Ahead of Tennessee, let’s take a look at Derek Dooley’s Missouri tenure to date

Derek Dooley makes his return to Tennessee this Saturday, his first time coaching in Knoxville since Nov. 10, 2012.

You might remember that day. Dooley’s final home game as the Volunteers’ head coach came against Missouri. It ended in a 51-48 four-overtime loss to the Tigers, a game that included Tennessee blowing a two-touchdown third-quarter lead and eventually ended by 35-yard Andrew Baggett field goal in the fourth overtime.

Dooley would coach one more game for Tennessee — a road loss at Vanderbilt — and that was that.

Now, Dooley returns as Missouri’s offensive coordinator, six years and one week since the Tigers led his head coaching career at Neyland to the gallows.
