Unfortunately, we should have none of number 2 around here. Forgiveness and second chances are so twenty years ago. Unless your a star player.

Forgiveness and a second chance both imply that Doyle did something to be forgiven for.  If he truly wants a second chance and to be forgiven, I would think he would have apologized at some point since this came to light.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but Doyle has never made any type of statement of contrition or said that he was wrong, or apologized for anything he's done.  In fact in an ESPN story from June of last year Doyle said the following:

"At no time have I ever crossed the line of unethical behavior or bias based upon race. I do not make racist comments and I don't tolerate people who do." 

Why would I or anyone forgive a person who steadfastly denies doing anything wrong?  You either believe him or you believe the players that have spoken out regarding his behavior and his comments.  If you believe him - it's not a second chance situation, it's just hiring someone who was wrongfully accused.  If you believe the players, then why would you want him here when he denies saying what multiple people have gone on record accusing him of?  If the players are to be believed, then no - he doesn't deserve a second chance - not if he can't man-up and admit his behavior crossed the line.
