The CheckerBoard

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.

My exact thought as well after I finished reading this.

Even those of us who aren't!

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!
