@AJPDRUMKID I couldn't agree more. I like Dooley and I think he's gonna do good things for this program and the people who say different are the same dumbshits who got us into this mess when we had one bad season with Phulmer and they suddenly thought he needed to go. Some people just don't have patience and don't realize that these things take a little time so don't be so quick to think Dooley needs to go. GBO!
Yall need to quit hatin on Dooley, Jesus Christ, how shitty of a situation could a man possibly come into. And if that aint bad enough, we lose Janzen Jackson this year(the would-be leader of the defense), Tyler Bray(we wont have him against LSU and Bama), and Justin Hunter(out for the season). Almost the entire teams are freshman and sophomores with tons of talent but little experience(which is a huge deal). This negativity towards our coach, aint gonna help anything. Give it time yall! Go Vols
Dooley is not getting results, at some point there will be no excuse good enough. We are regressing and that does not speak well for the coaching staff
Waterin' bamboo... classic... translation: Keep paying me more than 2.5 million a year for mediocre football and keep the faith that one day in the future it might change... the team will be suddenly awesome ... but I cannot tell when that will happen... and there is nothing on my resume other than my last name to indicate there is any chance of that happening.
I love how Dooley says he is unaware that both Florida and Georgia are down this year because he doesn't pay attention to that kind of thing... it is an "absurd question"... then in almost the same breath he talks about the burden of having to play LSU and Bama back to back. He seems pretty aware they are having above average years. What a joke!
Alright look. Tennessee starts all underclassmen with the exception of Tauren Poole(Senior) Daryl Vareen (Senior) , and Zack Rogers (Junior). We have the talent, it's all there, it's just not experienced enough yet. We aren't knowledgable enough yet to compete with the uppper tier talent. And when you lose Tyler Bray, Tauren Poole, and Justin Hunter, i mean, that can't help either i would imagine lol. But don't count them out yet. We got a bitter team ready for revenge against LSU.
I think the only people that need to be replaced is you fair weather Vols fans. We have the right staff in place right now. When it is all said and done Coach Dooley will have a street named after him.
LIke it or not youth is a valid excuse. We have sophmores lining up every down. Yes other teams have youth but they dont make up the majority of the starting line up down after down.
Bad coaching and the head coach making excuses for the players not the coaching shortcomings...Wow yes we have young players but coach them up because you have freshman players running the ball up your ass! If Tennessee can't beat Vandy and UK run Dooley back to Georgia. And send this no run game pro style offense with him. Lets All take the Barbra Dooley approach...my baby.
@dtym31 I wish Dooley had the same fire he had a LA. Tech and the can win with what we with what they have! No doubt he is a good coach but lets get it figured out! I am not a fair weather Vol fan at all I still have all my Orange and wear it everyday, good bad and ugly. But seven years and the same excuses. Tauren Poole (Senior) has done nothing that I have seen this season to help UT win games or put points on the board! If Dooley dont have back ups ready to fill the shoes of the starters.SOS!
@htaylor101 i think he does have the same fire, but yes poole needs to step up big time. i think devin young should be the running back. he is doing the best running the ball. even if it is on returns, should give him a try.
dtym31 I agree that we cannot run the ball, what I do'nt understand is why we even bother to try. It is evident that the only running game we have is through the middle for short yardage. If we line up off the ball in shotgun and do runningback draw plays after we throw it out of shotgun then that will work much better than lining up in the iso and running the ball.
@daniel4free idk why we do. we had negative yards against Fla and we didnt do anything against GA now. what i think though is we should let Devin Young our returner start running the ball. he is doing the best when running with it IMO
I have no clue why Jim Chaney is coaching our offensive players. We run out of the easiest play calls. We would have better chance lining up in the shotgun every single play. And then run draw plays through the gut, because marlin lane does not have the speed and the ability of mind to get to the outside quick. We had fewer run yards than carries!
@daniel4free we can't run the ball though. We are not getting the blocks. We would be better off letting bray throw it cause we can't run against a good defense
Looks like CDD is feeling a little of what the fans have been feeling for the past 4-5 seasons.These kids are a foundation for the future and most of them try their best every time they see the field but,they are stopped by not having a complete supporting cast.First string players are viable second and third string are way below par at spots.
The team is young, and I think we can all agree with that. That being said though, we have got to get some kind of running game going and since losing hunter we need to get a deep threat receiver besides D. Rodgers and our defense needs to step up a lot or LSU and Alabama is going to run though us bad.
@jonathan6272 We're always blaming someone. C'mon we have young players out there getting alot of reps. The only thing i saw wrong was we were getting burned alot and had no safeties in position to help. If uga had tbray as their QB, they would have beat us by 50. But we only gave up 20 to a pretty good SEC offense! If anything, it was our offense that sucked yesterday.....
