This will have zero effect on how effective he will be as a coach; however, I found this about his family and charitable involvement to be interesting. While being a good person won't win any games or score any TDs, it's still nice to see. From his Wiki.

Dooley's wife is Dr. Allison Jeffers Dooley, who is an OB/GYN, and they have three children named John Taylor, Peyton, and Julianna. Peyton was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in August 2014. Dooley currently serves on the board of the JDRF Dallas chapter. [14][2][15]

While at Tennessee, Dooley helped raise over $1 million for children and other causes in the local community. The Dooley’s hosted the Big Orange Experience, an annual fundraising event for Variety, an organization that provides financial support for numerous children’s charities. In 2012, some of the proceeds funded the Dooley-Witten Learning Center at the Halls/Powell Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley, a project on which Dooley teamed up with former Vol and Dallas Cowboys All-Pro Tight End Jason Witten.[3]

Dooley’s brother-in-law is former NFL wide receiver Patrick Jeffers.
