I'll be crucified for this, but I actually feel sorry for him. I know he goes to the bank as he goes out the door. And, I know it's time for him to go. I just think he is a great person and I feel for him.
He did not have confidence in our team's ability to make the plays to put us in field goal range and wanted to avoid giving the ball back to UM with time on the clock. I guess other coaches were consulted as well and they probably agreed. They saw how the players looked. We were not executing well and UM had run over our defense for several big plays.

Poor execution is soup du jour.
Dooley had the audacity to say at the end of regulation he tried two plays to make the yards, "we" screwed it up and didn't execute, and he didn't want to give the ball back to Mizzou with a chance to win.
"It's hard, man."
Hart has to (metaphorically) put this dog down.
Put yourself in his situation. Imagine what he's feeling right now. You don't exactly think very clearly when your heart is being ripped out of your chest after a loss, especially one like that in a time like this. Now, if in his press conference on Monday he doesn't offer any better explanations, then you can say he doesn't know. Not that his bad decisions can be defended, but only a few minutes coming off a game like that is not a time to judge someone's ability to explain the game.
Exactly what I thought too. I hated seeing him do it as much as anyone but put myself in his shoes and thought the same thing. If something bad happens then everyone would complain about him not running the clock out.
