There are games, and then there are games. None remaining on our schedule mean anything. We have nothing to gain by beating Troy, Mizzou, etc. A trip to the Music City Bowl? Please. Tennessee lost every single meaningful game it played in 2012.

Winning any game > Losing any game.
Music City Bowl > No bowl

The laugh was at least 20 seconds. He shook my hand when I walked up and I asked him if I could ask him a question and he said, "Sure!" Then, after I asked him the question he burst out with laughter. I didn't know what to think. haha. Pretty funny though.
I would have followed that laugh with a straight face, and replied, "Well, I think we all hoped Coach Dooley would pan out, but it's time for Tennessee to get this Head Coaching situation fixed and ASAP.

After all, the Head Coaching position is the motor that drives the vehicle for the entire Athletic Department. If the engine's not humming, nothing's moving. And that's exactly where we are right now. Going nowhere."

Three Legged Dog > Derrick Dooley

Oh shut up and gtfo

Dooley is a good coach.

Maybe he isnt SEC good

But he is a good coach.

Im sick of people calling him names and saying he cant coach.

95% of coaches today would crumble with our schedule year end and year out.

i just tried to laugh for 30 seconds. Impossible. And to picture a 30 second laugh and continuing the conversation sounds like SNL skit.

But we play in the SEC therefore shouldn't we have an "SEC good" coach?

If Mr Haslam laughed I'm sure he laughed at him for asking such a dumb question in public.

If it really was that long of a laugh, that's a bit telling. If there were legit negotiations taking place, they want/need to keep it under wraps. And he's right, there's just too much of the season left to be show their hand this early.

30 seconds is a really long time to laugh. I bet that was awkward.

You have nothing to base your statement on that he is a good coach. Literally nothing he has done has hinted that he might be a good coach. There are plenty of things that point to him being a mediocre/bad coach but not really anything to the positive.

He's not a good recruiter. He obviously either can't pick defensive coordinators worth a damn or got screwed but either way he hasn't shown anything to support your statement.

With him not being there. Sorry, but recruiting people that can win at LA Tech with another coach is not an accomplishment.

Recruiting is 75% of coaching

A 10 year old could coach alabama this year and come out with a winning record.

Im not going to get into that subject with you......maybe when your older son.
You got to be a Obama supporter. If you buy that nonsense (Dooley being a good coach), then you must be buying all the BS Obama is shoveling. Dude is a Psuedo Marxist (all his friends and associates are either self-declared communists, socialists, marxists or nutjobs like Rev. Wright) and half the damn country is buying that garbage. Change? Change? Yep...they want to slowly change America into a Marxist form of govt.

Dooley isn't going anywhere any time soon.

its a process..we are in the middle of a process.

And 3 years isn't that long... sorry.. Its not..

It is that kind of idiotic thinking that will turn Neyland Stadium into a ghost town.
