Does this make you feel better? Most everybody is probably in agreement now that he needs to go, so why are you so obsessed with arguing with our own fan base?

Once again, no I don't feel better at all. I've been slammed continually by people who say Dooley deserves another year. Simply asking if they've changed their minds.

When the team plays good and hangs with top ten teams, but lose people say it doesn't matter, he lost. He's still a loser. No moral victories. So Dooley won. It was ugly and we probably should've lost or whatever, but he won. So he's a winner. There's no demoralizing victories. A win is a win. So I still feel the same about Dooley. When he loses to a team he should beat, any of these final games, I'm sure a kit of people will change their mind.

Blindly supporting him isn't good either. I support him, as does most people on here, with facts. Nobody here just says "well I'm sure they know what's best." A lot of things are considered when Dooley is defended.

No, after taking a deep breath, nothing has really changed. The offense is really good, the defense is really bad, I want to see how he handles the Sal situation and what happens next week.

The difference for me is I see no rush in making the decision now. You fire him monday, what do you get?

Hopefully Gruden.

You get slammed in the national media if you fire a coach after a win, even a truly ugly win.

Nothing has changed. The AD makes a decision at year's end. If Dooley survives, he fires Sal and hires somebody who can coach defense.

I actually agree with you. I don't think you gain anything by firing a coach in season.

I agree also, nothing to gain in firing him now, we aren't losing recruits, very few committing at this time and if Hart feels he is going to fire him he can be working on the QT on a replacement. It is not like, aside from someone currently not coaching, an announcement would be made as to who the replacement would be.

A loss is a loss just as a win is a win. Neither is true. When determining how a coach is doing you do actually have to look at more detail in the games. That post earlier was pointing out peoples' bias with that logic. If they say a loss is a loss then they should stick with their logic and say a win is a win. I personally don't believe that when it comes to determining the progress of a program.

I still support Dooley, and will remain a Dooley supporter UNTIL he loses another game this year. If he loses I think he is gone and probably should be if he wins out he stays and should. I think something has to be done with the defense whatever it is just do something.

It a tough call, Fulmer didn't can Clawson and it cost him his job. If Dooley actually thinks this defense is going to improve he's lost his mind.
