Dooley in over his head? Cowherd thinks so (merged)

Come on, no one knows what the hell is going to happen. DD maybe or may not be in over his head, but the only thing we can do is pull for him and hope he is not.

Bad weather doesn't turn a 6 point lead into a 35 point debacle. Period.

I'm not suggesting the delay was responsible for the loss, but it certainly didn't help things. Oregon was overwhelmed early and it gave them a chance to regroup and make adjustments one and a half quarters earlier than they shouldve.

It also killed momentum. We got exhausted, but who's to say we wouldn't be up three possessions at half otherwise and Oregon wouldn't have been quite as motivated.

Although mostly I think we were gonna wear down one way or another.

I feel like we were probably going to lose that game anyway. Not being a pessimist because I would have loved to see us win, but we just couldn't deal with depth and speed for four quarters.

I was just listening to the Herd on ESPN radio and in discussing this weekends games, Colin said that Dooley was way over his head and that UT is poorly coached. I tend to disagree and think that once Dooley has a few years in the system he will be successful. Your thoughts?

Wonder if he thinks kiffin is a great coach right now? All that great talent at USC and they are the most penalized team on the country and have almost lost to 2 terrible teams.

I agree but UT had neutralized that early on with their gameplan. At least without the delay Oregon would have had to make adjustments under normal constraints.

Here's his record against teams of more, comparable, and less talent:

Opponent Had More Talent: 1-8 (avg. loss -- 24 points)
Opponent Had Comparable Talent: 3-10 (avg. loss - 8 points)
Opponent Had Less Talent: 13-2 (avg. win 10 or more)

He only had 1 winning season in a WAC conference where he had as or more talent than most of the rest of the league.



Yeah, he's in over his head.

Vegas Vol, I would love for you to expand on this opinion here. How much research went in to this? You state it as fact. You must have spent weeks and weeks evaluating talent and watching film. Mind shedding a little light on the process for me?

how is this a perfect situation and since wen is losing to a top 10 team when you jus came off of a 7-6 season and over 80 percent of the nation had you losing. Are you supposed to win a game that you are 11.5 point underdogs i dont think so. 8 months to turn around a program are not enough. So dont jump back on the bandwagon when we get to playing back to a sec championship level on a weekly basis.

Dooley has never been a coordinator -- anywhere, ever. His only HC stint was not a success at La Tech, where they got worse, rather than better, in his 3rd year there. Here's his record against teams of more, comparable, and less talent:

Opponent Had More Talent: 1-8 (avg. loss -- 24 points)
Opponent Had Comparable Talent: 3-10 (avg. loss - 8 points)

He only had 1 winning season in a WAC conference where he had as or more talent than most of the rest of the league.

Dooley talked about the importance of finishing well. The problem? During his tenure at La Tech, they rarely to never finished well when they fell behind in the 2nd half:

Why dont we cancel football all together. What get me is this is coming from our own fan base. Dude they get on tv everyday and bash us and bring us down. DON'T HELP THEM.

Why I have some hope for Dooley:

1. He seems intelligent.

2. He seems very competitive.

Of course, I like to think these hings about myself but I'm no football coach. Which brings me to # 3,

3. He has pedigree. He has been around great football minds most of his life.

I think all of these are reasons to have at least some confidence in CDD.
