The SEC media event is this week. There will be hundreds of news folks making a mad dash to to the greater-Birmingham area from all over the country to ask the football coaches and stars of college football’s best league questions about just about everything.
As our UT ace Patrick Brown wrote last weekend https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2012/jul/15/big-orange-debate-can-dooley-win/, University of Tennessee coach Derek Dooley’s “hot seat” could be a major point of discussion this week. Dooley is 11-14 in two seasons in Knoxville and returns a slew of starters and the quarterback/receiver pieces to have one of the nation’s best passing attacks.
Expectations are high. So is the energy, and the anxiety.
