Everyone was wrong last time. Looks like we were at the precipice of a Shannon deal before it all fell apart. Too much smoke. I also wouldn't put it past hart to disseminate misinformation, see where it leaked from, and purge the moles. Witness the multiple turnover in the ad. Misinformation will prob be leaked again this time, but not about Dools being let go, just who his replacement will be.
The DC prediction thread

Should probably add the caveat that no decision has been made because it is still possible to run the table and a bowl game and finish 9-4.
I'm not endorsing that as a prediction, I'm stating that no decision will be made until much later in the season than this.

So a man that knows his job is lost and the game "doesn't matter" begs his dr to allow him to be on the sidelines putting his health at risk?
Merely my opinion, but from Zas, if he is being public with the info, I would venture to say that others in the AD are talking about it too. It will get picked up by the media and Dooley will be let go during the season--not after.
No way he makes it through the season. No way this is addressed after every upcoming loss. And no chance that they announce Dooley won't return next season but still is retained to finish up the season.
I look for it to happen after the SC game. The remaining schedule should be manageable for an interim. But I would say that Hart does not want to find himself scraping the bottom of the coaching barrel during a late search, competing with Arky, Auburn, Kentucky and others that will be looking for a new coach after the season.
Also, Dooley will not be officially fired. He will "resign," after negotiating an agreed upon amount that allows him to save face and allows the University to save some money.
