You joke, but sometimes I use a different vocabulary to talk to certain SEC fan bases on here.
I also do tricks with the formatting, like leaving everything in one mega paragraph, when I want to exclude certain fanbases from the conversation.
A little bit goes a long way.

I knew I always liked LSU for a reason. That and the Mizzou game of his final season (he actually quit that game - had the opportunity to score and instead sent it to OT despite having one of the most prolific offenses within scoring distance with plenty of time to win the game) are the two that define Derek Dooley's entire tenure.
The LSU game was a prelude to the incompetence we'd see over and over and over. The Mizzou game is the game fans and a television audience watched a man quit his job during the game (tho he technically showed up for the next game his team sat it on its hands and barely tried to hide it). He decided not to coach the final game and the team did well - even gave a gatorade bath to Chaney who is the only UT coach who is a perfect 1-0.

Dooley should have never been hired. When yall got like the fifth rejection you should have gone the interim route.
I don't even think we got rejections (I don't think AD Mike Hamilton tried but went straight to Dooley). It was late when he was hired and we were reeling but Coach Kippy Brown had taken on the interim role. He wanted the job, bleeds orange and knows this program as good as anyone. I thought then (still do) we should've hire Kippy for a year. He'd have done a decent job - maybe even a good job - and we'd have been better off.
Instead, Hamilton hired Dooley and Kippy went on to a job in the pros.

My favorite is adjectives that modify the nouns preceding them, like "attorney general" or "That really hot chick walking is an LSU student." :-D

I drive by there occasionally to pick up a few big words and throw them around the rant.

Oh yeah. That is not in question. That mistake set your program back years. I think Arky learned from it if that makes you feel better.

I'm confused by your response.
Do you not think Kippy would've made a great interim (assuming we'd extended him for a full season)? I mean I do. He had too many connections/too much experience both in the program and outside of it and both in college and the pros not to imo. And he was dyed in the wool true orange as he was born in Sweetwater and grew up a fan plus coached here many times which helps even more (we've had good luck with guys like that and he'd already been a coach here three times - Majors, Fulmer, and Dooley). Also served as Miami's OC. Even guided the young Peyton at UT. (And that's just part of his college experience - his NFL experience is excluded altogether since college game).
Kippy loves this program - a LOT.
OTOH, Smith at Arky had a short prior stint as special teams coach there but wasn't really an Arky guy.

Dooley wasn't lasting longer than 3 years even if we beat LSU 45-0 in 2010. He was as good as gone when he let his team quit in Lexington in 2011.
Yeah, we were optimistic in 2012 because we had NFL players at almost every position on offense, but deep down we knew we were fricked because Dooley was a clown.

Petrino went into his tailspin after the LSU loss as well. Sumlin will probably be next.
if you want your shitty coach fired....just come to Death Valley
