Lament o’ church going citizenry of Ruston, for it looks like your head football coach is bound for orange and white checkered pastures. Derek Dooley, Louisiana Tech Head Coach and AD is reportedly on his way to Knoxville to take the job as Tennessee’s head football coach (which begs the question, since Derek Dooley is also AD at Tech, did UT have to ask him for permission to speak with him first?) Dooley has had moderate success at Tech on the field, but it should be noted the herculean job he has done to improve facilities and the level of coaching in all sports while he was at Louisiana Tech. Like Kiffin before him, his reputation is largely enhanced by who his father is, in this case, legendary Georgia coach and AD Vince Dooley…but unlike Kiffin, Dooley, who is also a licensed attorney, may in fact actually have organizational, people, and public speaking skills, and a conscience…which would be a nice change for the Vols.
