Speaking during his weekly media appearance on Monday, Dooley offered a 2-minute-long description of the confusion caused by the surprise of the Americans landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day and the Germans' slow reaction.

Dooley says right now "we're like the Germans in World War II ... like, 'Oh my God, the invasion is coming.' " Dooley added that he didn't "want the German people to get upset at me. I'm not attacking [them], but that's what happened."

Why must coaches make needlessly dramatic references? Just say what you fricking mean and don't channel your inner Winston Churchill when you're at the podium talking about collegiate athletics.

It's not even offensive in any way. Just retarded.

You're being rather Stalinistic aren't you?

How flexible does one have to be to insert their foot into their mouth?

Lots of the great football coaches have the same conceptual skills, ability to strategize, and and motivate as do commanders of armies. It's not THAT far off...

Do you think Les Miles practices trying to confuse the other team by having his players fake substitutions?

Please watch the clip before commenting.

It wasn't bad at all in context and was actually pretty damn funny.

Nothing like Saban's 9/11 comments.

Does this rant, only remind me, of a certain head coach for Alabama?

I thought so

If Dooley and Tenn are the Germans, and the rest of the SEC is the allied forces, who gets to be the Jews?
