Coaching Notes

Head Coach Derek Dooley The Dooley Era Begins Derek Dooley may own a rival’s pedigree, but to Tennessee fans he felt just like one of their own when the Vols introduced him as the school’s 22nd head coach in January. Dooley, 42, came to UT after three seasons as head coach at Louisiana Tech, where he also served as athletics director since March 2008. He was the only athletics director serving as head football coach on the FBS level. Dooley is the youngest son of Georgia legend leg Vince Dooley, who coached the Bulldogs for 25 seasons and cla claimed six league crowns and the 1980 national title. Dooley never accepted the t predetermined path to success. He played his college fo football at Virginia, turning down scholarship offers elsewhere elsewhe to walk on and later earn his own scholarship from Cavaliers Cava head coach George Welsh. Then after a successf successful start to the legal profession, Dooley switched gears and a returned to his love of football. Four short years later, lat he latched onto the staff of Nick Saban at LSU and moved into the fast lane of the SEC. After five five succe successful seasons that included the 2003 national titl title, Dooley moved with Saban to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Dooley was named to his first head coaching position by Louisiana Lo Tech in December 2006, and immediately immedia began laying the foundation for future success. suc Included in his 17-20 overall record was aan 8-5 mark in 2008 highlighted by the school’s first postseason victory in 30 years at the Inde Independence Bowl. Tech finished second in the th WAC that season and played in a bowl game g for only the third time since joining the th major college ranks in 1989. The Lo Louisiana Sports Writers’ Association named h him 2008 Coach of the Year. Dooley is married to Dr. Allison Jeffers Dooley, y an OB OB/GYN and Fort Worth, Texas, native. They have two sons, John Taylor and Pey-

ton, and a daughter, Julianna. Allison is active in fundraising for the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research.

Head Coaching Debuts Derek Dooley is Tennessee’s 22nd head coach and on Sept. 4 became the 18th to win his first game as Vols skipper. Overall, Tennessee head coaches are 18-4 all-time in their first games. Gen. Robert R. Neyland coached the Vols during three separate tenures and thus had two additional “first” games. He won all three contests, improving the total number to 20-4.

Coaching Prowess Head coach Derek Dooley’s staff at Tennessee has a proven track record-eight of his assistants have coaching experience in one of the BCS conferences, five have coached in the NFL and three have experienced the formiddable SEC. Baggett, Chaney, Hiestand, Smith and Wylie spent a combined 24 years coaching in the NFL with eight different teams-- the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Houston Oilers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets and St. Louis Rams. UT’s assistant coaching staff has a combined 66 years of coaching experience in all six BCS automatic qualifying conferences. The Vols’ assistant coaches have coached in the bowl games that now comprise the BCS a total of 10 times and boast coaching experience in 59 total bowl games-- including the Super Bowl.

Noting the Staff Chaney, Thompson Return Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and linebackers coach Lance Thompson are in their second years in Knoxville. Both joined Tennessee’s staff in 2009 and were retained by first-year head coach Derek Dooley. Chaney, arrived on The Hill after three seasons in the NFL with the St. Louis Rams. He was most notably the mastermind of a stellar Purdue offense from 19972005, during which time the Boilermakers ranked inside the top 10 nationally in total offense six times. Super Bowl XLIV winning quarterback Drew Brees played for Chaney during his tenure in West Lafeyette, and the pair led Purdue to the Big Ten Championship and a Rose Bowl berth in 2000. Thompson came to Rocky Top via Tuscaloosa, where he served on Nick Saban’s staff from 200708. His coaching resume is overflowing--Thompson has been a member of two national championships staffs, has a pair of SEC titles, two ACC championships and a Conference USA divisonal winner.

Smith Comes Home Rounding out Derek Dooley’s staff was former Tennessee standout Chuck Smith. The Los Angeles native coaches the Vols’ defensive line. Best known for his work with some of the biggest names in pro football, Smith spent last season with the New York Jets No. 1 ranked pass defense. Over the past five seasons, Smith has coached and mentored nearly 60 NFL players, including Albert Haynesworth, Robert Ayers and Shaun Ellis-- all three former Vols. He also worked with Michael Johnson, Osi Umenyiora, Derek Morgan and Bart Scott.

