It's about the money. Dooley's not going anywhere, and I'll tell you why. when Kiffin took off, he only had to pay $800,000, which made his departure that much easier. Well, TN decided they'd do something about that with the next coach, and they did. If Dooley leaves after this season, he owes TN $3 million, which ain't gonna happen.
For the last 3 years of Dooley's contract (20132015), he'd only have to pay $1 million if he resigned. Dooley's not resigning.
So, let's say Dooley gets fired after this season. Well then TN would owe him $4 million. Even if Dooley got fired after his 4th or 5th season, TN would still owe him $4 million. If he got fired in the last year of his contract (2015), TN would owe him $2.5 million. And, oh yeah, TN bought his $500,000 buyout to get him out of La Tech in the first place.
The guy's not hurting for cash. He makes $1.8 million a year. But with numbers like these, he's not going anywhere anytime soon, especially since TN ended up in the red after last year. So, beyond all doubt, it doesn't matter what he does this year, he'll still be around next year. Dooley may go 67, but he'll still be around next year.
