Bragg Bragg's allies

[MikeyB]

Reading about the toxic command structure and relationships in the AoT during the Tullahoma-Chattanooga campaign, made me ask, which generals were actually on Bragg's side? Davis came to visit personally w/ the army and interviewed the command staff. I think its clear who was speaking against him, but not clear to me which commanders were actually speaking for him. Who of significance was a Bragg guy?

Found this piece on Wikipedia. Although perhaps not a clear supporter- sounds like Johnston was not an opportunist enemy.
Maybe someone else can clarify?

Davis responded to the complaints by dispatching Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to investigate the condition of the army. Davis assumed that Johnston, Bragg's superior, would find the situation wanting and take command of the army in the field, easing Bragg aside. However, Johnston arrived on the scene and found the men of the Army of Tennessee in relatively good condition. He told Bragg that he had "the best organized, armed, equipped, and disciplined army in the Confederacy." Johnston explicitly refused any suggestion that he take command, concerned that people would think he had taken advantage of the situation for his own personal gain.​
