    There was a thread on VN for about 10 minutes (before it got inexplicably deleted) that got me to thinking: who's the phoniest of the phony? I think I'll go with Bruce Pearl, Trooper Taylor and [ddiapos]. Anyone I'm forgetting?

    Gerald Jones might deserve mention

    I think Dooley has to take the title. At least the other two could do something positive for the program, however small a contribution

    I think Dooley was more of a phony than Pearl. At least Pearl found his way to an Elite Eight.

    But, each of the other two seem more simultaneously pious and immoral than Dooley does.

    If that is how they really are then it really makes them less phony. They are jackasses but jackasses who contribute.

    And after hearing the behind the scene stories of Dooley, I'd say that cements that opinion

    I'll go with Tiny Jones. Oooooops, I meant Tony Jones. Fuqtard Supreme, imo. KNS slurping his johnson only solidifies my nomination.

    As much as I want Fooley at the top of the list, I second Groves here. Raleigh was even worse than Fooley.

    All of our answers are post-internet. Coincidence? Are people getting phonier or do we just know more?

    Or did Hamilton just like hiring phonies? Kiffin, Dooley, Raleigh, Pearl.

    Growing up, my dad never told me stories about a bunch of phony coaches at Tennessee.

    A Smith makes a good point here I think.

    I'll cast my vote for all time phony Buzz Peterson though, and we can just end the thread.

    Dooley was quick to brag about character, then sign thieves and ignore drug-dealing. He also tried to skew public perception into him taking the high road with guys like Bryce Brown and Aaron Douglas.

    I gotta vote Dooley too.

    Well, I definitely agree with the first 3 and know that Pearl definitely had some skeletons. I just can't include anyone in the phony group that a-took us to the Elite 8, b-gave us our first ever win over #1 at home and c-gave us our first ever #1 ranking in men's hoops.

    On most Vol sites, I believe that would constitute an auto-ban.
