The conversations I overheard were mostly about how glad people were to get rid of Kiffin. Some of that was certainly sour grapes but there was a genuine sense that Kiffin was a Hollywood pretty boy type that didn't really fit in Knoxville. He belongs in L.A.
It's not surprising that you were impressed by Dooley's class. He was raised by two very classy people, Barbara and Vince Dooley. He will be a credit to your program. You will need to get used to the under promise/over deliver style. The Georgia Tennessee game is going to be a lot of fun. It sure will be a change after the pretty boy.
