I watched in horror as Tennessee sophomore back up QB Justin Worley entered the game in the second quarter of the Volunteer - Vanderbilt game last night. Was Tyler Bray hurt? The TV announcers were as perplexed as I was as I watched Bray standing on the sidelines.
Bray was not sick or hurt, he was being punished, for having one of the worst 20 minutes a quarterback can have. Bray was struggling, but the Vols were still winning 7-6 with 6:56 remaining in the 2nd quarter and Dooley pulls him. Worley immediately threw an interception which let to a Commodore touchdown and a 13-7 lead. The Vols would score a field goal to cut the half time lead to 13-10.
The Vols were overwhelmed in the third quarter as Vandy scored the next 21 points for a 34-10 lead going into the final chapter of the game. Volunteer fans are hoping this game will be the final chapter of the Derek Dooley era at the University of Tennessee. It is clearly evident, he does not have the football intellectual or emotional capacity, to be the head coach of the Volunteers.
I hope who ever the Volunteers hire, it is someone with a smooth talking tongue, because who ever it is will have to talk himself dry to try and convince Bray, Hunter, and Patterson to stay for their senior year. The way Bray was treated last night, I would not be surprised if every junior who may have a shot of playing on Sunday, will say adios to the Volunteers if they do not hire a home rum hitter and proven winner.
The Vols need a Gruden to be head coach, they do not need a "promising" up and coming coach, they need a rock star head coach someone who can quickly turn the program around and keep the players, recruits and fanbase motivated to come to Knoxville and be apart of a winning Big Orange tradition of excellence.
Lets Go Vols
