Dooley Plays Nicey-Me No Likey

I think I would rather have Dooley prove himself on the field then talk smack like an annoying little 12 yr old girl. Kiffin made sly little remarks in the media but I could care less, we still will get plenty of TV time with our schedule and hopefully Dooley focusing on the job means a better team.
 
I respect him now even more than I did....which is a great deal. Nothing wrong with Dooley showing his players what character and class is.
 
Lawyers never let the opposition see what they have or don't have.They must be intelligent to be a success.A coaches son no doubt has learned the ins and outs of the game especially when the father was a legend. Being tutored by a future legend from LSU, the NFL, going to a small school. Record aside at that school he was the coach and the athletic director.That's alot on the plate yet he did as difficult as it was.Now he has the opportunity to be the head coach at Tenn.That's his total focus.We have a young coach on the rise.At what point do we stop whining.
 
I don't care as long as Dooley gets us back to where we belong. Once we do start beating UF and AL on a regular basis, they probably won't be saying such nice things about him anyway then no matter what.
 
sjt, what the heck is that all about??? we are stuck, he should have never been hired but here we are, mediocrity in the making.

You're acting like Dooleys unqualified and an idiot. His father was one of the greatest SEC coaches,duh nodoubt he's learned something about football.He's a Saban protege, duh he's learned something about football, i.e. LSU, the NFL. Dooley's no dummy he knows football and has the coaching pedigree and background to put Orange back on the map. Wake up dude.

When he proves he has "learned the ins and outs of the game" and if he paid attention while "being tutored by a future legend".

Just because his daddy rode Herschel's coattails and his former boss is a great coach doesn't mean he's destined for greatness.

Let the man coach before saying he's great or he sucks.

I never said he was great. I stated some of his background that doesn't show he's a bust. I said a young coach on the rise. They all had to start somewhere. Yet everybody's writing the guy off before he got started.

He's got to earn respect.

That's all I was getting at. It's not just given to you because you worked for Nick Saban or you're dad coached in the SEC.

Yeah it's funny how well you're liked when they're kicking your butt, not so much when the shoe is on the other foot. I expect the same on here if we ever got back to winning on a regular basis. These trolls from other schools wouldn't be so quick to come in here and pat us on the back. It would be refreshing to say the least. There is something just slimy about that anyway.

In my book, Dooley gets to start with a clean slate. He doesn't have to earn MY respect. He gets it automatically. He can only do two things as far as I'm concerned:

1. Lose my respect
2. Strengthen my respect

Those things will be determined on the field

I agree that Dooley gets to start with a clean slate, but I don't get the automatic respect issue. He has done jack to get any respect. He also has done jack to get ridiculed. He's a blank page right now.

I automatically respect the coach of the team I love.

Just like I automatically respect my family and anyone who serves our country in the military.

Yes, it is THAT black and white to me.

OR just because you worked for Pete Carroll or your Dad coached in the NFL.

yep, just like right now FL doesn't hate us nowhere near as much as we hate them.

If it'll make you feel better, I'll make some calls.

Expect prank phone calls soon and don't stomp on any burning paper bags at your front door.

Oh and go ahead and order a new mailbox.

Maybe we can turn this thing around for ya.

Considering my avatar, I fully expected someone to bust my chops on this post.

You would have to hang out in the Baseball Forum to know why I have it.

I don't get that, but whatever. You get respect by earning it... just like you end up being a leader by your actions. You're not a leader or someone that deserves respect just b/c of a title.
 
I sit corrected. You are correct, sir.

The 5-15 NFL record is undoubtedly the shining star in the galaxy that is monte's kid's resume/CV.

Coaching in the NFL is no piece of cake. Coaching under Al Davis is no piece of cake. If you added the millions of dollars coaches made after they were fired by Al Davis, you'd start to see a pattern.

Just because a head coach fails for the Silver and Black doesn't mean he's garbage. Does Louisiana Tech have the same track record for failed coaches?

They don't view Tennessee as a viable threat like they used too. Winning 5 in a row will give you that type of confidence as it should. It does kind of get under your skin that they say one thing and really don't mean it though. The shoe will be on the other foot someday again. God only knows when though, as of right now doesn't look to be anytime soon.
