Wilcox talk no worry

KNOXVILLE – Derek Dooley approached the typical hoard of reporters after the University of Tennessee football team’s Monday morning practice inside the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center.

“I know what you guys want to talk about,” Dooley said.

He was quite right.

Coordinator Justin Wilcox didn’t speak with reporters, but he coached the UT defense as usual Monday morning and prepared for the Dec. 30 Music City Bowl as rumors swirled about his potential move for the same position at Texas.

It hasn’t happened yet, and Dooley isn’t convinced it will happen.
