Dorrell gets the blame for not considering what effect her actions might have on the rest of women working in male-dominated sports...but my guess is that Dorrell wasn't considering very much in the way of long-term consequences in the first place.  Harder's article wasn't really concerned with the fact that Dorrell displaced her candidacy but with the fact that this case is now having a chilling effect on all potential women hires in male-dominated coaching staffs.

At least, that's how I read it.

I read it the same way.  My point was that Harder seems to be putting all of the blame on Dorrell for the negative effects this incident has, whereas I think Petrino deserves at least as much of the blame.  Dorrell and Petrino together did a ton of damage to all women working in male-dominated sports, and yet Harder is criticizing only Dorrell for that.
