re: Hart will not give assistants multi-year deals

I think Hart is actually making the hard choices about what is best for UT long-term. And that means swallowing the bitter pill of another year of Dooley.

Then making his own hire. The next head coach at UT will probably be an up-and-coming assistant or a coach from a mid-major.

Sorry, but I believe in the Jeremy Foley school of thought in "what should be done eventually should be done immediately." If Hart doesn't believe Dooley is his man he should have fired him this year and hired "his guy." If he thinks Dooley COULD be his guy long term then you do EVERYTHING to help make next year successful. In today's college landscape that means giving your assistants multi year deals. By refusing to give that to them everyone knows you are saying you are pretty sure you will be firing them all next year. Saban, Miles, etc. will be drilling that into recruits heads over and over.
