Coach Dooley: Tennessee like Germans at Normandy

Sometimes you have to wonder at what point in a press conference should a person just stop talking and say "you know, that just wasn't a good analogy.... let me start again." 2 minutes is a very long time to listen to yourself say something stupid.

A cannae reference? That would be brilliant.

It just highlights how far Tennessee has fallen, from perennial SEC power with an NC-winning coach to a dysfunctional Mickey Mouse operation run by a babbling idiot who has no business coaching any BCS program, let alone a historic power like Tennessee.

Maybe it's the "OMG I SHOULD BE OUTRAGED" burnout but this one doesn't really register as offensive for me.
I think people find this one more bizarre than anything. It's not real common for people to draw analogies between themselves and the Nazis.

Eh, it always bothered me how the Nazis kept complaining that they should have won World War 2, even though they routinely fell apart in the clutch. Compare that to the Allies, who had a great defense when it mattered most and even went on offense from time to time. Any logical observer would understand that the Allies deserve to win.

Rommel wasn't a Nazi.
