The point is Dooley is ultimately responsible and should take 100% of the onus for this.
I think he will, just like he did last week.
That doesn't seem to have meant - or helped - very much at all. I don't care if he takes responsibility or not - it's pinned on him, regardless.
What's most troubling is that he seems incapable of correcting this, the most elementary of mistakes (who doesn't know that you can only have 11 men?), and it not only fumbled away a GIGANTIC step forward for this team and the entire program, but somehow managed to sink to a depth not previously thought possible.
Losing a game you should have won, one the road, against a Top 10 opponent, in an SEC game......because you can't count....how do the Dooley-lovers spin this one? I'm sure they will, but it'll be interesting to see
how they do it.
You can continue believing that so many lesser nonsenses will change that fact - you know, like saying you just need to shake your pom-poms harder, or touting things like Dooley's "character" or "he's from the South" or "he really believes the maxims" or (my favorite) "Saban really respects him"- but they won't.
Dooley might be a good guy, and he may turn out to be the next Saban, after all - but he is about 10 years shy of the experience required for the position he holds. Dooley is in over his head, and most simply got a swig of that truth today, albeith a particularly painful one. For those who continue to tell themselves, "It can't get any worse".
It can, it has, and it will continue to do so until we get the coach we deserve.
