Newsflash: It took those coaches longer than Dooley to get their results at their programs.

I'm sure you follow all these programs closely and aren't just going on anything other than their record.

Dooley also took over UT in arguably its worst years when the SEC is at its most dominant. If you honestly believe any coach would have won the SEC or even came close with what Dooley was given, you are blind.


I don't think any coach would have won the SEC. I also don't think many would have embarrassed themselves like Dooley has.

You said the good ones don't make excuses and get results. Dooley took over a 3 win La Tech team and won them their first bowl game in over 20 years. He did that in 2 years. It is a fact he did faster than the other coaches. Is that saying he inherited a similar problem? I don't know, La Tech's rivals writer has said time and time again Dooley was given a hard job at La Tech.

Embarrassing how? A loss to UK? Spurrier lost twice to Vandy in a row, Saban lost to ULM, and Miles lost to Kentucky. Its seems every coach has embarrassing moments.
