Dooley on Pope

[govols9570]

I just heard his presser today, and he absolutely publicly hammered Pope. He said something along the lines of there should be a reality show about Pope because he has so much drama. He asked the press to give it a name. Very embarrassing for Pope nonetheless. I don't particularly like Cody, but I'm not sure that even Kiffin would bash his own players in public. Damn.

yeah...thats not very professional. i know the guy has to toughen up...but you dont publicly call out one of your players...thats BS

 

[jlovevols]

Did he clarify what he meant?

 

[govols9570]

Also, Dooley on Vols center problems... "We don't have a center."

 

[utvolpj]

context would probably help

 

[volsglb71]

Maybe the drama is referring to the media inquiring about cody's injuries of late. He was hurt last week, and got banged up again in the game again.

I think all the players should get a trophy......oh wait.......this isn't Pop Warner.

See Warren, Brandon.

Using the press to embarass one of your players is a douche move IMO. Of course, based on what I've seen of Dooley I'm not surprised.

so you heard/saw the press conf or are just going on a very vague (and possibly misleading) OP?

 

[YankeeVol]

I'd have to hear the whole thing....and there is nothing wrong with calling a player out

Hold on just a minute.... I'm watching the presser right now to find the exact part where he said it. All I know is that I felt very awkward just listening to it. I think everybody there felt the same.

particularly when that player is a drama queen

I agree. These guys are in college and trying to get a shot at the NFL. This isn't an under 12 girls soccer team.

I am sure that the staff has tried many diffeent ways to get Pope to stop being a pus.

Is this the same guy Craig James called "Candy" on the telecast?

 

[ochocinco]

overreaction

has he not had drama? thats nothing negative , its not a shot at Pope, its just a way to say his day to day life in unpredictable. id say Cody is more likely to laugh at that than cry.

you guys never cease to amaze me with this stuff

[Neyland Law Vol]

He wasn't calling out Pope. He was making fun of the media for wanting to know every detail.

Might not have been a slip.
