Title: So Dooley played HS Football with Chuck Smith Post by: BanditVol on December 04, 2012, 04:30:02 EST Dooley played high school football at Clarke Central High School in Athens under legendary coach Billy Henderson. He was a star tight end on the school's 1985 AAAA State Championship team. Dooley played alongside other notable Clarke Central (and later NFL) players, including kicker John Kasay (Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints), defensive end and former U.T. defensive line coach Chuck Smith (Atlanta Falcons, Carolina) and wide receiver Willie Green (four teams)
I noticed this earlier when I looked up his record at La Tech below. This may have been widely known already, but if so I forgot about it. Pretty strange considering how Smith left Tennessee. No matter what was going on with him, I thought the DL played well while he was coaching it.

Yes, they are friends

Although I was 8 years behind Dooley and did not know him personally, I asked an older brother of a classmate about him when Dooley was named the head coach 3 years ago. This guy was a starter on the same football team with Dooley and Chuck Smith and, according to him, "Dooley was a whiner". Take it for what it's worth.
