Yes, he may well have been a useful squad player but then Christie Elliott would have been a useful squad player too and his departure has resulted in little depth of feeling. As for a coaching role, you may have greater knowledge on the subject than I do but personally I have no idea if Doolan would make good coach or not. I still believe the sadness at his departure is more down to the familial feelings we hold for him than anything else.
