Staff Possibilities | Offensive Coordinator

Relationship: Dooley was the offensive coordinator when Walters was the defensive coordinator for the Missouri Tigers in 2018 and 2019.

Overview: Derek Dooley is a very well respected offensive mind who has coached at the highest levels of college football as a head coach for Tennessee while also being a position coach in the NFL with the Cowboys, Giants, and Titans. Dooley’s time in Tennessee did not go well as the Vols were just 15-21 in his 3 seasons in Knoxville, TN. This past season, Dooley has been an analyst for Nick Saban at Alabama in a roll similar to Steve Sarkisian and other former head coaches who have looked to see the success Alabama is able to maintain.
