It doesn't matter. Dooley has had to start from scratch with this UT team. All that means is that Dooley can get recruits to come here easier, it does not change the difficulty of the rebuilding job.

quote:
Hoke won 12 games and a conference title at Ball State. He then took over a 2 win team at San Diego State that hadn't had a winning season in over a decade and he won 9 in his second year.

If you don't see how Golden improved Temple, you're either trolling or stupid.

Dooley on the other hand, ended up getting passed up by Idaho while he was at Louisiana Tech.

You said much better. It took Hoke 5 years to win 12 games at Ball State, 4 years to have a winning record.

Dooley took over a 3 win team and won 8 games and a bowl game for the first time in over 20 years. The 4 losses he had was against Kellen Moore, Colin Kaepernick, an 8-5 Kansas team, and Army.

When did I say Golden didn't improve Temple? When did I ever say that? I think Golden is a great coach, which is why I use him in this argument. BTW, that Idaho team went to a bowl game.

You were acting as if we can't see past the losing record and that's all we're judging Dooley on. That's not true. If there was reason to believe Dooley had the ability to win big here, I would be a little more optimistic. But the reality is he was just a shot in the dark by a desperate athletic director.