During his career in the NFL, Smith recorded 58.5 sacks in nine seasons and served as a captain during the Atlanta Falcons’ lone Super Bowl appearance after the 1998 season. He was later selected the “Best Defensive Lineman in Team History,” by Falcons’ fans. On The Hill, Smith started at right end for two seasons. He helped the Big Orange to a win in the 1990 Sugar Bowl and earned All-SEC honors in 1991.

Wilcox on a Rising Star According to a recent Sports Illustrated article, Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox is one of college football’s best assistant coaches. The article, compiled by Andy Staples and Stewart Mandel, predicts Wilcox’s career is on the rise, citing the 49-4 record Boise State amassed during his four year tenure with the Broncos.

The General The Proverbial, Perpetual Yardstick One of the greatest coaches in the history of the game of football, Gen. Robert Reese Neyland is still, and will most likely always be, the yardstick by which all Tennessee football coaches are measured. For 21 years, he led the Big Orange to win after win and championship after championship. His 173 wins, seven conference titles and four national championships set the bar at one of the nation’s finest football institutions. According to UT legend Gus Manning, no one summed up Neyland and his coaching ability better than Wallace Wade: “He could take his and beat yours or take yours and beat his.” -- Wallace Wade, Alabama and Duke head coach and Neyland rival.

Gen. Neyland’s Maxims of Football 1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win. 2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way -- SCORE. 3. If at first the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up -- put on more steam. 4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game. 5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle -- for this is the WINNING EDGE. 6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made. 7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes. UTSports.com | 3

Offensive Notes  After standing at plus-4 in turnover margin after the first five games in 2010, the Vols have committed five turnovers against no takeaways during the last two games (-3 at Georgia, -2 vs. Alabama).  UT leads the SEC and ranks tied for seventh nationally in fewest penalty yards, with only 36.4 per game.  During both the fourth quarter at Georgia and on several plays at several times in the Alabama game, the majority of the Volunteer offensive unit consisted of true freshmen...Tennessee has played 11 freshman on offense in 2010, including nine true freshmen.  Freshman Playing on Vols’ Offense, 2010 (11) Redshirt (2): OT Daniel Hood, OT JerQuari Schofield. True (9): QB Tyler Bray, FB Channing Fugate, G Zach Fulton, WR Justin Hunter, OT Ja’Wuan James, WR Matt Milton, RB Rajion Neal, WR Da’Rick Rogers, G James Stone.  Tennessee’s third-down conversion rate for the season is up to 29 percent (29-for-101)...the Vols are 18-for-43 (41.9) over their last two games...UT was at 19 percent (11-of-58) through four games.  The Vols posted a season-high passing total of 260 yards at Georgia, just one week after throwing for a season-low 121 at LSU...the team’s best rushing total of 332 yards came in the season opener vs. UT Martin, while a season-low of 9 was gained at Georgia.  Through four games, the Vols already have 33 offensive plays of 20-plus yards, which is near the team’s pace of 61 last season and almost equal to the full-season total in 2008 (34).  UT has won the opening coin toss only once in 2010 (LSU), and also lost the flip to begin overtime against UAB.

Quarterbacks  Matt Simms (Jr., Franklin Lakes, N.J./El Camino [Calif.] CC) ranks ninth in the SEC in passing yards per game at 179.0...He threw a career-high three touchdowns against UAB, and his season high of 259 passing yards happened against Florida.  Simms was 12-for-22 for 117 yards and one interception vs. Alabama...he posted a streak earlier this season of 72 consecutive passes without an interception...

SEC Instant Replay 2010 The Coaches’ Challenge The head coach may challenge the ruling of any reviewable play. He retains a challenge if his initial challenge is successful and thus results in a reversal by the replay official. The head coach will then have a single challenge that he may use anytime during the game if his team has not used all its timeouts. Thus a team may have a total of two challenges in the game, but only if the first results in a reversal of the on-field ruling.

