The important thing is that all true Tech Grads KNOW the correct spelling and grammar, whether we use it or not.:icon_wink:

Holy Moly, go somewhere else to slit your wrists!
At BEST, we were going to have Dooley one more year. Even with a new coach we look strong for next season. Possibly, we don't even break stride. We're a much better program for Dooley being here than we were and that's the bottom line.
As far as the deal with losing Dooley, it was a highly unusual and flukey situation! When they canned the coach in Seattle, did anyone expect it would roll down hill all the way to Louisiana Tech. If you did, you need to set up shop as a paid prognosticator. Lightning doesn't strike often, but it happens and we just took a shot. Dooley didn't lie, its just business, its just life. Get over it.
The rest of your post is simply hogwash (apologies to HogDawg)!
To me, the coaching search is going as well as it can. I have never seen things in Ruston kept under wraps as well as this search has been. Secrecy gives you manuvering room. Folks who are closer to the candle have given some indications that seem pretty positive, but even they admit they don't know details. I believe it will be over soon and we can move on. DR has learned his legacy is undeniably tied to the strength of our athletics program, principally football, and he is taking care of business this time. I expect the end result will be a good one.
This is an unfortunate part of the process of moving forward. But even for this significant bump in the road, the process is continuing. We'll get there! We're getting there!
After one of his 8 losses he said he hoped to stay at Tech as long as we would have him. His leaving could actually be a blessing. If he goes 4-8 again in 2010, we are looking at another year before we can let him go. With all the talent he had this past year he should have won at least 9 games. I'm not really that disappointed to see him leave. We will find a better coach.
Some are calling him double d.
What?!! We didn't even have a QB. Shoulda won 9 games my ass. This is so funny to sit back and read. A week ago 90% of the people on this board thought Derek Dooley was the best thing since sliced bread. Now, most of those same people are talking about how bad of a coach he is, how he lied to us, how he cheated on us, how they wish he falls on his face at TN, blah, blah, blah. Some of you guys can't be serious. You offer me a job making 5 times what I'm making now, I'm gone.
