Derek Dooley`s offseason job

[volKano]

For the folks who just can't let the fact that DD is gone and just have to keep gnawing the nub of it:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The humorous story is told gravely; the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh when he gets through. And sometimes, if he has had good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the "nub" of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause, and then repeat it again. It is a pathetic thing to see.[/FONT]

That is the most smug post I have ever read. You actually did research to post that.:zeitung_lesen:

Smug or not, no I didn't really do research. I'm familiar with the quote from my college days. I had a book explaining humor from a linguist perspective. Samuel Clemens was a featured author/commenter in that book. The pitiful repetitive putdowns on DD reminded me of that quote and so I posted it. Smug or not, there's the nub. :tease2:

Looks like he's still in knoxville in that pic. Dallas is a much bigger city.

Hey boy, where is Sheriff Branford at?

Oh, pardon me. For some reason you sounded a little taller on radio.

What drives this kind of garbage? Insecurity? Jealousy? Ignorance?

Let.It.Go.

Derek Dooley was deemed unsatisfactory as the head coach of our state university's football team, comprised of student athletes.

He was fired and has said or done nothing of offense since leaving. He helped with the VFL program (good thing) and kept us out of trouble in a tough time for our program, when many other coaches chose not to take on the task. Part of this reason is the ignorant expectations of some around this program.

I am far from a CDD fan, but it's over. We have a new coach now, who seems to be doing positive things. Focus energy on being anxious for these things.

Some of you must be unbearable to live with.

I feel bad for coach Jones with the unreal expectations the fan base is putting on this team! If they don't get to A bowl game the fans will be calling for his job too!

May God have mercy on Butch Jones' soul if he doesn't win here with this middle school mentality crowd.

Come on man, lighten up. Thats good stuff and I aint even mad at Dools.

At first I felt bad for him, and then I remembered he makes $3 mil/year and I'm like

Come on .... someone had to

He doesn't care one tiny bit about this thread. The only people who get upset about it would be people who spend way too much time on here and feel like they are way more important than they actually are.

No fun allowed! Sit up straight! Get that smile off of your face, Mr. Fanbase!
