I met with a client today, who's a former UT baseball letterman from the late 60's We talked business for ten minutes and UT for fifty. When we got to the subject of Dooley...he went off. Turns out he 's buddies with Jack Reynolds and a bunch of other football players from the same era (they all stayed in Gibbs hall back then) and he saw him regularly. He said that the former football guys detested Dooley and how he treated them. He said that at a practice the first year, Al Wilson was flat out turned away, and that the guy who did it didn't even know who Al Wilson was. He's very high on Jones....and says that his UT contacts are as well. (He was also a VERY big Pearl fan, as they were both from the Boston area and had met and talked Boston for quite a while).....He said that last year he flat out refused to go see a football game because of Dooley and how bad we looked. He also said the Reynolds told him that our D last year was the worst coached he's ever seen...at any level. Just in case you were interested...... |

Did your client play on a UT team with Larry Fielder (Dyersburg) or Sam Ewing (Nashville)? |

Ewing would have been there then. I played Connie Mack baseball against him. He played on Nashville Post 5 for Larry Smittou (sp). They had three pitchers on that team that made it to the majors, including one of the first big free agent guys, Wayne Garland. |

Yes, x1000000000. Sal Sunseri is the worst football coach, ever, at any level...in the entire history of football. Just a complete goddamned moron, who, to top it all off, was absolutely DESPISED by every single player he coached. How the hell he gets people to pay him so much damn money is just...bizarre. I swear I'm just convinced it was intentional, it had to be. There's just no way anyone can be THAT bad without trying. The only explanation to hurricane Sunseri is that some Alabama alum paid him to tank our team in retaliation for the whole Fulmer-Tennstud-Logan Young thing. Of course the silver lining to that is, had our defense just been bad (instead of the worst defense in SEC history)...we'd have probably gone to a bowl game, and Dipshit would still be our head coach. |
