I love the class that these two individuals showed in their interview. That is what it's all about the tradition, integrity, and all of orange nation! Dooley looks like he has class and we shall see if he can put us back within the top 5 programs in the country.

Tradition is more important than the knob gobbler before could ever hope to understand. That's why you come to Tennessee!

Hoping Chris Walker sticks around for his senior year. He's the type of guy that makes me proud of our players...Nick too.

Chris Walker might be the most well spoken college football player I have ever heard!

You can tell that the players did not trust their coach during the year, and when he bolted like he did, showed the players that tradition, being honest, and having integrity is more important than winning at all costs.
You will see these young men rally around the new coach, and Kiffin will go down in history as one of the most evil speaking coaches in America, and the Football team for the VOLS will be in the same class as Pat and Bruce's basketball team, and the rest of the sports programs at Tennessee.
Welcome to Coach Dooley and his family. Give him a couple years, and lets move to have all the Kiffin stuff off this board. Pictures should not be on this board of this evil Coach.

Wow! I can only hope that recruits see this video but, very impressive. What's not to like about coach Dooley? Southern, country and excellent football pedigree.
GO VOLS!

Both players in this video show why we root for the VOLS! Class act, guys, keep it up, and play hard in 2010!

shame the last coach didn't have anything close to the intelligence and class some of his players have.

Hope some of the recruits saw this interview. Coach Dooley is a class act-honest, has integrity, really care about his players and has feelings for them. Told his former players himself, just didn't slink out of town without telling the team.

He IS staying, right? Didn't he say that he wasn't going to the draft? IDK for sure, but I think so...

Looks like we have found our team leaders for next year too! Both are a credit to Tennessee.

Two well spoken young men.

I must say that I feel great about this hire. Having a coach that stands up and says, "sir" and "maam" is a breath of fresh air. He has southern roots, and will bring a respect factor that will be seen in our players. We have the pride of the southland and a coach that has morals and lingo from the southland. Mark my word, this man will rake it in on recruiting the next two weeks. Thank the lord for sending us a southern gentleman. Some things are meant to be. Just proves that the lord loves the big orange. California can have Kiffin and his gang. After all, California is the land of fruits, nuts, and berries. The lord always has a better plan. GO BIG ORANGE!
