So when Phil went 5-7 with much better rosters twice in 4yrs what was that? You don't know anything that goes on in that locker room any more than we do. I see you also conveniently dismiss recruiting like it doesn't matter, and anything positive being done for the program as whole is irelevant to you. You also fail to acknowledge any reasons, and they were many and legitimate for this seasons troubles. You are just another *****y little pissant fulmer gobbler.

Mght be onto something.

Talent without proper coaching means nothing. Fulmer needed to go...the game had left him behind. Oh, and thank you for being the first to prove my point about many of the pro-Dooley posters on here :)

There we go again your anti dooley posts are so much more important than pro dooley posts lol. wow a real piece of work.you are my friend,.go do everyone a favor and live out your glory days telling other teams how someone should run a program. Obviously your qualified

Regardless of what we think of him he has to stay, 4 coaches in 5yrs is never good for a program. After this recruiting class, if Dooley doesn't improve in 2012, we will have some horses for another coach to come-in and achieve some moderate success and continue to build upon. If we got rid of him now, then we'd likely lose players to attrition and a lot of players out of the current class, thus putting us back to square 1 since we don't have a lot of talent on this team. Also, I just don't see any coaches out there that are must-haves if we fired Dooley right now.

I don't see too many saying Dooley will take us to the top and agree with most of what you said. However, it is too early to fire Dooley because of what happened prior to his tenure. At least one more year to stock the shelves then make that decision if he doesn't turn it around....but like you said, there is little so far to make us think he will. Man I hope we get a proven coach if they let him go.

then what's the point?

It's not coaching you are talking about. It's magic. You don't take a team that is mostly true sophs and FR, and then make them play without their 2 best offensive and 2 best defensive players and expect them to magically play at the level of veteran SEC teams. That is madness and delusion. Or just stubborn impatient idiocy.

Doesn't matter that he was a scout guy or not. He played under Fulmer who most view in the same way as he views Dooley so it ruins his credibility. He didn't specify if playing for Fulmer helped identify a bad team by him being on a good team or a bad team so he left a loophole.

The point about pro-Dooley posters is to point out that many of them dismiss people who are not happy with Dooley as "idiots", "people who know nothing about building a program", etc..

If you are happy with Dooley, that is fine, but do not trash others and ignore the facts.

Actually experiencing a situation makes a person more capable of speaking about it, IMO

Experiencing??? Doubt it read the board again.. I got as much experience as that guy with playin back yard football at this point and time

Star players do not wait until they are juniors and seniors to step-up and make an impact. Look at how many freshmen and sophomores play at Alabama? Granted they have more depth...and expectations here are not at that level either. Players get hurt...that's all part of the game. Good coaching can prepare kids to step-up when the opportunity presents itself.

How about a guy like Craig Faulkner? Was he a big-time recruit? No, but he was well coached and played with discipline and poise. Good coaches can get the most out of average players.

They're not gonna hear what you're trying to tell them.
I personally think the answer on CDD comes next year. There's no way to tell from this year. There were just to many variables to know one way or the other. That's why I've started trolling in these threads.

Good post OP. Despite the chicken littles on here and the chicken crap thrown at you, your analysis is spot on. There is abasolutely no evidence that the Doolander can beat an SEC team with a winning record next season. There is no evidence at all in his coaching career that he can lead a team back from a deficit in the second half. Both mean that he has not shown the ability to lead a team to do more than they do when the ball is kicked off to start a game.

The players have not bought in because the coaching staff is not on the same page with each other and many are not of a caliber that will lead the program where it needs to go. The players is where it starts and ends. Very few want to practice before the sun comes up. Very few want their tails cussed out every day with sarcastic comments made to the media. They see Doolander and the boys making dumb game management and play call decisions and lose their passion and focus. It's simply not about inexperience or depth any more. They had the full boat of 80+ to work with this year and the whole thing regressed.

I am glad you find it funny...I have a bulging disc and pinched nerve that flare up from time-to-time to this day as a result.

I was a DT...we should meet sometime and talk about it.

I'm not finding where he laughed. Think you mistaking him for someone else. Maybe I missed something.

CF was all heart. My dog could have coached him up. He was going to maximize his talents threw hard work and the coach in front of him didn't matter. That's how God made him.
