Announced on ESPN, Dooley to Vols, Well he is one
of Saban's boys, Saban taught him a lot also his
Dad Vince Dooley was a good coach. I'd think Crowton would be nutts to go to tech for what they pay.

All I can say is that Dooley outcoached Miles with far inferior players.

Look at his record. He would not last 5 years at any school these days. Maybe 3 at LSU.

He rode Herschel Walker all the way to his only real success, and underachieved while Herschel was there.

I have a feeling that Dooley might surprise some folks if he's got more talent that he had at Tech.

"... and underachieved while Herschel was there."

To be kind, that simply is not true. In fact, it is silly. Ga. lost 3 games TOTAL while Herschel was there and won a NC.

(doing this off memory but almost certain I am correct).

When has Miles been 3 games under .500 as a coach?


Totally irrelevant. Two different schools, two different situations. Are you really this dumb, or are you just trying to be provocative?

Crowton to LA Tech would be great for me as an LSU fan, but as a LA Tech fan I'd also like to see Orgeron to LA Tech.

You are correct. I should have softened it a bit. I think many perceive that the only reason UGA won that championship was because of Herschel, and the fact that they didn't win another was because of Dooley.

Like most teams they needed a miracle to win the NC.

Well, Tenn will certainly have connections with the LA high schools now.

What can you tell me about this guy other than he's Vince's kid. We really got blindsided by Kiffin. Bad timming among many other things wrong at UT now.

I think as time passes you will come to realize that these crazy events happening right now were the best thing to happen to UT.
