Funny what happens to losing programs....

Give it about two more seasons when all of these same people turn on Butch Jones.

Dooley is a good coach and had a tough go at UT. You guys keep bashing his head in, but he is not as bad as UT "fans" make him out to be.

Kiffin shafted you guys, I can honestly see the anger and resentment. But okay we get it, you think Derek Dooley single handedly destroyed your program, and that Butch Jones is going to save the program and bring it back to where it once was. But Butch Jones' track record isn't/wasn't any more or less impressive than what Derek Dooley's was, before he got to UT.

There are positives and negatives to every coaching tenure. Every time an argument is brought up regarding UT football, you guys hide behind Derek Dooley as your lone reasoning.

I know someone personally that played for Coach Dooley at La Tech, said consistently he was one of the nicest and most genuine coaches he had ever met. That he was the most available and open coaches he had ever been coached by. That does not change over night.

1). I am not a Rocky Top fan.
2). Rocky Top is right behind Auburn on my list of teams I hate
3). This happened before Dooley was fired (his last season I think)
4). I didn't argue anything for or against Dooley, I simply shared a story of my experience.
5). Dooley according to this player was a loose canon, temperamental, etc. Our position coach even co-signed it.
6). I don't really care if you believe me or not, again just shared an experience.
