Who likes coach Dooley?

  • Yes, I like him as a coach and as a person. I also think he will have us perennially contending for SEC Championships within the next 2 years. Get ready for some fun times, Vol fans!

    Its not a question of like or dislike. The question is can he get the job done and so far the early indicaters are no.But like i said that doesn't mean he can't. Some here need to ask themselves "do i love Tennessee or Dooley" For me i love Tennessee i have no love or hate for any coach. We need to decide do we want to win or do we want to be 8-4 or 9-3 every year. To me its no question i want to win at the highest level and if Dooley turns out hes the man to do that then fine. But i'm not gonna have blinders on and declare Dooley the savior when hes proven nothing. Theres nothing wrong withholding praise til praise is warrented. All this love Dooley is only gonna make it worse for him if he does fail. I can just here it now everything i'm telling you now will be repeated by an unhappy fanbase. And i could be a jerk and say i told you so but i won't. Cause i didn't tell you Dooley would fail i just told you that its highly unlikely that it worksout. Alot of you say give Dooley a chance well i am giving him a chance its the over the top lovefest crowd for Dooley thats not giving him room to breath!

    Just out of curiosity, what "early indicators" are you referring to that indicate he can't get the job done? In my opinion, nothing was proven this season, there are no indicators either way of whether or not he will succeed. But it is perfectly acceptable as a fan of a team to have hope for the future and for people to throw their belief behind a coach who is personable and seems to care a lot more than our previous HC.

    It "appears" that we are going to finish with a top 15 class this year coming off of a 6-7 season after playing something like 16 true freshmen, many of whom were in critical positions, in the SEC. I am genuinely looking forward to what indicators would have been sufficient for you this year.
