    Somehow, expecting us to do something other than raid the military academies for coordinators isn't exactly unreasonable expectations.

    You make some good points bill. I would argue that it is a different kind of control freak we have in Dooley. Most great coaches readily accept responsibility for shortcomings while Dooley does so begrudgingly at best. I know that they are rumors, but there has been significant smoke over the idea that Dooley is reluctant to bring on coaches that might outshine him. I'm probably wrong to put any faith in rumors like that, but when the program you love has had it's ass reamed repeatedly over the last few years, and all indicators (our best coaches leaving and no quality replacements in sight) point to more of the same, one can get a bit raw and testy. I freely admit I am there. I hope I am wrong more than I can express. We just have different views I guess. I have no problem with that. Hope you don't either.

    I can handle egotistical coaches/people that have a reason to be that way. It's the egomaniacs that have no basis in reality to be that way is what chaps my ass the most.

    so someone with 10 years of DC experience, who was a finalist for Asst Coach of the year twice in the past three years isn't going to do relevant things? Navy's defense is typically pretty good and he's doing that with smaller players. Imagine what he could do with SEC size players? Navy's D was down a little this year, but the team as a whole was down. His resume really is pretty good if you actually look at it.

    I would argue that he has 2 coaches right now that can outshine him and another that left this year. I don't buy into that theory. at all.

    yeah, I wasn't around for it, but I know we went and got a coach from West Point once and it failed miserably. Oh wait, no, I'm pretty sure it worked out marvelously.

    We just don't see eye to eye on this. No problem.

    I despise Dooley more than most here. I, and I most definitely could be wrong, believe the issue isn't that Dooley is afraid of hiring coaches who will "outshine" him, but rather it's the fact these coaches realize their about to board the Titanic's maiden voyage. Dooley may in fact have that as a motive, but the larger issue is that these guys know there's a good chance they're looking for another job this time next year.

    Tomorrow's presser has been moved.

    That means nowhere close to a DC.

    With all due respect there is a little bit of difference in the stature of Army's program in the 20s and Navy's in the 2000s.

    Joking about why Baylor's DC turned us down, had to stay in Texas for personal reasons.

    with all due respect, there is a little bit of difference in the team Tennessee is actually fielding and 98% of most fans perception.

    Is it 1925?

    it might not, but the fact that you are dismissing him just because he's from the Naval academy is ridiculous. Go get us some more threads from VQ.

    I shit outside today. So to answer your question, it's possible.
     
  20. I would much rather have buddy green than sal sunseri. That's not saying much though.
