And his refusal to co-operate with investigators never looks good. From the AP.

Do you know why Bradley is being brought in to coach at team that's currently in fourth place? You'd think they'd be pretty happy with the current coach.
Havre does not have a coach right now. The technical director has been coaching the team while they searched for a permanent head coach. Their plan is to get promoted this season.
A new American owner bought the club this past summer and the coach ended up getting fired at some point. I don't know those circumstances at all.
Apparently under the old coach they were in 15th place when he got fired. So the Technical Director took over as interim coach while they looked for someone new. Pretty good interim coach.
