If I was in Dooley's position I certainly would appreciate your support..you make a strong case and I agree in part with what you say..but will attendance allow it..hard to say..now give me your take on Hart..as far as I can tell UT could justify firing him without a buyout ..for his handling of the merger which resulted in lawsuits that I believe UT will have to settle or lose..if he hired Sal and turned the defense over to him it would strengthen the case to keep Dooley..If I had a choice and had to keep one of them..I'd take Dooley..

I need to dig more and study more on the Hart situation. What I do know is that there is so much more than meets the eye in this situation. There has been a chess match from day 1. Hamilton knew he was in the tank when the Bruce Pearl situation went south. So you go from that AD to Hart. I would love to delve into Pat Summitt's mind and know her take on Hart. I wish there were more people on this board who would exercise their intelligence and realize things are much, much deeper than they seem here. Dooley has been the consummate professional through all of this. Has he made some ill advised game time mistakes with heat of the moment decisions? Yep. But he's proven over and over again what a genuine desire he has to make this program a winner...with decency. I've always thought of people in four general categories. People who do right things the right way. People who do right things the wrong way. People who do wrong things the right way (a thief can be a genius at his trade), and people who do wrong things the wrong way. Dooley falls into the first category...doing right things the right way for this program and this university. Is he intelligent? I have to believe yes...graduated law school from UGA isn't for some other knuckle head NCAA Division 1 coaches I can name. We need intelligent fans. Intelligent assistants, intelligent players, intelligent front office members, including an intelligent Athletic Director.
