Every time I start to feel secure about Odom, either he or the team exhibit some bizarre or boneheaded behavior.
Dooley did a poor job recruiting for Tennessee, and didn't do a very good job of coaching up the players he had, either. He was below .500 at Louisiana Tech as well, and while the team perked up in year two (when the previous guys' players were upperclassmen), they immediately nosedived to 4-8 in year three.
He was, however, an excellent WR coach, which is great when you're looking for a WR coach. But there is no evidence to suggest that he's a very good OC, and he has never coached QBs before, but now he's the QB coach at 50 years old.
Maybe Odom pulled one out of his ass, but this is a Tyson Jackson kind of hire--the type performed by a guy who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room that goes against all available evidence. Those can work...almost never.
