The majority of Knox Sports Media have reported that. Not that they are credible.
I never said or intimated that I believed that Dooley was fired after miss state loss - however I think he should have been. Heck I think he should have been given the boot after the UK loss last year. And my uninformed thoughts about Dooley's coaching abilities as a whole were confirmed 100% this year!
The closest report to what you say I remember hearing was that hart was going to wait until the end of the year to evaluate DD. he was never quoted as saying 7 wins was enough.
