When are football coaches going to learn that you just don't compare anything having to do with War to Football?
Before you call Derek Dooley just another idiot football coach - this isn't a dumb guy - he has an undergrad degree from UVA and a Law degree from the University of Georgia.
My University of Alabama Crimson Tide embarrassed Derek's Tennessee Volunteer football team this past Sat.
Right now we're like the Germans in World War II. Here comes the boats, they're coming. You have the binoculars, and it's like, 'Oh, my God, the invasion is coming.'
You will go cross eyed and cross eared listening to this fool. - h/t to @DennisDoddCbs

"Right now we're like the Germans in World War II. Here comes the boats, they're coming. You have the binoculars, and it's like, 'Oh, my God, the invasion is coming.' That's what they did, they were in the bunkers. It's coming, they call Rommel -- they can't find Rommel. (Pretending to speak into a radio.) 'What do we do? I'm not doing anything until I get orders.' (Pretends to look through binoculars.) 'Have you gotten Rommel yet?'
-- "All right, and the Americans were the exact opposite. We hit the beach, and we were on the wrong spot. 'What do we do? I don't know, but these guys are firing and we better hide over there and blow some stuff up to get up there.' They weren't looking for (help). That's where we've got to make that transition.
-- "I don't want the German people to get upset at me. I'm not attacking them, but that's what happened. You had one group, they weren't worried about what the plan was and orders and all that. When the war hits, things change. You've got to go. You had the other group, and they go, 'Wait a minute. They told us the invasion was way further north' where we had the empty tanks and we were hidding Patton out. 'We weren't ready for this, now what do we do?' 'We better wait until Rommel tells us what to do.'
-- "I hope I got my names right."
Apparently this is from a scene in the 1962 movie The Longest Day. But that doesn't make it right.
I think I'm going to have a nightmare from suffering through this poor fool's little rant. Note to Derek - Just because your dad Vince the Prince was a good football coach doesn't entitled you to a thing. In a couple of years you will be canned from the University of Tennessee and you will be an assistant somewhere. Let's hope you aren't teaching history anywhere.
