Interview with Coach Dooley...

I don't think people are trying to get their anti-Dooley posts in so they can tell you "I told you so" later on. I think most people were just disappointed that we didn't get a more recognized name that they could be more excited about. I was slightly because I know that that can hurt recruiting initially, but future recruiting will be based only on his performance, not on the level of national excitement and respect when he was hired. I hope he does make a name for himself in the next few years obviously. I was very skeptical at first, but every time I hear something from him, or see him on ESPN, or see an interview... I like him more and more. I think more of the naysayers will be coming around soon, they will just have to see more results (which he can't give now because it's so early in recruiting and he hasn't coached any games yet). So, they are basing their biases on a disappointment in national recognition and also because of the way we were rejected by several coaches. It's not Dooley's fault, obviously... and he hasn't done anything wrong, or anything to deserve it. He's just in an unfortunate situation because he can't really prove them wrong right now. The worst part of his situation is that if his lack of name recognition (think resume here) hurts his recruiting ability initially, it will hurt his performance in the near future... which can continue in a vicious cycle of mediocrity. I think that's why people are so worried, not because they personally hate the guy or want him to fail.

The guy just sounds like he knows what he is talking about. 7 years with Saban clearly rubbed off on him.

At times last year I wondered what in the hell FLK was talking about sometimes. And the nervous leg-rubs and elbow rubs made it seem like everything he said was him lying through his teeth.

FLK. That's the first time I've seen that one. :post-4-1090547912:

They Can Still Believe And Not Be Negative

He went 4-8 in his third year in the WAC, yet procures the head coaching job at UTk? That's a downright disgrace.
Also very telling that he was unable to hire any big-time assistants, thus settling for the Hinshaws and Russells of the world.

Hahahaha. Haha. Ha. You just made it a lot easier to brush off everything you say.

Kiffin lying?? No way, he would never do that. He's a man of integrity and ethics. :crazy:

Yeah integrity and ethics win you championships and the lack of either will lead you to an unsuccessful career. Afterall, one of the most unethical coaches, Urban Meyer, is extremely unsuccessful.

Everything I have seen you post has been wrong, stupid, or a combination of the 2. It must suck being you.

Well, as much as I HATE HATE HATE to admit this, Florida isn't on probation, and the NCAA hasn't setup camp down there yet. So, that statement doesn't realistically hold much water. As a rival fan though, I hate that man. :)

Yeah, I have a really rough life.

Go easy on me, especially when it involves anything requiring brain activity.

I mean, anyone who thinks negatively of the almighty Derek Dooley's abilities is obviously insipid. It's not like he's a proven loser or anything.

Urban bends recruiting rules to the maximum but he has never broken any major ones. Call it unethical, but that's what you need in a coach, especially in the SEC. Kiffin seemed similar and I like that in a coach. I don't know enough about Dooley's recruiting so I won't comment on that.
