Majors On Vols' HC Dooley

There's not much better for an SEC football fan than talking the sport with Johnny Majors. Here are some of his thoughts from a recent conversation.
On Derek Dooley coaching at UT even though his father, Vince Dooley, coached at Georgia for 25 years:
"I'd say a lot of people probably wouldn't have thought about that happening. But stranger things have happened. I'd say it's going to be interesting."
On Derek Dooley's challenge to turn the Vols around after two losing seasons since 2005:
"I think they've got a challenge here for the next two or three years. To get it turned around is going to be challenging. But you never know, with the right type coaching. Coaching makes a difference."
On the impact a coach can have on a team:
"A coach can take a poor team and make them respectable by the way they line up, the way the come off the ball, they don't get stupid penalties, that they're disciplined, they're orderly and they give effort...and they know how to play the kicking game."
