Another bad divorce

If Hart is waiting for him to quit, we should not have hired a lawyer.

I'm sure Dooley understands his contract.

Quoting him at around the 1:30 mark: "I'd have to be a real dumbass to do something like [resign]."

The example of his high school coach kind of makes his stance look cowardly.

But again, I'm sure his high school coach wasn't a lawyer either.

That is awesome. Looks to me like he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I know some of those people

I know some of those people who have been screaming at him, and who would have left him some nasty voice mails if they had the number. But I have to say that I like the guy and I think that consider what he had to deal with when he got here he's not done so bad. I say he deserves another chance.

He's likable

Submitted by Average Guy on Tue, 2012/11/13 - 9:32am.

But being likable doesn't make one a good coach. Bad calls, penalties due to lack of organization, players not being able to understand schemes and a declining record with better players proves he's not a good coach. At least at this level.

I too hope he gets another chance, just not here.