The Source All reviewable video comes direct from either the television network broadcasting the game or other TV production facilities that meet established conference standards. The SEC has used instant replay since 2005.

The Plays  Reviewable 1. Plays governed by Sideline, Goal Line, End Zone, and End Line: a. Scoring Plays, including the ball in possession of a runner breaking the plane of the goal line b. Runner/receiver in or out of bounds c. Recovery of loose ball in and out of bounds 2. Passing Plays: a. Pass ruled complete/ incomplete/ intercepted in the field of play and end zones b. Touching of a forward pass by a player or an official c. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off beyond the line of scrimmage d. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off after change of possession e. Forward or backward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage f. Quarterback (Passer) starts arm forward, ball comes loss and play is ruled incomplete (if ball is quickly recovered) g. Quarterback (Passer) throws incomplete swing pass that is close to being forward or backward, and pass is ruled forward (if ball is quickly recovered) 3. Miscellaneous: a. Runner ruled not down. b. Runner ruled down (when ball carrier is judged down by rule and the ball is fumbled, play may be reviewed if recovery of ball occurs in the immediate action following fumble and is prior to any official signaling ball is dead. Also reviewable when runner is ruled out of bounds near goal line.) c. Forward progress with respect to first down d. Touching of a kick e. Number of players on field f. Clock adjustments (in conjunction with reviewed plays) g. Fourth-down/try fumble plays h. Field Goal Attempts (only when ball is ruled below or above the crossbar, inside or outside the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights.)

i. The game clock expires at the end of a half. If at the end of the game, the time may be restored to the clock only if the score is tied or the team that would next snap the ball trails by eight points or fewer.  Not Reviewable 1. Fighting participants 2. Off-sides/Encroachment 3. Pass interference 4. Roughing passer/kicker 5. Illegal formations 6. Taunting/Other unsportsmanlike conduct 7. Face mask 8. Taunting 9. Illegal blocks 10. Holding 11. Personal fouls

The Process Each SEC football stadium has a secured replay booth equipped with the HD Instant Replay system provided by XOS Digital. Three individuals work in the booth for the duration of the game: 1. Replay Official, 2. Communicator, 3. Technician. The Replay Official and the Communicator are selected and assigned by the Conference. A live HD video feed is sent directly to the replay booth from the TV truck. The Technician watches the feed on an input monitor while recording it into the XOS Digital Replay System. The Technician also marks the beginning of each play while the Communicator marks all incoming replays. Each play and subsequent replay then appears on a touch screen in front of the Replay Technician. As the Technician and the Communicator mark the incoming video, each view will appear as a small picture on the computer touch screen. At any time, the Replay Technician can touch the thumbnail and immediately send that play or replay to the Replay Official. With the Communicator’s assistance, the Replay Official can quickly jump between replays while playing back the video. All replay video navigation is done via a jog shuttle remote controlled by the Replay Official. All video is viewed on an HD monitor that sits in front of the Replay Official. The touch screen is only used to select the replays and to log specific play data in the event a call is overturned. While all plays are reviewed between the whistle and the beginning of the next play, the Replay Official can stop play on the field by using a pager system. Five onfield officials wear pagers. If play is stopped the Referee announces on the stadium PA microphone that play has been stopped so the previous play can be reviewed. The Referee then proceeds to the sideline headset, which provides direct communication to the Replay Official in the booth. Once the play has been reviewed, the Replay Official notifies the Referee, who then announces the decision on the stadium PA system. UTSports.com | 10


