Dooley is like the Germans. Butch is like the Allies! Dooley is waiting on orders from Rommel, and Butch is handing orders to Patton!
Boom!
Well, to be frank, European theater allies were a collection of buffoons. Not the grunts, just their commanders. Montgomery was an egoistically and overrated jackass. American commander. Ike was overly cautious and even timid. He even drafted a letter before D-Day to pre-acknowledge the landing failure and slaughter of soldiers on the beach. Then there was Hitler stupidly overruling his generals on strategy time and again. Luck, God, the weather, and the timing of each of these elements all conspired to put circumstances in favor of Allied success.
The only real brains for the allies were Patton and Bradley. Patton was held in check too long by Ike, Montgomery, and I think to some extent by Bradley as well. Otherwise Patton would have flatten the Germans and marched right into Russia, we'd not have had the cold war if he was let loose. But he slapped a soldier in the North African campaign (or Italian campaign, I forget) so they muzzled him. Well, anyway, how this reflects on CBJ, I'm not sure you got it right.
As for DD, a shame fans can't appreciate the positives he did managed. Under him, we moved away from being Thug University. Look what happen to I think two players right after DD left. He actually upgraded our recruits and built the roster better than it had been from the late PF and LK eras. But I guess some folks just have to kick other folks when they're down. Kick again and again instead of moving on.
CBJ, welcome and I hope you bring the UT back to where it belongs. Being a terror to every team we play.
