Derek Dooley to Vols?

Watched the news conference introducing Derek to the press. He was very impressive and said all the right things. Makes me sad to see a Dooley at TN. Just by association with them TN has gotten an upgrade in class.

Read an article in the AJC that Vince and wife will be pulling for TN and can't say I blame them. Vince says it's a good thing they have and enclosed box at Sanford stadium so that people won't hear them cheering for Derek and the Vols.

Here's the article:

Hey, that's a good comparison, but the perspective is this: it's better to have CMR than a CVD clone. You can talk about the national championship, but CVD had 16 years to get us there. Also, CVD was 66-28-4 (.666) in his first 9 years. I say that even if he is a Chip off the ol' block, we've got our next legend right here, right now and we're the better team for it.

Hey, it's his kid. It doesn't detract from what Vince did for UGA, and continues to do. I'll cut him some slack on this. Besides, it's a win-win now for the Dooleys. Dawgs win (and we will), all is good. The boy wins every now and then and he gets to visit the folks and not hear \"in your FACE\" from Vince. Man, that would get annoying after awhile.

I completely understand pulling for your kid.
BUT, not at the University of Georgia's expense.
To the Dooleys, give up your suite and go sit with the other Tennessee fans.
After much reflection, Russell contributed more to our NC than Dooley ever did.
GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen averagedawg.

As for the \"ERK\" reflection, you are so right.

averagedawg, I totally agree with you. When I read that, it certainly didn't sit well with me either.........Vince........WHAT did you just say??????!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me??

My Mother could be the coach for another rival and I still would want the Dawgs to beat the crap out of them.
