Not sure what game you were watching, but it was obvious that when we got down 7, the whole attitude of the team changed. There was no energy, no leadership, no one getting in anybody's face to light a fire, just everyone looking around with their hands up. Passes sailing over heads, lineman not holding blocks, attempted arm tackling, etc. BTW - Teague was out of position because the whole D was looking around for someone to tell them what the assisgnment was.
It's a shame there are still fans who stick up for Dooley, fans who seem to think Dooley could be the answer. People like YOU are what pains ME.
You know what? The fact of the matter is that all those things ARE Dooley's fault, albeit indirectly. Bray sucked because he wasn't ready. Same with the receivers. Everybody panics and loses focus the moment Florida draws even. And oh boy, once we were behind in the 2nd half, that was the ballgame. We practically gave up at that point.
We appear to have learned NOTHING from last year. That falls on the HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, Mr. Derek Dooley. Sorry. All you have to do is watch the players' body language. That will tell you the whole story.

Was it Dooleys fault Bray couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight? Was it Dooleys fault Hunter and CP dropped passes? Was it Dooleys fault the D was gased cause our offense couldnt convert in the 2nd half? Our boys were off tonight and too many of you are just too F***in stupid to just support our guys and move on! The players did not execute and we lost!!
Theres a long way to go. Learn from it and move on. It pains me that so many Vol fans are F***in retards!
Flame away!!!!
OK op is a freaking retard... TN is soft they suck from an adjustment standpoint n cdd is the captain .. he goes down with the ship he kept coach chaney so he should be fired... move on TN vols n get someone who can recruit....
Probably the stupidest of all the anti Dooley posts. We were at rock bottom when Dooley got here. If you can't see the difference between the talent we have now and the talent left after Kiffin left, then you should probably stick to softball.
Well, I do think you have to have been there to fully understand. I was a boxer for 11 years, I usually dont get into confrontations on this board but some of the comments tonight really pissed me off! It could also be the beer.![]()
We were down 7, forced a punt as AJ made a play. Didn't do anything on O. Got them in 3rd and 9, still down 7 with under 10 minutes left in the game, and they hit a 80 yard pass on a hitch route. Some of the things you mentioned did happen, but that doesn't mean they quit. Not hard to understand the difference, but most people on here are drama queens that make knee jerk reactions. People were going to crown DD and TN back with a W, but a loss means the team quit.
Ridiculous. I expect it out of drunk kids on here, but the adults look like morons.
Good argument. Attack the person and not his point. Solid.
He disagrees with you, so he must not understand the game.
I understand football perfectly well and let me tell you something. All you had to do was watch the players' body language to tell that they did not know what was going on or what to do once things went bad. A team, in crunch time, takes after its coach. Teams with good coaches stay cool. Teams with bad coaches don't. We have a bad coach.
How long did Bama stick with Shula?
Florida with Zook?
How many SEC championships and NC's have those 2 schools have since they made those changes?
I know the comparisons are not exact (UT talent wise was pretty barren when DD took over), but to win in this league, you have to hire the best.
Is DD the best?
Most on here realize that we now have an adequate sample size of Dooley's ability to coach, and he's just in way over his head, pure and simple. It's not a knee jerk reaction. It was the biggest game of Dooley's coaching career, and tonight was what we got. What more do you need to see?

No flame needed.
He's recruited the majority of the roster here, he's hired the majority of the coaches here, he's 0-11 against ranked teams here at UT, and he's not beat a SEC team with league record at or above .500.
Those are facts, and the sooner people understand that the buck stops with him, the sooner people will understand that he has no clue how to build an SEC winner.
Also, what I once considered his main source of life support, Tyler Bray, proved to me tonight that he's not ready for the NFL. Bray hasn't beat anyone of any significance, and looks pedestrian at best against higher level SEC defenses. Nothing showed me that he can do it at a higher level tonight.
