban, Meyer, and Brown trusted Muschamp, STrong, and Mullen with extra duties or they wouldn't be good candidates for the hc at that point in time. Either dd was stupid or didn't pick up on what they were teaching.
