Alabama has "Ears" Whitworth
Auburn has Doug Barfield
LSU has Curly Hallman

...You get the idea. Where will Dooley rank in the list of all-time worst SEC football coaches?

He is the worst coach at Tennessee in the modern era by a sizable margin.

4-19 in SEC play.

Lost his last game against both UK and Vandy.

Very sub-par recruiter.

I would say bottom ten all time in the SEC.

Lane Kiffin won as many SEC games in one season as Dooley did in 3 years.

Worse than Mike Dubose, better than Curley Hallman.

Dooley is the worst coach in UT history. I'd say he is in the bottom 5 in SEC history, but I don't know all of the coaches from each SEC school.

Pretty damn impressive indeed. But it makes sense that Dooley is worse than Joker. Dooley came into a football program that had more prestige, more history, and more resources than Joker and came up with very similar results.

If a coach comes in and does good next year, I think that will make him seem even worse.

No disrespect to Derek Dooley or what the Vol fans have been through the last couple of years - but Curly Hallman was the worst mistake LSU has made in the past 60 years.

Lets see. Dooley has a .174 winning percentage against SEC opponents. Yep, he's the worst in UT history.

Curley Hallman had a .323 winning percentage against conferences opponents.

I honestly can't remember a worse coach walking the sidelines of a big time program.

Still, Kiffin pretty much sabotaged the program before he left, so its hard to completely blame him. That being said, pretty damn high.
