Rock M article on Dooley - mattieo86 MU - 7/5 16:25:19

Most important question: will he use a fullback? - jake_mu MU - 7/7 09:10:35

It will be interesting to see how he does. While I'd love - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 7/5 16:52:14

RE: It will be interesting to see how he does. While I'd love - Ragarm MU - 7/6 06:38:26

Heupel and Ellarbee will be missed. Both were outstanding - Fourth and Long MU - 7/5 22:16:38

Heupel was worthless unless you were a D2 school. - jake_mu MU - 7/7 09:09:28

Heupel was a goof ball who ran a dumb offense. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/6 10:05:29

Heupel was the best OC we've had in decades. - alwaysright MU - 7/6 13:23:28

DADGUM RIGHT!!1 STINKEL'S OFFENSES WERE AWFUL!!!!1 - Mothball MU - 7/6 14:59:10

How are Dooley and Davis misfits?(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

It also includes hit like - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/5 22:28:39

True, It's been a mixed-bag (nm) - Fourth and Long MU - 7/5 22:33:32

Dooley is more of an offensive Head Coach - BOILERTIGER MU

- 7/5 18:00:16

DD has been involved in a lot of good offenses. - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/5 17:15:53

I generally consider DD to be good talent. - alwaysright MU - 7/5 17:18:51

As an example to what I said below... - alwaysright MU - 7/5 17:10:59

I could care less about YPG - nitwittc3 MU - 7/5 16:44:53

Depends how you get those yards - SuperTone MU

- 7/6 06:57:45

Agreed, yards per play is more important. better on - alwaysright MU - 7/5 17:06:09

We were ranked the 3rd worst in TOP - nitwittc3 MU - 7/6 10:17:55

That's a key factor in a lot of these folks saying - alwaysright MU - 7/8 18:37:59

I'm one who believes time of possession is irrelevant. - zodiac6 JC - 7/5 17:35:51

Low time of possession makes your defense worse, no - alwaysright MU - 7/6 07:40:59

I think it is relevant to your D especially - MoGold MU - 7/5 18:01:56

Time of possession measures the game clock. - zodiac6 JC - 7/5 18:39:25

Only if your goal is the same. I believe that if you have a - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 7/6 07:45:39

Because it matters more than most want to admit. The - alwaysright MU - 7/8 19:00:25

ToP is an overrated stat - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/5 17:20:02

I didn't say ToP was the cause, it is the result. But it - alwaysright MU - 7/6 07:42:52

A lot of the ToP issues the last couple of seasons are - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/6 08:25:40

if you looked at number of possessions, I bet it is even - Gamagrass MU - 7/6 12:38:16

Right. ToP is an indicator. It's not a cause and it's not - alwaysright MU - 7/6 13:21:05
