has made Vandy a new football team. They are playing with a fire in their belly I have never seen before. He may end up getting a lot of votes for SEC coach of the year. I am really impressed with his ability to make his team competitive. He has his kids believing. Kentucky isn't much but how he played Fl. and has his team running the ball is impressive. He deserves a lot of credit. It is going to be a tough game when the Vols suit up against them, take that to the bank.

Don't they have like 30 or so on their team? It makes a difference when you take over a team and they have experience and talent.

You say you are a fan, but said more good things about another coach and team than I have ever read from you about UT. Constantly badmouthing UT, and praising the competition, can get you labeled pretty easily.

OP troll and CDD hater.

Edit: Check his previous posts, it's well documented.

a grad, season ticket holder and VASF member for many years, don't think that qualifies. As for a Dooley hater no but as someone who wants Tennessee to win I am no fan of his coaching ability. If that qualifies as a troll then so be it.

He is also the quarterback at Mizzou, who is beating the longhorns right now.


Been saying it for weeks. Vandy is going to cause a meltdown on this website after next week.

30 upperclassman, who were Vandy recruits. Just sayin. Franklin is getting more out of less, something I've yet to see Dooley accomplish.

If you are going to use it Franklin, then you have to use it for Dooley. He almost beat a LSU team that was a lot better than this year's Arky team and he "technically' beat a North Carolina team with 2-3 first round picks this year

How do you know about his coaching ability?


So Patton would have been able to switch sides and win any battle in WWII because he was a superior commander.

Its has nothing to do with the soldiers actually fighting the battle?

Franklin has done well with Vandy but this is his first year. Lets see what happens in yr 2, 3, etc... One thing for sure we're either gonna have problems with Vandy or the Ky game will be business as usual

I wonder if Vandy has a thread on their board titled "Derek Dooley" that talks about how he's inherited a dumpster fire of a situation and has still won all the games he was favored to win, despite catastrophic injuries to his already depleted roster. And how he's doing a wonderful job in recruiting, despite a losing record in back to back years, with 2 top 15 classes in a row and is doing even better this year, likely ending up in the top 10, even approaching top 5. Maybe that thread even says that Derek Dooley sure is doing a pretty damn good job considering everything he's had to deal with. And maybe that thread on a Vandy message board says they have no doubt that once that talent he's brought in becomes experienced upper classmen, the Vols will be back to winning Championships. Maybe...

All we gotta do is look at your posts, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that thinks so. Troll.

It's useless arguing with him, kinda like arguing with SmokyVol. Easiest just to call him out for what he is and let it be.
