Missouri offensive coordinator Derek Dooley will return to Neyland Stadium on Saturday for the first time since being fired as Tennessee's coach with one game left in the 2012 season.
"Of course, we didn't get the results we wanted when I was there, but that experience there, 32 months, made me a better coach and made me a better man," Dooley told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in reference to his 15-21 record in three seasons at Tennessee. "In some ways, you're always grateful for every experience you get, and they gave me a great opportunity."
Dooley was the Dallas Cowboys' receivers coach the previous five seasons before returning to the college game at Missouri.
