Derek Dooley WR Coach?

[Tejano15]

@AdamSchefter: Dallas Cowboys are set to hire former Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley as their WR coach.

Didn't see that one coming, anyone know more about him?

 

[CoachHodnett]

Coached on Saban's Dolphins staff. There's the connection.

 

[cbow44]

Not a Gruden guy. How about that

 

[Tejano15]

Jason Garrett hire for sure, oh wait had to be Jones. :laugh2:

 

[Picksix]

Surprising, since I never read anything about Jerry even interviewing him.

 

[Risen Star]

Well that sucks. I hate losing Jimmy Robinson.

Dooley coached WRs in college at SMU. It's really a guess how he'll do in the NFL.

 

[JBS]

at least his mom will provide good soundbites

 

[Risen Star]

This will not be a popular hire with the fan base, I'm guessing.

I mean, half the fans will like anything, but the other half will probably not like it.

He was fired in 2012 from the Tennessee Volunteers. I hate TN but I like Dooley. He had two really good receivers last year.

99% of fans don't know and dont care who the WR coach is.

You must know different fans.

What some fans will hate, is that his is obviously a Garrett hire. Doesn't Jive with prevailing thinking.

So are you saying that makes us one-percenters?

 

[Zordon]

hopefully he does a better job handling dez than he did da'rick rogers.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Jimmy Robinson really had a connection with Dez and you could see that on the sidelines. I am a bit concerned with how that will effect Dez.

Im a UT vol fan and happy to have him. He isn't a good head coach but he is a good positional coach. He coached up Hunter and Patterson.

This is a Garrett hire all the way.

was Robinson forced out or is he retiring? Never heard for sure....I liked him very much but I thought he got hit on the sidelines during preseason and sustained a concussion....can anyone confirm? Anyway, I don't know too much about Dooley but what I've heard and read isn't too great.

he was the TE coach for the Dolphins under Saban and then became a head coach at La Tech and UT.

I heard he was retiring due to medical reasons and will still be with the team but not enough time to be a coach.

I was talking about any past experience he had coaching WRs.
