I've stayed away from all of this Dooley talk as much as possible because I disagree with most of it. Do I think all of this is Dooley's fault and he deserves the blame? Absolutely not. Do I understand why he gets the blame? Absolutely. Dooley isn't the one out there making (or not making) the plays. All he can do is put his players in the best position possible to succeed. Along with that, the coordinators and position coaches are even more responsible in that aspect.
So with all of this talk going on, I decided to talk to current players and former players who graduated last year and get their thoughts on Dooley. Not one of them said this is Dooley's fault and that he deserves all of this. In fact, when I asked them if he should get fired, none of them thought he should. They said Dooley has a good idea of what he is doing and that he will succeed if he has time.
So when I got those responses, I of course wanted to know who they would put the most fault on. Of course they all said themselves and that they are ultimately the ones out there. But they also said the coordinators deserve much more blame than Dooley. They said 90% of what goes on during the games are from the coordinators. Finally, They said Wilcox would have been great once he got the type of players he wanted.
Sorry this is so long but just wanted to give some insight as to how some players feel.
And also, the talk around the team is that the players do not want Gruden. They said they've heard he is an a**hole and doesn't care about his players. TIFWIW
