Dooley on Spurrier Field

Dooley said this in response to the media trying to get a quote from him that they could misconstrue into another k-ville media bullcrap article. He was just trying to say something completely neutral, and did a good job given the situation. Remember, dude is a lawyer. Some people will try and find anything to flame Dooley about...

My wife is an alumna of Science Hill. Spurrier has been the greatest athlete to come out of there since far before she was born, yet only recently did they start playing on a field named after him. Anyone who doesn't think that the money is what got his name on the field is a fool.

The old field behind Cardinal Park was also named Steve Spurrier Field sometime around the early 2000s. The OP is right that Spurrier is the best athlete to come from SHHS, even all of northeast TN when you look at all his records stretching across three sports. But him donating to the school definitely played a large factor. I know in my HS days the Spurrier memorabilia in SHHS's trophy case was constantly being vandalized. And there was a huge backlash when the original field was named after him. The new field and track is fantastic though. And it's only there because Science Hill didn't want to be outclassed by Dobynns Bennett. That's straight from the SHHS AD's mouth.

dumbest thread of the week. Seriously OP? C'mon. You get stuff named after you when you.....*DING DING* DONATE MONEY!

I don't think Dooley said anything incorrect and you still bash him.

"I think he is a generous man to give back to his high school, so I commend him for what he has done," Dooley said. "It's a tribute to the fact that he was a great player, a great coach and made a lot of money. When that happens, you get your name on the field."

Steve Spurrier Field in Johnson City has nothing to do with Spurrier making a lots of money...

Damn DD that was uh... well not one of your best moments on the record.

Spurrier is a gameCOCK,but Dooley was only telling to truth. If that coach that was coaching at Tennessee when Spurrier was a senior at Science Hill had got Spurrier we would have loved him and his arrogant attitude. He is a prick but you can not take away how good he has done where ever he has been.

The coach when he was a senior was Jim McDonald, who was only here a year and used special "Halloween jerseys". He also ran the single wing offense, which cost us a high profile QB (Steve Spurrier), sound familiar?

Lane Kiffin was here a year, used a "Halloween jersey", ran a pro-style offense, which cost us a high-profile QB (Tajh Boyd)

A year later, Jim McDonald was replaced by Doug Dickey who scrapped the single-wing in favor of the "T formation" offense. Had he come in one year earlier or Spurrier been held back/failed a year, he probably would've come to UT.

Had Fulmer or Dooley been here in 2009, Boyd would be here now...so to recap...one year coaches basically SUCK!!! But they do use pretty cool jerseys...

Without turning this into another long debate, but if Taj is here, we don't get Tyler. Also, if Fulmer is here in 2009 and fired in 2010, Coach Dooley never gets a sniff at the opportunity to coach at the University of Tennessee. This is how I see it anyways.

The real question is...would Tajh do better with beer bottles and jet skis?

In all seriousness though, you're right Tyler probably wouldn't be here without LK, but I always like to think what if he hadn't run Boyd off and had brought him in, then gotten Tyler...we'd have been running a 2 QB system that was BadA!!! The 2-B offense would've been huge and "we'll win cause we are 2-B and they're not 2-B, THAT is the answer".

Hey, a fan can dream, can't he?

If you enjoy ripping your hair out, then yeah the two QB system would be awesome.
