That was a good read. Derek obviously wasn't cut out for a job at a big time program. To be fair, Tennessee didn't have much of a choice unless they wanted a returning assistant serving as an interim, which would've been for the best in hindsight.

His biggest mistakes were alienating himself from former players and hiring Sunseri to coach the defense. The offseason prior to 2012 couldn't have been handled any worse by him.

OMG! Sunseri was a nightmare.

Dooley also ignored recruiting. Did not recruit a single O-lineman one year. That is SEC suicide.
