Dooley has been fired (unconfirmed)

As long as they bring along some real defensive minds I'm definitely open to suggestion at this point... I take it you (as well as me...) aren't buying the Gruden thing....


Gruden will not Coach College ball unless Kelly leaves Oregon or Meyer leaves Ohio State in 4 or 5 years.
 
I just talked to a friend of mine in Knoxville who is very close to the football program.

Derek Dooley was fired tonight and an official announcement will be held on Monday or Tuesday. Chaney will finsh out the season as interm.

Can anyone else confirm this?????

I would be surprised if it happens that way. Hart is a person who takes a day or two after events to let his emotions settle. I would not expect him to meet with Derek until tomorrow at earliest and Monday at latest

Just what I was told Larry. Have you heard anything?

As long as it happens. You think he finally puts the nail in the Dooley era coffin?

just that it is over for Derek but been that way since last week. Troy hurt worse than any loss until today

I need to explain. I do think it is over but I don't think Dave and Derek have met to finalize it. I understood we might get announcement Monday even with win today.

Do you not think his mind is/was already made up, and are you saying there is going to be a meeting?

Very true, but I think that Hart will have way too much pressure from boosters (and possibly the players, if things are true that occurred in the locker room after the game) to wait too long.
 
I just spoke to Mr. Hart and he said all the Volnation Dooley haters can kiss his butt cause Dooley will be back next year.

I was told the official announcement was to be either Sunday or Monday is this what you heard?
 
I heard there was going to be a 10:12CST meeting at the Bearden Biergarten where there would be a beer pong match to see who is fired first.

Or so my sources say. Can anyone confirm?

I heard Lou Holtz is signing a 2 game contract. We will change colors to gold and blue for the 2 games. very reliable source deep within AD who immediately leaks to VN bloggers......book it
 
Spill it please, what happened?

Just heard there was a lot of tension (on a whole different level) between DD and players...was mentioned in Gruden thread...poster said that apparently DD didn't "carry himself" well. No specifics.