Notes on Neyland Stadium

UT Wins at Neyland

The Best Just Got Better The Home of the Vols just got a makeover, transforming one of college football’s meccas into an aesthetic masterpiece. The concrete walls that used to hold up the west side of Neyland Stadium were replaced with brick. Below the press box, six new panels display some of the finest to ever don the Orange and White-- Al Wilson, Gen. Robert R. Neyland, Reggie White, Peyton Manning, Johnny Majors and Doug Atkins. Most noticeable from the outside are the approximately 700,000 bricks laid since December that totally transformed the look of the stadium’s north and west sides. Standing in the middle of that transformation is the majestic Gate 21 plaza area. “Gate 21 is the focal point of the stadium,” said David Elliott, assistant athletics director for event management. “It’s our marquee entrance. Gate 21 typically has brought in 30,000 to 35,000 people on a game-bygame basis. It is a stunning, stunning entrance.” Six lofty archways dominate the entrance, which doubles during the work week as a key campus transportation hub. No doubt the traffic on game days is just as hectic. Adjacent to the Gate 21 plaza is another change, the new amphitheater at the corner of Phillip Fulmer Way and Andy Holt Avenue. The Vol Network’s Kickoff Call-In Show takes place there, sporting spiffy new digs after spending years on a make-shift platform in front of a worn down hillside. Just inside Gate 21, the Tennessee Official Team Shop is open for business six days a week under management of the UT Bookstore. Four other souvenir locations are located throughout the stadium, including one in an exclusive new seating area.

Tennessee Terrace The Tennessee Terrace now occupies the west upper deck, with 1,800 individual chair-back seats and a climate-controlled concourse featuring new restroom and concession areas. All of the stadium’s high-end concessions are available to Tennessee Terrace patrons, and those individuals also have the added bonus of sitting on the home sideline after the Vols switched back to the west for the first time since 1992. Plans call for stadium renovations to take a break over the next two years and resume in December 2012. That should allow for a more normal maintenance schedule, including structural painting projects on the stadium’s exterior that are first in line for

Contractor for this portion of the project was Blaine Construction. “We’re very proud of all the construction we have had in the stadium,” Elliott said. “The design team, the contractor and everybody have been a pleasure to work with and they have done a fantastic job putting it together and on time, so we can be ready to play football this first weekend.

Unveiling of the Neyland Statue Perhaps the most anticipated improvement to the Home of the Vols will not be unveiled until the Nov. 13 homecoming date with Mississippi. As Vols young and old return to The Hill to see the Big Orange take on the Rebels, they will see a twice-life-size statue of the stadium’s namesake, Gen. Robert R. Neyland. The statue will meet its permanent resting place between gates 16 and 17.

“The big games I’ve played in Neyland Stadium are right up there with the Super Bowl. It is still one of the most electric atmospheres I have ever experienced, and the passion of the fans is what makes the difference.” -Peyton Manning

Sideline Change for 2010 Season When Tennessee kicked off the 2010 season on Sept. 4 against UT Martin, the Vols did so on a new sideline. The Vols called the west sideline home until 1994, when the SEC began prohibiting student seating directly behind a visiting team bench. In order to meet SEC guidelines, the athletics department approached the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs in December to discuss making modest adjustments to student seating assignments. UT Athletics in conjunction with Student Affairs and SGA chose to add additional lower level student seating in sections J and K to offset the seat adjustments needed in section D to give students a more cohesive student section.

When at Neyland Stadium... The Vols return home Oct. 23 to play current No. 1-ranked Alabama. Tennessee looks to even the alltime series record in Knoxville, which the Crimson Tide lead 21-20-1. UT has won five of the last seven games played at Neyland Stadium. UTSports.com | 11

It was Tennessee’s first shutout since a 48-0 win over Vanderbilt in 2003 and first time facing an FCS opponent since a win over The Citadel in 1983. Tauren Poole had been waiting all year to prove he’d been unfairly stuck behind Bryce Brown and David Oku on the Vols’ depth chart last season. He delivered, darting through holes, running around coverage and picking up 110 yards on 17 carries before sitting out the entire fourth quarter. Oku had his share of carries too and found some large holes for a 44-yard touchdown run with 5:00 left in the first quarter to give the Vols a 10-0 lead in the season opener for both teams. Denarius Moore ran 58 yards for a touchdown and caught a 42-yard scoring pass from Matt Simms. Moore finished with 66 yards on four catches, and Gerald Jones had 86 yards on six catches before injuring his left hand. Tennessee scored nearly every way it could. Austin Johnson tackled D.J. McNeil in the end zone for a safety. Prentiss Waggner intercepted Derek Carr and ran 54 yards for a touchdown. Daniel Lincoln kicked field goals of 21 and 35 yards.

