Dooley's buyout is a non-factor. Because if it were a factor, Tennessee would be committed to keeping him not one, but TWO more seasons. That isn't happening.
I'm one of those who has speculated that Dooley will be fired this week. Right or wrong, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. If we don't have an announcement by Tuesday, it isn't happening this week. I've never been one of those people who claim to have sources or an inside scoop, but to say those who do are lying because they aren't naming their sources is silly. Some of these people citing sources can't be trusted; some can. Rarely are any of them right all the time. You learn who to trust by their track record, but none of them are going to name their sources . . . because obviously if they did then those sources wouldn't be sources anymore.
What I can say with absolute certainty is that at least some of the players believe that there will be an announcement this week. They may be totally wrong, but what does it say that they haven't received assurance from their coaches that this thing is going to end favorably for the coaches? Maybe nothing; maybe a lot.

It was all well worth it. New chapter new beginnings.
