Who cares? What coach ever goes to a game week presser and craps on the opposing coach or team? It really means nothing
I also think this is a weak take. I think only a weak mind craps on folks when they speak highly of someone else, especially if they are friends.
I think Dooley is a lot more like Saban than some think. Dooley tried being a little too much like Nick without having the experience or accomplishments. Alienated a lot of people in and around the program. I actually think Dooley will be a much better head coach a second time around probably at a smaller program.Never said he was. But Saban talked up Dooley A LOT.
He's a coordinator at Mizzou though... one of the top 4 O's in the SEC with nowhere near top 4 talent.Dooley was never a coordinator under Saban.

Coaches don't like to lose. Many here want to believe that Jones was a better "coach" than Dooley. He isn't. Dooley made mistakes. He was a downright lazy and misguided recruiter. But he "coaches" at a higher level than Jones. There's a reason why Dooley got an NFL gig and then an opportunity to be Mizzou's OC while Jones can't find real work.
I think that... though there are many here that don't see it.Good points. This just further validates what I and many others have stated about what Pruitt truly inherited. While Dooley had the all time mistake of taking zero OL in 2012, he was a much better coach in all facets of the game.
He did. I like Fulmer. Really like him as AD to be truthful. But he got lazy and complacent. Discipline on and off the field fell off. He stopped holding assistants accountable. He held loyalty to guys who didn't really earn it by performance like Sanders. he made a lot of mistakes that ultimately hurt the program and cut his career much shorter than it should have been.Some have said Fulmer ran this program into a ditch.
Honestly, I think Pruitt should have done more than he has with what was left OR been much more decisive about cleaning up the roster. If he's got a bunch of problem holdovers... I think a lot of us would be more likely to forgive him for purging the roster and not winning immediately with youth than some of the stuff we've seen.If that’s the case then Butch drove it off a cliff. No TN football coach in modern history has inherited a worse program than Pruitt.
