This just got interesting for Saturday's game. I wonder how the players respond without the coach at practice and in the booth Saturday. Get well Dooley.

He already broke his hip?
Dang, the stress of coaching at Tennessee has aged him very quickly.
I hope he makes a speedy recovery!

Derek Dooley has everything in control of his coaches from the coach box. He doesn't say how, but has a system. We need this signature win...

Odd fracture for a man his age. Stress fracture? Traumatic injury? Hope it is not a sign of something more serious.

Prayers for a speedy recovery for Coach Dooley. After the win Saturday night with him in the pressbox, does he stay there?

John Palermo was the interim head coach when he was at Wisconsin during the Minnesota game in 1999 when Barry Alvarez was in the hospital recovering from hip surgery ironically. Wisconsin won 20-17 in overtime en route to the Rose Bowl that year.

I thought that he looked a little gaunt in pics of him the last couple of days. Must have been in a lot of pain.

Get well soon Coach Dooley, we need you back on the sidelines. Hoping for a big win in Starkville but this team will be "tuff" to beat home. It can be done if the turnovers for the Vols are minimized. By the way the designated coach on the sidelines should have on orange pants.

Should we win, Dooley will be glad to hear support for him to stay off the sidelines....

Unfortunately, I believe this to actually be the case.
