When Derek Dooley opened the floor for questions during a Monday gathering at the Knoxville Quarterback Club, he got peppered with plenty of questions. And he had answers.

i really never understand the negative comments about Dooley talking to the press. I always find his comments to be lucid, respectful and generally in good humor.
As far as being a little put-out with some press questions, many of those questions deserve that response.

Nice Wes. I love the objectives Dooley has set for the team to accomplish. He is a planner down to the smallest detail. I'm like volfan, I love Dooley. And I really like this entire staff of coaches. I thought they called a great game Saturday. Just didn't get executed to perfection. Fixable. GO VOLS!
BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

Hey guys I agree with you about Coach. He's the man. He can do this. I say we all commit to stay positive through this season. The negative talk and fire talk will do us no good at all. We've got to buckle up and support our team and school. Anyway, negativism just plain old sucks anyway. Go big Orange!

I agree. Negative talk will pull us down.
Dooley is a class act that has shown steady progress. No way to fix this quick - given where we started. He needs more time and strong support.

I have loved Dooley from day 1. I remember someone asking him a question kind of like, "How do we know you won't up and leave us next year like Kiffin?" Dooley answered something like, I told the guys when I first got here, I won't tell anyone you can trust me, but I'll prove it through actions. Dooley is giving his all for Tennessee and I am 150% behind him and the direction he is taking this program. Just think what Vol fans will be saying when the Vols win the National Championship in a few years with Dooley leading the way. Go VOLS!
Give Him Six!
