Way to go Coach! You have shown care and consideration for the players, the University, the team, and the fans. You have also kept expectations high for their behavior on and off the field. Well done. I continue to be impressed. It takes a long time to turn a big ship around. Keep at it.

Good luck to young Mr. Miles. I do hope he "gets it" and learns from this lesson. It's a setback, but he can use it to strengthen his character if he'll realize that he is the only one responsible for his actions.

There could have been 9 people take control of the situation a lot differently. Get hold of the one TN guy that was out of control and leave. Done deal. Instead, one good player is gone and more supsended over what??
Dooley will handle this the right way. He wants these guys to feel honored to be a part of the TN team.
