This is a much better fit for him than being a college head coach. He’s a super smart guy and bad with people, so this may work. He could’ve had a career in politics long ago had he not gone into coaching. Always seemed more cut out for that stuff.

I'm not sure how you can say he's bad with people. Dooley is a good, honest man. He's the type of person we should want in politics.

A person who has chased their dreams in the private sector then later in life decided to be a public servant, but not be married to it. Some of these career, unaccomplished, politicians are just gross.

He's a horrible human being who was hated by every person that worked in the football complex when he was here. I've never seen someone so universally hated by every person that interacted with him.

You act like he made some noble late-career shift to the business world. He "chased his dreams in the private sector" for a year and a half after failing to find a coaching job when his two-year analyst contract was up at Alabama. Politicians are absolutely gross. So is he.

Coaching is also a job in the private sector. I guess an argument can be made it's a public job, but you get hired and fired based on performance normally.

You can be bad with people and good at politics. Most of them are. I can say he’s bad with people because I have experience and many people who were around him have stories. Im not saying he’s a bad guy, but that he’s bad with people.Im not aware of him being known as a charming and personable fellow, but it seems you’ve had a different experience. That’s great.

Perhaps I'm wrong about him as a people person given yours and Deerpark's response.

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

Fulmer brought in Pruitt because he knew Pruitt understood how to play the game with “pay for play” recruiting. Pruitt had seen it plenty with Saban/Kirby.

Pruitt’s mistake was playing the game but not winning on the field, it made him low hanging fruit for the NCAA, who will turn a blind eye as long as you’re winning and bringing in money.

Fulmer had the right idea for us to compete. He knew you had to magically load your roster up with 5* players like Kirby did at Georgia.

Tubberville getting credit for taking advantage of the worst period for Alabama football in 40 years is akin to giving James Franklin credit for beating Tennessee when he was at Vanderbilt. They didn’t succeed, they just took advantage of gross incompetence on the parts of better programs.

Franklin at least has proven himself a solid coach at Penn State. He's done a really nice job there.

Tuberville had one great season with 3 first round picks in the backfield and has been mediocre his entire career before and after. Plus had one of the most disgusting coach leaving stories of the century. And he's a terrible person.

Anyone of us would have taken the job and $2 million if we were offered. I’m not sure Neyland could have done much with what Dooley inherited. DD was about three years away from being the next Auburn head coach. After Kiffen left town in the middle of the night, no one and that means no reputable, winning coach was coming to the dumpster fire in Knoxville. The fire was so bad, KFD wouldn’t even respond to calls.

Remember how excited the fan base was after his initial press conference? Y’all loved the southern accent and that he said “britches!” He wasn’t a good coach here, but he gave his all for UT, unlike Kiffy, Brickhead and Moneybags.

He would make a good Senator. Imagine the press covering his quotes and musings! Ossoff needs to go back to working for a community organizer, raising funds for woke initiatives. He is not for Georgians.

I am so disappointed in all of you that we are on page 6 of this thread without one singular Rommel reference. Do better.

Hey! I got close with my mention of red dog, orange dog and Nazis earlier. I still can’t believe the fact that this chump told Peyton Freaking Manning he needed to call first before showing up at the football complex or practices. What a total D nozzle.

Again I’ll say that his two victory’s which were snatched away after the final whistle blew in his first year are the reason he did not survive and prosper. He would still be here winning championships if LSU and NC were wins that stayed on the scoreboard!

The Republicans are determined to re-elect Ossoff.

Kemp must be planning a Presidential run. Think he is making a mistake. Trump will be against him, Vance is formidable and he was all but a shoo-in for Senator
