President? I heard everything he asked for was shot down. I'll look for the thread.
Chancellor Cheek wouldn't let him have Loften, if that's what you're referring to.
I'd be very surprised if Dooley left over something like that.

Sports talk radio in Knoxville:
If what I’m hearing is accurate, and I’m believing that it is, then Jimmy Cheek is in the process of remaking UT’s athletic department to fit a vision of a university that will be more athletics with a heavy emphasis on academics. And more than one source over the weekend told me that people on campus within the athletic department are concerned about where things are heading. To give you an example, sources tell me Derek Dooley is extremely concerned with this turn of events with Cheek. I was told he recently had a meeting with Cheek where he voiced his concern over a laundry list of requests including asking the university to play ball with him on letting a player into school. And I was told that Dooley was rejected on ALL of his requests. According to multiple sources, Dooley has even appealed to big money boosters over this but has been told that Cheek is in charge and they won’t intervene.

Chancellor Cheek wouldn't let him have Loften, if that's what you're referring to.