LaMichael James ran for 134 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown, in his first game back after a one-game suspension and No. 7 Oregon scored 45 consecutive points to beat Tennessee 48-13 on Saturday night. James had only 27 yards at halftime after being targeted by the Volunteers’ defense for the entire first half. He started picking up momentum after the break, rushing for 25 yards on five carries in the Oregon’s first second-half drive. He broke several tackles on the 72-yard touchdown run on the first play of the subsequent drive for the Ducks (2-0). Tennessee (1-1) went up 13-3 in the first half after an hour-long delay for lightning but fell apart after James’ long run. A pass by Matt Simms intended for Zach Rogers was intercepted by Cliff Harris, who returned it 76-yards for another score to give Oregon a 27-13 lead with 6:27 left in the third quarter. The Vols got a 48-yard field goal from Daniel Lincoln on their first drive and immediately got the ball back when Barner fumbled the following kickoff after a 39-yard return. Da’Rick Rogers had a 21-yard run that set up a 35-yard field goal by Lincoln with 8:53 left in the first quarter.

Tennessee had its chances against a second-straight top-10 foe, down seven points midway through the fourth quarter. But Florida used a nine-play drive capped by a 2-yard touchdown run from Trey Burton to seal a 31-17 victory. Tennessee (1-2, 0-1) tied the game at 10 with a 49-yard touchdown pass from Matt Simms to Denarius Moore with 8:59 in the third quarter. Simms completed 19 of 31 passes on the afternoon for two touchdownss and a career-best 259 yards against a pair of interceptions. Florida appeared stopped on the next drive until Meyer called for a fake punt on fourth-and-6. Omarius Hines ran 36 yards to keep the drive alive, and John Brantley eventually connected with Frankie Hammond on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Early in the fourth quarter, Simms appeared to be sacked in the end zone for a safety, but an official review ruled him down on the 1. Tennessee punted but forced a turnover and scored on its next possession, a 35-yard touchdown pass from Simms to Justin Hunter on fourth-and-6 to cut Florida’s lead to 24-17 with a 11:24 left. After Burton’s touchdown put the Gators up 31-17, Tauren Poole took a reception 31 yards into UF territory before the ball was jarred loose, ending the Vols comeback bid. Tennessee scored first for the first time against Florida since 2001 when Daniel Lincoln kicked a late first-quarter, 49-yard field goal, tying his career high.

