Dave Doeren Resume

He actually has an impressive resume. His teams get better every single year and guy is very smart..practically a Ph.D. He's not in my top 10 but he apparently was offered and will be our coach.

Doeren, who has packed a career’s worth of experience into his 22 years in the coaching profession, is a living example of a single-minded focus on a goal.* After eschewing medical school to follow his passion, he climbed rapidly through the coaching ranks.
He came to NC State after leading the program at Northern Illinois to its most successful two years in program history.* His first Husky squad won the school’s first Mid-American Conference Championship since 1983 and tied the school record with 11 wins.* His second version repeated as league champions and set a new school record by posting 12 victories for the season and earned a trip to the Orange Bowl - the first BCS berth ever for a MAC school.* Doeren was a finalist for several national coach of the year awards following the 2012 campaign.
Under Doeren’s leadership, NIU boasted the nation’s longest conference winning streak with 17 straight wins versus MAC opponents.* The Huskies never lost a home game during his tenure in DeKalb, winning a dozen home contests in his two seasons to extend the nation’s longest home winning streak to 21 games.* The Huskies’ Academic Progress Rate (APR) ranked among the top five nationally as well. *
Prior to his stint in DeKalb, Doeren spent five seasons in the Big Ten at Wisconsin, where he served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.* During Doeren’s time in Madison, the Badgers posted a 49-15 overall mark and played in the Champs Sports Bowl twice, the Outback Bowl, the Capital One Bowl and the Rose Bowl.
For his first two seasons in Madison, he served as co-defensive coordinator/recruiting coordinator/linebackers coach and in 2008, was named the primary defensive coordinator. *
Doeren arrived at Wisconsin after four seasons (2002-05) at the University of Kansas, where he served as linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator for three seasons before being promoted to co-defensive coordinator under head coach Mark Mangino.*
During Doeren’s time at Kansas, the Jayhawks ended a seven-year bowl drought, earning bids to the 2003 Tangerine Bowl and the 2005 Ft. Worth Bowl.* The opponent in that first bowl appearance was a Philip Rivers-led NC State team. *
In 2000 and 2001, Doeren coached the secondary at NCAA Division I-AA (now Football Championship Subdivision) powerhouse Montana, also serving as the Grizzlies’ recruiting coordinator for one year. Montana advanced to the the I-AA national championship game in 2000, losing by two points, but returned to win the national title the following season.* The Grizzlies posted a 28-3 record and won two Big Sky Conference championships in his two years with the program and he coached five All-Americans, four All-Big Sky performers and two league defensive MVPs.
Doeren grew up right outside of Kansas City, where he watched his grandfather, Thomas Glennon, coach high school basketball and track. He loved the respect his grandfather commanded from his players, even after he retired from coaching.
When he left for college at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, his goals were to play football, earn a pre-med degree, go to med school and become an orthopedic doctor.* He accomplished the first two.
He lettered at tight end for the Bulldogs, catching 19 catches for 237 yards for his career.* He majored in pre-medical biology, earning Academic All-American as a senior.* He took the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).* His plans for the future changed, however, during the summer between his junior and senior years when his former coach at Bishop Miege High School asked him to lead seven-on-seven drills. *
Doeren says from that moment on, he decided he wanted to be a coach.* He pursued that goal with a relentlessness that never wavered.* Instead of heading to med school, he landed his first coaching job in 1994, right there in Kansas at Shawnee Mission High School.* His collegiate coaching career began just a year later, when he was named an assistant coach at Drake, leading the linebackers from 1995-97 before adding defensive coordinator chores in 1997. * He also earned his master’s degree from Drake in educational leadership.
Doeren got his first taste of a bowl experience as a defensive graduate assistant at the University of Southern California.* During his stint with the Trojans, he began work on his Ph.D.

Are you one of the UTAD people paid to spin this? I know for a fact they’re having people go out to all of the sites to spin this crap to try and sell us on this hire. You can’t sell us on this complete destruction of a program. Screw you

He is not an idiot. We are being purposely screwed here. Do yall really believe these millionaire and billionaire boosters are idiots? This **** is intentional.

But we may not be the target -- it could be the other booster faction. Very shocking Manning seems to be aligned with the bad guys, but he is rumored to be negotiating some kind of position with the Browns, so that could be a factor here.
 
OP never gave a **** either way

Are you working for the AD?

