Does it bother you that Dooley is the son of a previous coach at a rival school?

[WA_Vol]

Does seem odd to me to hire a coach who is the son of a former coach at one of our biggest rivals. Curious if that bothers anyone as a fan?

 

[BigPapaVol]

Not me.

Not one bit

Never gave it a thought, just win baby!

Nope. Everybody has to start somewhere. His dad was unfortunate enough to do it at UGA, but I don't hold that against Derek.

 

[wood007]

No

 

[Volfootball55]

No

 

[rmsmith]

No.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Not in the least...

Sums it up.

Doesn't bother me one iota. He literally called the dogs off in 1981 when they kicked our butts 44-0. It could have been 66-0 if he was that type coach. He made the comment on his show that was the first time he'd ever seen a Tennessee team give up. Even though he was a rival team's coach, he was classy.

 

[JeepJeep]

Unless that rival school has interest in him sometime down the road.

 

[Slydell]

Never thought it a problem before or now.

 

[UTvol1fn]

no...next question

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

Doesn't bother me at all. On a side note, my dad mentioned last Saturday that it was a little weird for him rooting for a Dooley. I guess some can still remember facing Vince on a yearly basis.

 

[RockyTop411]

no

 

[hmanvolfan]

Nah

 

[jackaro]

This is a weird question. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with it unless their family is in a Hatfield-McCoy type feud with the Dooley's.

 

[UTVOL02]

If anything I'm glad his father was a successful National Championship winning coach.

 

[Panthro]

Is it just me, or didn't we go over this for a few months back in the spring?

 

[jimvols]

No.

 

[Crew]

nope.

I can't understand why this should bother me. Wasn't Cutcliffe an Alabama guy?

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

No, why should it ?


If he punts on first down or starts Minor Bowens at QB against UGA, I'll reconsider.
