He almost fired Gibbs after 5 games and made him and BB go to his house after games during that 0-5 start.
Also a lot of bad stories about him when he ran Lakers/Kings. Employees were subject to termination if they didn't pick up their phones after a certain amount of rings. Same stuff as Snyder... you didn't talk to him unless he talked to you. No one was allowed to call him anything but Mr. Cooke. When he talked to you you had to respond w, "Yes sir -no sir" No one was allowed to talk while at work or call each other by their first names. Really weird shit.
Dan is kind of a shitty guy but no one has heard anything about him being a crappy parent. Cooke on the other hand? idk..
