Glad I left Georgia... [Derek Dooley running for US Senate]

[NorthDallas40]

He coached WRs though. I know him and Dez hated each other....

I thought he had tight ends at one point. If so my bad but again as you can see I tried to black it out.

You were right. WRs only.

Dez went from HOF track to replacement level by his age 27 season....

Evan Engram trashed him as well during Dooley's 1 season as NYG TE coach.

 

[BeardedVol]

Still clinging to the hope that his father's legacy will land him another job.

 

[NorthDallas40]

TBF Dez and his attitude had a lot to do with that. But Dooley had a hand obviously. I think he played WR in college?

Shower discipline for everyone in Georgia. They really have some strong candidates this year (blue font implied)

Absolutely, a lot of it was on Dez. But you saw the same thing with Evan Engram a couple of years later. You had guys like Terence Williams get progressively worse as well. There was a common denominator here.....

 

[sonofUT62]

Isn't that exactly how we wound up with Pruitt?

Yeah this. The problem wasn’t that Fulmer wasn’t allowed to pick his own successor. It was that he was allowed to pick his own AD.

 

[Volfanstucknga]

Bad head coach, but honestly not a bad campaign video. I live in GA. I would vote for Scooby-Doo over Jon Osoff.

 

[BigOrangeSky]

Dooley’s dad was apparently mentioned as a candidate years ago and his mother lost a republican primary for congress over 20 years ago. Seems the family are passionate about politics and he is following in their footsteps.

Yeah, your right, and his mother's loud mouth was why voter's said NO on her.

 

[BigOrangeSky]

Right

You too are right sir - Vince did not want him wasting his life coaching. And, Vince said that.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

He can't be any worse than Tuberville.

I mean he was a worse coach, so he might also be a worse politician. But yeah, tubberville set the bar pretty low in that arena so maybe not

 

[Sarms58]

I always like DD. Really good football coach who should have never been a head coach.

Good position coach…

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Maybe he will be a good public servant. He simply wasn't head coach material.

Recognizing his incompetence as a HC, I still never put him on the hate list. Another case of bad timing for a coach search and our AD played the genetics provides hope card and it was not to be. He cannot approach the Kiffin/Pruitt place in hell group. Does not make the losses easier or OK, but our incompetent AD put him in the Fail path.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Good position coach…

I think he was a good OC as well.

 

[Vol737]

You know you loved Jerry Jones hiring him as an assistant....

I liked Dooley better as an offensive analyst for Saban, eating his sphagetti in the corner at Neyland Stadium while we beat that Bama arse!

 

[OrangeInKy]

You too are right sir - Vince did not want him wasting his life coaching. And, Vince said that.

He wasted some of our lives too

Is shower etiquette a platform?

 

[Buzzbait]

Bad head coach, but honestly not a bad campaign video. I live in GA. I would vote for Scooby-Doo over Jon Osoff.

Ditto. I’ll vote for DD, but bottom line is Osoff has to go.

 

[Gandalf]

Like him or not, I do feel that Derek was simply in over his head. Therefore, I still think of him as a #VFL.

May be wrong, but didn't someone during his time here actually come up with VFL idea?

I could be completely wrong but I believe yes, he or at least the admin when DD was coach, set up the VFL program at that time.

Out of all the coaches after Fulmer, Dooley was never someone I HATED, he just got put into a place he wasnt ready for because we got dropped in the honeymoon with a very immature Kiffin.

I dont know if he knows jack squat about anything related to congress but then, Ossof certainly doesnt. Besides, Senators are not expected to know things, like house members are, thats what Senate staff are for. Senators need to manage experts and make decisions moreso than housemembers.

Orange dog, Red dog, Nazis, etc. All Dooley platforms that made us say, “Wut??”

Always liked Dooley as a person, just not as HC at Tennessee. His parents were top-notch folks & his intelligence & outlook on history is admirable (how 'bout that, General Rommel?) My opinion is that he'd be a better Congressman than most of the clowns on the Hill. Just stay out of coaching, Derek.

…and right on cue, I just got my first spam fundraising text from him.

Smart move. Hit the big money guys early on.

 

[cgbtn]

I certainly prefer DD to his progressive opponent.
