Dooley isn't playing QB, Dooley isn't playing RB, Dooley isn't playing Defense and making tackles, and Dooley doesn't have the magical power to go into people's minds and change them so they don't quit. Players loses games not the head friggin coach. ESPN knows what they are talking about when they said that we will finish 8-4 with a loss to UF. ESPN also said that we will make a Championship run in 2013. Be patient, give him time. This loss sucks balls I know. Give the man one more year it will be the end of his contract then we can talk about firing a coach.

So Saban deserves no credit for winning since players win?

We should also let Bray run practice and come up with a gameplan. Oh, Hunter can call the plays and can make the decisions, too.




Stupid thread is stupid. Dooley just isn't a good coach. Great guy, bad coach.

The schedule is too hard to make the run. Blame mike hamilton, you get what you pay for.

Dooley is the coach and his team quits ends of story.

The only thing is, the leadership of the team. Lathers is a leader, Bray SHOULD BE. He acted like one when the game was close, but the whole team crumbled when their QB quit working too. He was showing relapses of the Kentucky game. He didn't want to be out there, his throws were lazy, he still had 9 minutes to score 2 times. When we scored on previous drives in 3 plays for 60+ yards. It wouldn't have been impossible, if he would have led a scoring drive, it would have got the defense back on their toes and could have stopped Florida. It didn't happen like this and we got down 14 and Bray quit.

I'm not blaming him for everything (I have Obama for that). I blame Dooley for the fact that his team consistently quits competing in the second half of football games.

You can't give credit when a coach wins and give him no blame if he loses.

Dooley is responsible for how his team performs on the field. It's why he gets paid a couple million a year. Why do people not understand this?

Coaches dont prepare the QB
Coached don't prepare the RB
Coaches don't prepare the defense
Coaches don't prepare players to tackle
Coaches don't prepare players to block
Coaches don't have the ability to create an eviroment where players quiting is not an option.

Did I sum up your argument? Really.

If an Army loses a war, is it not the General who is at fault? Is he not the one who teaches them to fight, is he not the one who motivates them, is he not the one who determines the battle strategy?

Then Fulmer never should've been fired. He didn't lose to UK, Vandy, Memphis, and Wyoming. It was the players.

And yes, I'm a big Fulmer supporter, but I also really like Dooley and want him to succeed. But he must be held to the same standards and all that Fulmer was.

Lathers played his ass off for four quarters though. He and Johnson were the only ones who did.

The gameplan work for most of the game. Once UF figured it out it was over.

Ya thats right its all the players fault. Thats like blaming a kid for failing a test for the teacher not teaching. Its not all one or the others fault but it falls more on coaching than anything.

I just wanna know why we cant line up in the I and run the ball down a defenses throats. Running these little draws out of the pistol aint cutting it. If we had a good run game I would have confidence in everygame left on the schedule except BAMA.

Not arguing with you Roamin, but let's say this is a restaurant. GM is in charge of everything. Host don't do their job-customers don't get their seat. Server screws up-customer not happy. Cooks screw up, etc. What I am trying to get at is that at multiple positions the leader is ultimately responsible for the end result. He needs to be accountable. I want him to succeed. Last night in a drunkin' stupor I said fire him multiple times. Today, I just want him to get this team playing the best that they possibly can....that is not happening yet. They have no heart and drive. In public companies the investors call the shots, everything is about the shareholders. College football is no different.

Dooley is a great Head Coach on Sunday thru Friday. Likeable guy, good recruiter.

However HFC is a Saturday thru Saturday job. He has to actually win games.

I thought it was the coach and coaching staff's job to teach and motivate the players,
to teach the the techniques required to perform to the level necessary to be competetive and instill in them the determination to fight to the end.

Knowing how to win is not the important part of being a head Coach. A lot of coaches know the process on how to win. Being able to get your players to do so is the most important part. Your argument is basically saying that head coaches should not be held responsible
For their team's record because ultimately they are not the ones playing. This is completely ridiculous. Derek Dooley has done some good things. Unfortunately, getting his players to win is not one of them. He is 0-11 against ranked opponents. Tennessee could hire you or I right now and we could produce that same result. 0-11 is
0-11 no matter how you slice it. Derek Dooley's future is in Athletic Directing, not Head coaching. Good guy. Horrible coach.
