There’s apparently been no love lost between former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers and former UT head football coach Derek Dooley.
Rogers played at Tennessee from 2010 to 2011 before getting dismissed from the team by Dooley ahead of the 2012 season.
The Atlanta native spent the 2012 season at Tennessee Tech before spending parts of three seasons in the NFL.
Dooley, who never had another head coaching job after getting fired by Tennessee in late 2012, is back in the news this week after announcing that he’s running for a US Senate seat in the state of Georgia.
And it doesn’t sound like Dooley will be getting Rogers’ vote.
Rogers replied to a tweet about Dooley on Thursday with a wild quote.
“No player has had more back door nonsense conversations with that man than me,” tweeted Rogers. “Still to this day, he needs his spoiled ass whooped.”

It sounds like Rogers has no shortage of wild Dooley stories in his back pocket.
And I don’t think I’m alone in suggesting that the world needs to hear a few all of those stories.
