Kids in SC dont give a rats ass about TN. USC now has as good or better facilities as UT. Just saying.
Well, there you have it. LMAO. Now, Cock, tighten your chinstrap, son. Yep, I said SON. This is a family fight, so carry your cock-a$$ back to your own board and be afraid......be very, very afraid. Flame away, Cock. Until you can carry your lame a$$ over here to pop off sporting a much better record than 26-6-2 you are a snippy little lap puppy snipping at the heels of a real big dog. A season or two does not a legacy make. On second thought, live in bliss until gameday.

How did USCe do it ? How did they hire a proven , national champion coach , to come to a dead end job , I've read on here how no big name coach would ever consider coming to UT that's a bunch of b. s. you pay the cash they will come .
OMG, are you serious? This is insane!!! Do you think that during their (prospective coaches) assesment that they thought this was 1999, cuz tonight that's how you are partying, Prince. This program was in SHAMBLES and SC is at the epicenter of S.Eastern recruiting. Their fans and staff had NO unrealistic expectations because they had always SUCKED. It was the PERFECT job. Keep your day job and don't ever try to point a family member towards their "perfect career", please.

Wow, never been called a Prince by a ballbreaker , you miss the point entirely though , if they sucked so bad , and the fan base had no expectations , why waste his time ? Thanks for the advice though .

SelmerVol, for the second time tonight, I feel someone would truly like to hear one sides take on how S.C. DID suck and why it was the perfect, no-brainer job situation for CSS,If you allow me 3 minutes to enjoy my evening pipe, I'll give you my TRUE answer to your question. Deal?

I wonder how Spurrier did at lower-tier programs like Duke. I wonder how head salesman did at Louisana Tech.

Comparing Dooley to Spurrier? Really? Why not compare a bologna sandwich to Thanksgiving Dinner? Both will keep you from starving, but that's where the comparison ends. You may as well be comparing some middle relief pitcher on the Indians to Justin Verlander. It's not fair to Dooley. If Spurrier was the bar you set for him, then no wonder you aren't happy with him. Newsflash. You haven't had a coach since General Neyland who belongs in the same conversation as Spurrier. Those guys don't grow on trees.

Your Coach was first drawn to Augusta. He loved it and wanted to stay near the course and be able to have a beach house and beach life, boogie boarding, ocean swimming and the perfect thing is that it was close to the mountains. So, the worlds greatest Golfcourse, Beach life, mountains and a desire to give the ole ball coach one more run and a fan base that is completely on FIRE that "Spurrier is HERE"!!. He knew that S.C. fans expect nothing, will give him time while remaining loyal and supportive, with every inch of positive progression, and be contenet that good times were a comin'. Everyone knew. Being that he would have eastern Ga, SC, NC and Florida (name recognition and track record) all at his fingertips and and the knowledge that he could create an "invisible Fence" and end the migration of great players from the home state school and, instead, keep them instate. That is the perfect, relative situation. Then you "ante up" and BAMMM!! Beautiful and mutually beneficial contract. Here ya have it. That is why. Nothing but upside is where you want to start ANY job. That is the juxtaposition between the Tn job and what Surrier wanted from where he was in life. Polar opposites. So, that is why you sucked and he came anyway. Honestly, the cupboards had tools to work with, but Spurrier knew they could be better utilized and were there already. That's it. That's why.

No. You see, the OP was being critical of Dooley by comparing him to Spurrier and his argument falls short here.......one of the main deciding factors was that the program HAD athletes.....doorsteps or not. He would be at the epicenter, geographically. of college recruiting and would put a fence around the state with a willing fanbase treating him like a god. See, those are totally different circumstance from what CDD inherited. Got it?
While we are on the subject, you DO seem overly possesive like you are his dad or son. May I remind you that he is NOT a Florida or SC man.....he is a Tennessee man....not the U, just his home state. The cradle of coaches. Middle and East Tn. At one modern time 4 of the top 5 teams in the country were coached by Tennessee born and raised head coaches. So why don't you carry your gator/cock right back over to your board and call it a night on the history lessons that ya'll demand.

"since Dooley came"??? Seriously, you guys are looking really stupid. I mean, I'm not going to interfere. I just want you to tell me the story about the decline happening "when Dooley came" again. I'm getting sleepy and that makes me smile.
It is more about the decline of UT football. I'm sure Dooley has some small part of that, as did Kiffin and Fulmer (throw Hamilton in there too). The point is, he was 18-22 in the SEC prior to 2010, and 14-5 since. The 2009 UT team finished ahead of USCe in the SEC East.

TROLL ALERT!!! Don't you have a fan board for the bugg-eyed, emotional basket case somewhere to hang out on?

That's good run at Carolina... Anyone stop to think where Spurrier is coaching? A place with absolutely no history of success... He also has a NC, 7 SEC championships and a lot of wins over ranked teams...

Dooley got dealt a bad hand... What he's done here under any other circumstances would have already gotten him fired... They're being patient because of the situation. He's running out of time and opportunities to state his case to be around much longer...
Unless he starts winning some games, a 5 year rebuild just isn't going to happen.

steve superior's resume includes about 7 conference championships and a NC.

past performance is the best predictor of future performance.

CDD's resume includes, what?

This thread is silly. I hate spurrier, but dude is a legendary coach. And he is even better now than the 90's. DD has proven nothing.

What is wrong with you people? Spurrier beat Tennessee and Florida in his first season at South Carolina. Dooley is in his 3rd year here and hasn't beaten anyone. Before Spurrier got to South Carolina, they had finished ranked in the AP top 25 a grand total of 5 times (only 3 times in the 20th century). They had been to bowl games in consecutive years only twice. Tennessee is one of the top 10 winningest football programs of all time. Comparing the two is utter desperation and absolute foolishness.

yeah but we weren't in the top 25 hardly at all in 2008 or 2009. and then same deal in 2010-11, so i'm not sure why all of a sudden we are supposed to be there all the time now. dooley got us there for the first time in five seasons.

Huh? Does that pass for logic where you are from? Tennessee is out of the top 25 for a few years and that means the program is the same "historicly" as South Carolina? What are you talking about?

S Carolina has more talent in state than tenn. toughter for us to recruit here. plus, they get a bunch of kids from NC Too. also they have underarmor and that's cool.

yeah, it's crazy how with all those advantages and all of UT's disadvantages, coach after coach have won championships here over the past 100+ years, while South Carolina has been utterly irrelevant for all but a handful of years. Hmmm...wonder what has changed in recent years? Could it be that South Carolina hired a proven coach with a history of success and UT hired a guy who has never accomplished anything?

Our facilities aren't on par with Tennessee's yet. We don't even have a full-scale indoor facility.

I have seen a lot of people comparing Dooley to Spurrier at South Carolina. Saying Spurrier coaches up 3 stars and makes them better. Whoever is saying this obviously knows nothing about Spurrier at USCe....

2005- 7-5
2006- 8-5
2007- 6-6- no bowl
2008- 7-6
2009- 7-6
2010- 8-5
2011- 11-2
2012- 5-0

This is Spurrier's 8th season and it took them until his 5th year to have them ranked and until his 7th to compete for the SEC east title. This is a dumb comparison and if it is true Dooley will have a breakthrough his 7th year. I think he will have a breakthrough much sooner....

Flame away...

How can anyone say Dooley coaches up 3 stars? He hasn't shown it yet.