Matt Simms threw a 25-yard touchdown to Denarius Moore on Tennessee’s first play of double overtime as the Volunteers beat Alabama-Birmingham 32-29 on Saturday. The Volunteers (2-2) held a 23-7 lead at halftime, but the Blazers (1-3) outscored the Vols 16-0 in the second half. David Isabelle found Frantrell Forrest on a 27-yard touchdown strike and ran for 6 yards for another score. Bryan Ellis hit Jeffery Anderson on a pair of 2-point conversions, which evened the score at 23-23. Daniel Lincoln converted a 40-yard field goal and UAB’s Josh Zahn matched with a 35-yarder through the uprights to send the game to double overtime. Zahn connected on a 21-yard field goal to put UAB up 29-26 before the Vols’ final touchdown. Simms opened the scoring with a 13-yard pass to Moore at the 10:59 mark of the first quarter. UAB responded to tie the game at 7 with a 52-yard touchdown pass from Bryan Ellis to Mike Jones with 2:34 in the first quarter. Simms answered with a 72-yard touchdown to Zach Rogers on the next play. With 1:55 before halftime, Prentiss Wagner picked off Bryan Ellis on the next play and returned it 9 yards for a touchdown, tying the UT record with two INTs returned for touchdowns in the same season.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU scored on the game’s very first play and again on the very last play -- after Tennessee was penalized for too many men on the field. Those scores were enough to allow the Tigers to escape with a 16-14 decision that was heartbreaking to the UT faithful. The Tigers remained unbeaten after a Volunteers penalty for too many players on the field rescued LSU from what appeared to be a botched final play. LSU (5-0, 3-0 SEC) was confused on third-and-goal from the 1 and allowed the clock to run nearly to zero before a mishandled snap seemingly ended the game and sent Tennessee players streaming onto the field in jubilation. The celebration was cut short when officials ruled the Volunteers (2-3, 0-2) had 13 defensive players on the field when the ball was snapped. Stevan Ridley then bulled into the end zone from less than a yard out for the wild finish. Jordan Jefferson had an 83-yard TD run on LSU’s first offensive play, but UT’s defense limited the Tigers after that, forcing four turnovers including three interceptions. Tennessee was in the game the whole way despite playing in its first road game of the season. Tauren Poole’s 1-yard dive over the pile helped the Vols to a 7-7 tie at halftime. Matt Simms’ 3-yard touchdown run put the Vols in the lead with 11:34 left in the fourth quarter. The first interception of LaMarcus Thompson’s career in the Vols’ end zone put Tennessee in position to bury the Tigers in a hole with another score, but theTigers’defense got a critical stop on fourthand-1 at the LSU 31. Poole topped 100 yards for the third time in 2010 with a 109-yard performance. Gerald Jones returned from a three-game absence after nursing a hand injury to lead the Vols with five receptions for 46 yards while helping UT convert a season-high seven third downs.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Aaron Murray ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more as Georgia snapped a four-game losing streak and defeated Tennessee 41-14 at Sanford Stadium. A.J. Green caught his third touchdown pass in two weeks as the Bulldogs ended their longest losing streak since 1990. The Vols fell to 2-4 (0-3 in the SEC) and committed three turnovers, allowing the Bulldogs to take a 17-0 lead in the first quarter. Murray was 17 of 25 for 266 yards passing and ran seven times for 41 yards. Green had six catches for 96 yards, giving him 13 catches for 215 yards since his return. Freshman Justin Hunter was a bright spot for Tennessee, catching four passes for 110 yards and one touchdown. Hunter was on the receiving end of a 38-yard touchdown from Matt Simms in the second quarter, and his 100-yard receiving effort was the first for a Vols freshman since Robert Meacham did so in 2004. Matt Simms finished 9-of-13 for 179 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Tauren Poole accounted for the other Tennessee touchdown on a 2-yard run in the third quarter and finished with 51 yards on 15 carries. True freshman Rajion Neal caught three passes for 70 yards, while Tyler Bray played the fourth quarter at quarterback and went 8-for12 for 81 yards. During one drive in the fourth quarter, Bray was one of seven true freshmen on the field for the Vols.

Oct. 23 | Neyland Stadium | Knoxville | Attendance: 102,455 Trent Richardson’s 65-yard touchdown run and 5-yard touchdown reception were part of 28 unanswered second-half points as No. 7 Alabama beat Tennessee 41-10 on Saturday night. Alabama came out of halftime with only a 13-10 lead after a sluggish first half. The Tide wasted no time in the third quarter, getting three straight first downs on its opening drive before Mark Ingram pushed the ball 1 yard for the touchdown for a 20-10 lead. Richardson and Ingram had just 91 yards rushing at halftime, but added 96 yards on the ground in the third quarter, including Richardson’s touchdown and a pair of 1-yard scoring runs by Ingram. Richardson finished with 119 yards on 12 carries, and Ingram had 88 yards on 14 runs. For their part, the Volunteers had a few shots to keep the game competitive in the second half. Matt Simms led a long drive that eventually stalled at the Alabama 35 after three straight run plays, and Michael Palardy missed a 52-yard field goal attempt that could have cut the Crimson Tide’s lead to a touchdown. Tennessee got the first score for the first time since the Vols’ 17-13 win in 2004. Tauren Poole found a gaping hole in the line and ran 59 yards to the end zone with 8:44 left in the first quarter. Poole finished with 117 yards on the ground, becoming the first player to rush for more than 100 yards against Alabama since Mississippi’s BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 131 on Oct. 13, 2007.
