When asked about his decision to burn his last timeout and if he thought Shaw was out of bounds he had this to say...

"Well I thought he was out of bounds but he wound it (the clock) so I don't have time to argue."

What?!? Kidding me, right?

If Dooley thought he was out of bounds why in the hell did he not challenge the call? He has the right to request a review of a play each half as long as he calls a timeout to do so. Since he called timeout and said he thought he was out of bounds why did he not challenge it?

Here is a guy who many think is coaching in a game that will decide his future at UT. We're down by three late with precious seconds ticking off the clock and it never crosses his mind to challenge the call that even he admitted thought was wrong.

Wow, really? If anyone else still thinks Dooley deserves another year I'm not sure what more proof you need to realize he's way in over his head here. This is Tennessee and poor game management like this is absolutely unacceptable.

I'm not saying that the outcome would've been different but it dang sure wouldn't have hurt to have that extra 40 seconds and that timeout. Instead our coach just shrugs his shoulders and says he didn't have time to argue.

Thanks for all your hard work trying to get this program back to where it belongs, Derek, but it's time you start packing your bags.

Edit- here's the link in case anyone is interested (4:10 mark)

Didnt impact the outcome? Having a timeout in your pocket and more time on the clock completely changes the plays you run. I agree that DD was stupid not to challenge that call. Dont matter now but dang man, sick of decisions like this from DD. IMO

Is it only in the NFL that coaches challenges aren't allowed with less than two minutes to go?

Agree. It's just another mistake. I don't think it would have at all effected the outcome but it made no sense that he didn't argue to get the t.o. back. He's made much bigger mistakes though. I think his policy of not trying to convince assistants to stay is huge. If Wilcox were still dc Dooley would probably still have his job next year.

It obviously didn't because he clearly stepped out.

Why do you think Dooley didn't challenge if he thought he was out of bounds?

So challenge it. If you're wrong you're charged with a TO anyway. At least get something out of it.

Ok you have a few details wrong.

First and foremost the officials missed this called! Dooley correctly called TO because the official did start the clock, and if he hadnt called TO and argued like you said he should we would have lost 10 or more seconds. So smart move by Dooley!
Now after that it gets a little fuzzy. Im still mad that the officials didnt look at this up stairs and correct the call. That play was on 3rd down so we didnt lose 40 seconds. So you are wrong about that as well. I dont blame this on Dooley at all!

First of all, he did the right thing by calling the timeout to stop the clock but then he screwed up by not requesting a review after the timeout.

And where did I say he should've argued instead of calling a timeout???

Also no matter what down it was we did lose 40 seconds because the clock would've stopped since he ran out of bounds.

Are you seriously going to argue that DD didnt need to challenge that call? I realize the game is over but you think that timeout and time on the clock was not important? Do you know anything about running a 2 min offense? TO's and time are pretty important! Now you know. Ignorance is not terminal but you can die with it!

Car Pickens, still waiting for your reason why you think he didn't challenge the call?

And if you don't think 40 seconds & a timeout wouldn't matter in that situation you're nuts.

I'm not 100% certain he could challenge it at that point.....it didn't effect the outcome so stop whining

I've never said that I was....I've only argued against some of the irrational BS that gets posted.....I've definitely given him the benefit of the doubt, but there is NO excuse for this year's ex lax D

Can't blame Dooley on this one.

Another SEC officiating crew mistake. And that includes the 'review' ref in the press box. Ritter and crew are way overrated.

Not saying Dooley is a good HC but you missing the point. He said and meant that he thought the guy was out of bound but did take time out as he didnt want to take a chance if refs don't give it. When he said he didnt want time to wound down he meant he didnt want to wait for refs call and let time pass by of they don't call it out and he has to call the time out !!
simple as that genius
