Dooley on the offense

You talk as if he's got a decent roster that he's just wasting. Reality is he inherited a train wreck and is trying to fix it. Given the youth on the roster and the injuries it's amazing that we're in these games at all and are griping about a loss. The reality is we have no reason to expect a win this year, none, zero.

 

It sucks that we're just not as good as USCe and Georgia this year but those seeds were sown in the failures of the 2007, 2008 and 2009 recruiting failures. No quick fixes here folks.

 

With Bray and Hunter?

 

This team, with Lattimore, was losing 17-0 to East Carolina while Shaw was QB. They barely beat Mississippi State despite having Lattimore for almost the entire game. At full strength, they beat 2-6 Navy by a field goal. It isn't a miracle we hung with them. They aren't any good.

 

Why not use Devrin Young more on offense? Although he hasn't had the big play yet, he's showed more dynamic potential than the rest of the roster.

 

I'm talking about the defense overall.

 

USCe is a mediocre football team that has lost its starting QB and best offensive weapon. Tennessee has lost its QB and its best offensive weapon.

The cocks didn't outtalent Tennessee Saturday night.

 

Didnt' pay enough attention to realize you were talking about the D, thought you meant the team as a whole.

 

I think they are scared to use him more because of his size and ball security issues. You're right though, he's showed some dynamic potential.

 

Those comments reek of "It's not my fault. The kids suck."

 

I am pretty sure there is a consensus on the 8th that at the end of the day, none of this shit matters. He is payed to win. All factors leading to that are his to figure out how to manipulate to his favor. Those factors not lining up is just as much an indictment of him as the losses themselves.

That being said, I don't think calling for year 2 championships was reasonable with this group. But I do expect a bowl game.

 

They do and while it probably is true, your job is to make chicken salad out of chickenshit right now.

 

Thats a good way to put it and sums up the opinion of some on here. If that's the case, i hope you guys like the taste because it's not gonna change until the next delivery trucks get to Knoxville with more ingredients.

 

I know. This incoming class means a lot to Dooley's future. I haven't given up on him yet, but there issues that aren't all talent related

 

I'll settle for some nuggets at this point.
