There were two loud sounds coming out of Rocky Top this week. The first is when the collective jaws of Knoxville hit the floor when Vols coach Lane Kiffin flipped us all the bird and headed out of town faster than anyone we’ve ever seen.
Seriously. That dude gave a 1 minute press conference with one foot in the plane.
The second sound was a gasp that came out of Rocky Top when UT hired a relative unknown coach by the name of Derek Dooley to replace Kiffin. People around here do not really know Dooley so naturally we are skeptical.
But after the Kiffin fiasco we are all just looking to move on at this point.
The more we look into the life of Derek Dooley the more relaxed we become. This week has been hectic as Lane Kiffin’s Beverly Hillbillies routine left us going “WTF!”
But now the Vols have an identity in the form of Derek Dooley. And yes, he spells his first name just like the fashion model so that’s a plus. We hope that Dooley works out and here are five reasons we believe he will:
5) He is the son of Vince Dooley, legendary coach at Georgia. That s%*t looks good on a resume.
4) His mentor is Nick Saban, owner of one of the finest heads of hair in the SEC. Even ‘Bama fans like Dooley
3) He is the Anti-Kiffin. He has class. He showed more class in 15 minutes as UT’s coach today then Kiffin did over 14 months.
2) His son is named Peyton!
1)The Hair! Look at that hair. Folks, we have a winner!
