Prediction: Bray will opt to
Prediction: Bray will opt to go pro, get picked in the 4th or 5th round, and end up selling Cadillacs in Arizona or someplace like that.
I've always had a soft spot
I've always had a soft spot for Vandy. They graduate. As a slight bonus their coach looks like he could be a Democrat.
Probably said something about making Dooley $5 million quickly
I'd look for a wimpy little press release tomorrow a.m. stating that Dooley will be replaced for the 2013-2014 football season, resulting in a $5 million obligation from the University of Tennessee to Derrick Dooley.
On second thought, maybe Bray said something about Dooley being a better lawyer than a football coach.
2pm press conf. Dooley has
2pm press conf. Dooley has been fired.
I'm thinking Dooley is
I'm thinking Dooley is finding out the difference in SEC players, their prima donna attitude.
