Who cares if he can spell, as lonng ass u cant tel wat hes said. These comments are so stupid. This is UT site, not a freakin spell checker.:crazy:

No, looking like someone that failed third grade a few times is stupid. How about a little personal pride? Or is that beneath you? Oh yeah that's right, the smart kids were the uncool geeks. You must be one of the 49%

CDD has at least been honest, we are not a good football team. Whatever the reason is, that is the truth, we are one of the worst teams in the SEC right now. All season long he has said we arent very good, but i thought thats just coaches talk, he was being serious, and this bull about "if he keeps saying it they eventually will believe it", they should believe it because its the truth, instead of whining and moping they should realize its the truth and work harder to get better.

You're close, we ARE the worst team in the SEC. We wouldn't even beat Ole Miss right now.

The "bray had the flu" quote is either a pathetic excuse to cover up poor focus and lack of game-planning or Bray did have the flu and this exposes fundamentally incontinent playcalling in addition to lack of game-planning.


Either possibility is pretty bad. Also, if you lament "we only got 61 rush yards"... bear in mind you ran it 16 times between Poole and Lane.

Your playcalling never put them in a situation to thrive from (the usual take a sack on 1st then run on 2nd down schtick).


Don't blame a sick QB. Blame yourself and your staff for putting this "young, not very good team" in a position to fail. This is entirely on you, Dooley, and it's high time you admit that publicly to the team and the fans who you've failed as a Head Football Coach.



Time to put on the big boy pants.

Ok...I am a strong supporter of DD. BUT, I am getting a bit wore out with his telling everyone we are not a good team....so yes, to the points being made, I think you have to blow sunshine inspite of the situation. Don't just beat em to death with news that they suck.

DD needs to consider his motivation scheme.

I think you tell folks the truth. If they aren't getting it done, they don't need to be made to believe they are. That is false incentive and does zero good. Lou Holtz was the worst bad mouther of his own team I ever heard and last I checked he was a pretty good coach. This team was bad. There's no way to sugar coat it.

I think we need to get behind the program more than every. How about a 100,000 at the spring game.... lets show some real support..

I grew up listening to the Vols on radio more than they ever got to play on TV ... in fact I remember watching the 1971 Sugar Bowl with UT going against Air Force on a 13 inch color tv that Dad just bought, our first color tv by the way. A few years before that, dad had a party when we all crowded around a black/white console to watch Oklahoma beat us in the Orange Bowl (1968).

The players played with passion and were proud to be called a Vol .... remember how Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds took the loss against Ole Miss when Archie Manning chewed them up for a 38-0 score on previous unbeaten Tennessee?
Old number 44 Bobby Majors was my football idol with his dangerous punt returns that scared many an opposing football team.

These guys bled orange and that's what I want to see back in the program for Volunteer football players. I personally believe that it all begins with strength and conditioning. We were manhandled pretty much by every team this year. Fundamentals ...... I watched Kentucky run the option quite a bit the other day. Though I've never played organized football (I have coached and played organized softball, baseball, and soccer) and even I know that in an option you have 2 defenders right there ... one to cover the QB and one to cover the pitchman. If the QB pitches, you stay on your man and make him pay! He'll be a little more cautious next time. Part of the game.

College football is a lot more civil now than it was years and years ago. I've heard stories from relatives that when my granddad play at Tennessee in 1921 under MB Banks and they still had leather helmets, my granddad, a defender, had a wingback coming at him and tried to stiff arm him. Granddad bit a plug out of his palm and made him fumble. Guy got up screaming "He bit me!" Ref asked, did you bite him and granddad spit out a piece of meat and said, "I did not!" True or not, I don't know. Fortunately, the players are a lot more protected now than they were 90 years ago but they should still keep the same winning attitude and play for keeps when they wear the ORANGE! Being stronger than your opponent is where it starts in my opinion. The sign above the door at Neyland says it all ....

Looking forward to a better year next season.

You are so right!!! So here i go....Derek Dooley you are an awful coach and you are the real reason why our team hasnt had any success since you've been HC. It sucks that our team can't build any confidence since you are always letting them know how bad they suck. I didn't know that was your primary job. Maybe there was something in the fine print that nobody else knew about.......Your salary will be 1.8 million a season and please at all times tell the team they suck. No wonder why your last year at Louisiana Tech was a pathetic 4-8. Stick to being a lawyer because when it comes to football you're just a loser but Tennessee however has never been, is not, and will never be an irrelevant team. So you can take your washed up behind back to LA Tech. We can do better. We deserve better. Check the top 10 most winningest programs of all time and you'll see what i'm saying. Whoooo that felt great! I wouldn't want Dooley to get any false incentive since he isn't getting it done cause that just does zero good! :salute:
