Jump to 15:00 for Dooley talk.
Summarized.
Its a good hire. DD is a good offensive coach. Great xos coach. Dooley coached pro style at UT and avg 38 pts a game. Pro style doesnt mean conservative. It was Dooleys offense at UT, even though he was head coach.
Pro style offense will help the MIZZOU defense. Good hire. Some uncertainty.
On the hate for Dooley and this hire: Dooley did as good as anyone could at UT. Took a roster with 4 NFL players, decimated by Fulmer and Kiffin. Left the roster with 14 NFL players. Dooley took over total mess.
Dooleys downfall was he made a terrible DC hire in year 3. Maybe the worst UT cordinator in history. UT should have won 9 games in year 3 and Dooley would have been extended. But the defense was horrible. Had 2 top 15 classes and a top 20. Good recruiter. Left Butch a talented roster. One blemish was none of his OL recruits became good players.
This hire is like Kiffin to Bama. Failed HCs that really know offense. Dooley knows xos. knows SEC. Knows NFL. Coached with Sabin.
