Dooleys presser 3/17/10 (When and where?)

#26

Talking academics and character education now. Wants players to know consequences of signing up for credit cards, signing an apartment lease, etc. "Player enhancement" is something he keeps saying.

Practices will be physical. If practices aren't physical, no one is hurt but your team isn't tough. Lot of hitting but trying to stay on your feet. Not always being taken to the ground.

"Everything I'm going to do is for the players. Whether we succeed or fail is up to them."

Dooley's style is to talk when something is going on. There's been nothing going on, so he wasn't talking. He will talk now and during spring practice but won't talk over the summer. "What am I going to talk about? Guys working out?"

"Had a great meeting with Eric Berry."
EB: "I made the most of what I had."
DD: "Great players are resilient." Guys should bust tails for whoever is coaching.

Dooley wants to know who is showing up to practice. Asks that former players just call first and say they are coming. Pretty fired up about it. Doesn't understand why former players are so upset.

Miming someone calling and saying "I want to come to practice." "What's so hard about that?"

"People trying to create an issue that isn't there."

DD: "Nothing's changed." Brother in Atlanta doesn't just drive up to Knoxville and walk in DD's front door. He calls first. Wants football family to tell someone they are coming. Door is open, just say you're coming.

DD: "I'm not upset. I just get a kick of out it."

"I'm not one to take coaches on a canoo trip."

"15 hours in a room together is enough"

"Improve fundamentally at every position. Practice will be centered around that."

I really like this proactive part of the program. It's all upside.

"I feel an obligation to connect with the fan base. That's why I like college fb better.... The program/recruiting can suffer if you get too caught up in that..."

"I met with my assistants, and I said that we have to have a system to reach out to people..."

yes it was

he kinda talks down to the media when they ask stupid questions (or ones that have been answered) and I like it

I'm not able to listen, so thanks to all for the comments. I like this part on Dooley. People will interpret however they want. I see it as all business right now. No need for dumb questions or repeats. Got stuff to do.:good!:

well someone asked a question about fundamentals and he told them to check their notes from his first press conf about it. He said I told you that was my #1 and it still is

What's your offensive philosophy?

"You have to be able to run the ball when you want to... You better structure practice for that.... I like TE's in our O.... the biggest change is moving towards TE"s more than FB's..."

"You have to find out which players are going to win games for you..."

"You (the media) are going to have access to all information. If you don't then that's a choice by you not to promote the program" .... response to hooker :eek:lol:
