I still think there is more to this than we know , but all of it could have been avoided if Dooley had not given him the option to return once he left before Spring. In other words , what you said about Saban.
That would have felt more principled than does this.
For us who don't know the whole story , I agree.
What we have is Dooley and Bryce talking about who knows what and Authur demanding that his son get's a release.
Evertime I think this is over something new comes out about it. I , just like many of you just wish this would end. However it turns out. Just something final would be nice to hear.
Kicking him off the team is releasing him.
True. Clowns like you believe in a system where million dollar employees can come and go as they please but college students are held hostage at the whim of the school. Brilliant logic. Then again, I would expect nothing less from you.
True, but 'those of us who don't know the whole story' form the court of public opinion. And, that is the court that's starting to matter most in this scenario.
While I commend your civility during this thread, Dooley himself said it didn't matter whether Brown asked for a release, he wasn't getting one.
Exactly. If Dooley's plan was to deny the release regardless of what Brown did, he shouldn't be blaming anyone in the Brown camp.
I gave you the link you requested. For completeness, here it is again.
Brown will not be released from scholarship GoVolsXtra
"As with the other players who have asked for a release, I went through the same process with the same criteria with Bryce," Dooley said. "These are the three key factors - what their personal investment into the program was, did they have their heart into it and did they give it a good, fair shot. No. 2, the harm that their departure creates for the organization. No. 3, how they handle it as a professional.
How exactly is this in the best interest of the team?Synopsis: Based upon Coach Dooleys criteria, the decision made was in the best interest of the team. If Bryce Brown lacks the intestinal fortitude to personally ask for a release, he does not deserve a release. It sounds to me like Daddy is pulling the strings on this deal. I believe if the decision were left to Bryce Brown, he would have been on the field during Spring practice.
Coach made the right call.
About $15,000 is what it matters.Just one question...why exactly does it matter if he gets the release or not? This question can be asked of both sides of the debate. He can still go wherever he wants to go. CDD doesn't have to release him and he can still go to KSU. This isn't the first time someone has been denied a release. If BB does in fact want to go to KSU(and it isn't just family pressure--i.e. his dad) then he can still go and not worry about what CDD does or doesn't do. At this point his silence speaks volumes on the matter IMO. It has all been his dad so I kind of get the feeling that the entire ordeal has been conjured up by his WAY TOO INVOLVED father. Bryce is a man now...cut the cord and let him live his own life.
I still don't see how it's in the best interest of the team. I think it'd be funny as hell if both of these guys show up for fall camp, become cancers in the locker room, tear the team apart and force coach britches to kick them off the team.Because he laid down his criteria for transfer and Bryce didn't meet it. Neither did laimason so his didn't get his approval

That's the part I'm not following. It seems like Dooley turned a win-win into a lose-lose scenario.
When it comes time to punt the ball, I hope he has the fortitude to do that.
