He looked like a man in the middle of a nervous breakdown. The deer-in-headlights look on his face was a testament to how overwhelmed and in over his head he must feel (and is). The sad part to me was when he said "we can still have a good season". It looked like he was in denial. He failed for sure, but he's just a human...a rich human.

I actually feel bad for Dooley--but just think where we would be if we would have pulled off some victories this year--or not dropped the ball so badly against Kentucky last year

Just shows how important every hiring decision is in this business. You can lose a Wilcox or a Cutcliff but you have to replace them with someone as good or better.

I see the look of a head coach whose team just not only lost (again), but lost a freaking heart breaker. When does he EVER look particularly jolly after losing a game? It reveals nothing other than the fact that he hurts just as much as the team does.

What do you see?

I saw someone who was disappointed and frustrated.

Its possible he knows its over, but a deer in headlights? The man is far from confused.

Say what you want about his coaching, bad luck, lack of connection with certain players.

But he is no where near confused, or stupid, or overwhelmed. Those statements are from rednecks who get confused trying to merge into traffic getting on I40.

And then feel like they have the right to rip on a coach because they watch the games for free on their TV and inherited a UT shirt from their daddy when he died from liver failure because he couldn't stay away from that "shine"..

Not defending his coaching/results by any means.. but to try and knock on his intelligence in any way is retardation. Which is exactly what saying he is a deer in headlights is implying.

Our fans need to have a little more respect for people who have given more of their lives to the university then they ever could in 3 lifetimes...

If it weren't for the mods, I'd shut you down..

I also saw bigfoot back in 96.

Hey! That must have been right before the aliens abducted him. They got me in December of 95... and I THINK they digitally transported Bigfoot (we just called him "Foot") aboard around the end of July '96. Foot was a nice fella once ya got to know him.

Anyway, the aliens kept us aboard for "testing" until February '98. Haven't seen Foot since, but I've heard of a few people who've said they've seen him. Hope he's doing well.

I've been hoping those aliens (BTW, they are from Planet "X") would come back to Earth for some more research and do some testing on the UT coaching staff. I've been a VOL fan for a long time now, and don't understand many of the coaching decisions. Perhaps the aliens could share their findings with us after the testing.

Go Vols!

Dude is so MAD. I guess I should just stick with making posts about baseless rumors...wouldn't want to ruffle any more feathers with entirely harmless opinion-based posts

He is right about one thing though, he doesn't look like a deer in headlights.. More like a possum!

I'm not sure how many of you on here have ever coached anyone or any teams. I have coached about 10 teams in basketball, football and soccer. Some of my teams have gone undefeated. Some (like the one I just coached in soccer) went 1-4-3(ties).

Coaches coach and players play. The teams I've had that went undefeated were made up of "equals". No one was the big shot, "star", etc. Everyone pulled on the same rope in the same direction. Teams that faltered, had 2-3 "stars" who played for themselves.

"Star" - J Hunter
"Equal" - Z Rogers

We need more Z Ros on the team and less "stars". Dooley is doing all he can, but coaches coach and players play.

This may all sound like a clique, but it is true. What helps a team full of "stars" is to have "stars" 2 deep on the depth chart. That depth keeps the 1st teamers honest. Dooley doesn't have 2-deep.

So you're saying we need more players with Z.Rogers level of talent and less like J.Hunter??

I'll just disagree here.
