Charles Davis is asked about Dooley and Tennessee in a Cotton Bowl preview. He said Dooley basically deserves 2 more years, but it needs to turn around. It's at the 5:40 mark in the Cotton Bowl link:

They need to coach up the players they have and do a better job of scheming and play calling to prove they are good coaches to recruits. Quite frankly this whole thing has been amateurish. UT is traditionally a Top 20 program for good reasons. We should have Top 20 recruiting classes as a result. Check - CDD gets it done. Are we ranked in the Top 20 annually in W/L. Nope - not even close for 4 years in a row. Not laying all of that at CDD's feet due to the Fulmer/Kiffin junk. But a good portion of the current problems are as a result of this coaching staff. Not a Negavol - want him to succeed. He may still get it done if there is a 180 degree turnaround in coaching. But 'no' to 2 more years without 8-4 or better. Sorry, pile checker Charles Davis. Top recruits and their families have gotten pretty sharp about the process nowdays. Losing records and ugly losses to conference rivals turns them off.

It is stupid for him to blindly say this out of context. If Dooley lays another 1-7 conference record with an unmotivated and unprepared team, he needs to be gone.

I kind of felt like Dooley should have been let go after that KY loss...want him to succeed here but it looked like he had simply lost the team during that game.

Out of curiosity, are you being serious? Are you saying you would've (if you were in charge) fired CDD after that game?

stop being a parrot... do you even know what you just said means?

He did not "lose" the team the team "lost" the game. It sucked, it was terrible but it was not because he "lost" the team. They rushed Bray back because they were desperate for a 6th win and didn't belive in the 2 alternatives. I think that was a mistake because a hurt/sick/rusty bray was not better than the 2 alternatives. I honestly believe Simms or Worley win that game easily. But no one could predict how badly Bray played that day. He was very limited and very rusty those last 2 games.
That being said, I would have played him too.

People need to stop manufacturing negativity. Folks around here love dropping sound bites and parroting crap like "he lost the team" or "bad coaching". These guys played their hearts out all year long against a brutal schedule and the came into the last 2 games flat... that simple. I don't know many teams this young that could have had the season and brutal schedule these guys had and not be a bit flat. next year barring an insane amount of injuries there is no excuse of youth we will have returning experience at nearly every position and for the most part guys with a year or 2 of starting experience. All this judgement should wait until then.

If we are not at .500 midseason then it is time to break out the pitchforks.. until then lets us support our team and stop giving our enemies fodder for recruiting.

That article about Dooley being on the hottest seat.. I guarantee boards like this were the main fuel for it and other coaches are pointing out articles like that and giving recruits links to sites lie his and letting us do their work for them.

Dooley "deserves" nothing. He has proven nothing and has won nothing of consequence here. He has to show progress next season. I'm not expecting anything huge just progress in the right direction. You know the opposite of what we saw on the field this season.

Nobody "deserves" four years to fail. Dooley is well-paid-- far beyond his resume value-- and has produced subpar results that have heaped humiliation and scorn on this program. To be fair, he walked into a mess, and he needed a pass so he got not one, but two.

Now the training wheels are off. He needs to earn his pay by showing tangible, measurable signs of progress and meeting the moderate expectations set before him, and when he does that, he will get the respect he will then deserve. Until then, he is reaping exactly what he has sown-- the seeds of discontent.
