Didn't know the depth of Dooley's antics, but he did seem like an arse. Like someone else said, he was a Saban protege, and he acted like Saban... but didn't win like him.
I still remember the way he acted like a jackass during the 2010 LSU game. Sure, LSU was bumbling around trying to lose, but the penalty was legit; there were 13 players on defense. That wasn't a BS home-cooking call. You take the penalty (and loss) like a man, shake your opponent's hand, and deal with it.
Dooley acted like a drama queen about it, and refused to meet Miles at mid-field. That's just classless. As an example of the right way to handle it, Miles shook Saban's hand both times in 2012 (after the humiliating BCS game, and after losing in the last minute in the revenge game the following season).

Not to sidetrack this, but

quote:
As a UT fan in 2009, after kiffin bailed, we were only 2 years removed from a Berth in the SECC game. At that point, we were still relevant, and the debacle that has been the past few years hadn't happened yet, so we were blissfully ignorant. We had the feeling that yes we were in a slump, but we just needed to throw a fresh mind in there, get some stability back, and we'd go right back to competing for the east every year. It doesn't matter who we bring in, as long as he's competent. There's no way a team like ours, with our tradition, talent, faculties, etc, could ever fall from the upper echelon of cfb, right? Well no, we were wrong. We made a bad hire, and it set us back at least 5 years

this post should be required reading for the anti-Miles crowd at LSU
