The one-time Volunteers running back was scheduled to have a meeting Tuesday with head coach Derek Dooley about possibly returning to the football program, a program he abruptly left earlier this offseason.
Brown not only blew off the meeting, but the sophomore informed Dooley that he no longer had a desire to return to UT. He did this via a text message.
That's a class act alright, Bryce, bad move, Hey, someone said Kiffin, We must have been hearing things.
According to a tweet from Josh Ward of the Knoxville News Sentinel, the fashion in which Brown decided to leave Knoxville did not sit well with a prominent member of his family.
"Brown's father was 'ballistic that Bryce wasn't man enough to tell Dooley to his face that he's leaving."
The news that Brown was leaving would not have come as a surprise to Dooley, who said last week that "at some point he's going to have to ask for a release, which I expect to be soon." However, the manner in which Brown left, after Dooley left the door open for a return far longer than most coaches would've, will certain leave a bad taste in the coach's mouth.
