Jone's and staff

  • After everything W/R/K have reported so far about our head coach and his staff,I just can't believe how dumb I was when it came to Dooley and his staff. I really and truly thought we were going in the right direction up until the Missouri game.
    I've been following the BIG ORANGE faithfully since I was 10,I'm 50 now and thought I knew what it took to have a winning football program.
    Coach Jones is everything Dooley was not and then some. This man can coach football and so can the staff he has assembled. Dooley does not have a clue and I don't know why I didn't see it.
    We are on our way back and I'm excited about our future in a big way. I could be missing something again I guess but I really don't think so.

    tom cat - you and I are on the exact same path here so don't feel like the lone ranger here. I started following the Vols at 7 or 8 years old and just over the mid century mark myself last year. More importantly i was all Dooley as well. Up to the Mizzou game. That turned it all around. That is when I knew....it all turned at that game. I was all in for Dooley and now seeing Butch and staff...plus al the things to come out since the coaching change...we were sucked into seeing through orange glasses. rockon

  • I completely agree. I almost feel bad for bashing Clay Travis all of the time as he was able to see right through the mess. I of course stuck up for Dools and now I look like the fool.

  • I think we now have the right coach (and staff) now to get it done. Dooley stepped into a very bad situation. I appreciate that he took the job and thank him for upgrading the talent (which he did - at least on offense) and for overseeing construction of the training facility (which is paying big dividends now). However, he was not a good game day coach and it now appears was not liked by many in-state HS coaches and players. To be fair, he did land some big in-state recruits. That stated - I can't remember the last in-state 5-sttar recruit UT landed this early (maybe J. Smith?). Things look like they are headed in the right direction.