We aren't idiots. We've looked at this guy's record. I've watched a bunch of his press conferences. This guy is basically very similar to the guy we just fired. He has underperformed at NCSt every year. This year he has a team full of seniors. It was supposed to be his breakthrough year. Instead, he came within 1 loss of being fired after the UNC game. He is very thin skinned and after losses blames refs, laptops, and pretty much everything but himself.

In one of his after game coach shows he bragged that they followed their game plan by injuring the other team's tailback.

If UT hires this guy, he will inevitably be fired in 3-5 years. During that time, this alumus that has followed UT for decades will spend $0 on UT athletics. After he gets fired, if the UT administration decides it wants to hire a decent coach, I may come back. Then again, by that time, I may have become a permanent Clemson fan.

After 10+ years of ineptitude by the UT administration I can't take it anymore. It isn't good for my health to be emotionally involved in a program that sucks on purpose!

Currie is pissed and embarrassed, he's now out to make sure the Vols neverrrrrrr recover......going 0-8 in the SEC wasn't bad enough, hiring Doeren will possibly bury the Vols for another decade..........:cray:
 
I had to look up nc state's coach to even have an opinion. Idk if it is curries pride that prevents kiffin or Haslams racism that prevents Tee, but they would rather bury UT than be proven wrong

I believe at this point Haslam is petty enough to do what would be the equivalent of burning the football program to ground just out of spite of not getting his guy. Look at the Cleveland Browns we are about to be there or worse.

I hope to God this hire falls through but I do believe it’s an upgrade (almost immeasurably so). We will be coach hunting again in 3-5 years, but maybe with luck we won’t be Dooley bad or 2017 Butch bad.
 
It's not an upgrade in any sense. He has a very similar record in the ACC to CBJ's record in the SEC.

He was successful at his previous stop but inherited a program that was already doing well.

If you watch his press conferences, they are eerily similar to Butch minus the cliches.
 
He is a loser... so UT will definitely throw 10 mill a year with a 30 mill buyout.... He will vandy the **** out of UT
 
You folks do realize that none of the names mentioned as possible head coaches is a guarantee of winning, I hope? Each and every one of them can fail here. Each and every one is a crap shoot.

A good season can go by the wayside by injuries to key players, turnovers can happen at inopportune times, close games can be lost by missed fg's, etc. Once it starts going south, it tends to snowball. Momentum is huge in sports. Just get on board with whoever it is. We aren't getting Saban. There is only one of him.

Did he go 0-8 in conference games in the ACC this year, or 6-2 ?

You do realize that someone with a losing ACC record isn't likely to do better in the SEC?

For a brief moment today when it looked like Brohm was going to take the job things looked hopeful.

This guy, if hired, will be getting a buyout in 3-5 years when he is gone. In this, his "defining year of success", he lost to South Carolina at home.

You may want to look up ACC versus SEC head to head. I don't know about this year, but for the last 3 or 4 years, the ACC has held the upper hand. U.T. beating Va Tech last year was one of the few victories head to head.

N.C. State was 6-2 in conference this year. We were 0-8, if you don't recall.

In a year with an awful FSU and outside of Clemson not an impressive team in his division (Louisville isn't special at all, if it wasn't for Lamar Jackson going Superman last year we wouldn't think much of them at all). His previous 3 years? 3-5 each year
 
Let's be clear, hiring Doeren would be a deliberate act of sabotage. It is crystal clear the fan base loathes the idea, and his resume is trash. This would be nothing more than a "**** you, I didn't get my guy, so you guys are getting screwed" move by some people who know there time here is limited.

I have to hope this doesn't go through. If the offer for Brohm was vetoed, I don't know why this one wouldn't be. Also, I have no doubt Doeren knows how much our fans would hate him from day one and that the guy hiring him would probably have to leave town for his own safety. This is nothing more than a terrible coach trying to get a payday before he overstays his welcome at his current gig. I stand by my words. This would be sabotage. Vols fans absolutely should fight it tooth and nail, regardless of what they think it may look like to outsiders or other candidates.

Which begs the question, were Dooley and Butch hires acts of sabotage?

How many impressive teams were in our division this year?

Well, this guy is 0-1 vs. The SEC this year. This year is his first ACC season with more than 3 wins. His conference record is almost identical to the guy we just fired. We could have kept Butch and saved a fortune.
