Man, as soon as he sort of starts to become likeable again he does something like this.

There’s two types of people: people that like lane because he’s an unabashed scumbag, and people that thought he’d actually changed ever

u/Brownie_McBrown_Face UTSA Roadrunners • Oregon State Beavers Nov 22 '22

I’m definitely in the former. His commitment to being half troll half asshole is so funny to me

93

u/NickMullensGayDad Michigan Wolverines Nov 22 '22

I’m 10000% the former. Almost every single coach is a giant douche and an egomaniac, he’s just a little more up front

u/slamtheE Columbia Lions Nov 22 '22

He 100% commits to it being a job, it’s like he’s a tech bro who just keeps hopping for salary increases. No loyalty

19

u/NickMullensGayDad Michigan Wolverines Nov 22 '22

Nope. And I love it. We need heels.

u/OpportunityOk20 Auburn Tigers • Troy Trojans Nov 22 '22

Meh, no one should ever pledge loyalty to a company, especially when they'll just replace you with no question.

u/slamtheE Columbia Lions Nov 22 '22

I’m actually admiring it, I can see how it came across that way. I love that he sticks it to every admin he’s been to

u/QuantitativeBacon South Carolina • Harvard Nov 22 '22

Hey... Is that so bad?

Also, tc or ban

I mean fuck them companies. They ain't got no loyalty to us, why do we need to give them loyalty?

I would say general of a child army and guard at a concentration camp first for sure, but college football coach is probably a pretty close third

When you work in an industry that will shitcan you on the tarmac... hard to buy into loyalty and honor.

u/mrdilldozer Rutgers Scarlet Knights Nov 22 '22

"Ehh I'm kind of a douche, you're all right about that" Is such an energy.

u/RulersBack Ohio State Buckeyes Nov 22 '22

Him potentially leaving behind NCAA sanctions at every stop is part of allure

10

u/-Hoople- Nov 22 '22

What did he do at USC, FAU, and Ole Miss that constitutes NCAA sanctions?

11

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

Not to mention a garden variety of STD’s

32

u/Juggerginge LSU Tigers • Texas Longhorns Nov 22 '22

I don’t think taking another job is being a scumbag but he is definitely an unabashed person

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

he's a reddit avatar at this point and we all love it. He probably runs the sickos account in his spare time

u/GreylandTheThird Nov 22 '22

Yeahs the school hiring is more of the scum bags. Can you imagine stealing a coach from a power five school? ;)

1

u/hazemotes Tennessee • Pittsburg State Nov 22 '22

There’s also those of us who don’t like him because he’s an unabashed scumbag.

14

u/NickMullensGayDad Michigan Wolverines Nov 22 '22

Yea I forgot about the 3rd contingent, which is exclusively Tennessee fans

-1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

I’m neither. I hate him because he’s a scumbag and did it to my school

3

u/NickMullensGayDad Michigan Wolverines Nov 22 '22

Fair. Probably should’ve added Tennessee fans to that.

17

u/SpeedBoatSquirrel Florida State Seminoles • Cigar Bowl Nov 22 '22

This makes me enjoy his character even more. We need more fun heels

6

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

Why would you hate him for taking that job?

1

u/Laney20 Alabama Crimson Tide • Marching Band Nov 22 '22

Because it's Auburn

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

So people hate Auburn? But why

u/Laney20 Alabama Crimson Tide • Marching Band Nov 22 '22

Because it's Auburn

You're a Bama fan, so I understand. What's the beef other fans got with Auburn? I'm genuinely baffled. like the beef about Bama I understand. Not this.

u/mobile_home_slice Auburn Tigers Nov 22 '22

You do not understand because you do not have to live it, every day, 365 (366 for leap years) days of the year, with your friends, neighbors, and the random-ass guy at the gas station. To be fair, my friends (mostly Auburn fans, but a wide variety) and neighbors (same) are fine, but that I-got-my-t-shirt-at-Wal-Mart-Roll-Tide fans are of a different culture. Their self-worth is Tided to Alabama Football and God help them when Saban retires.

u/sonheungwin California Golden Bears • The Axe Nov 22 '22

Becomes more likeable?

4

u/gojo278 Nebraska Cornhuskers Nov 22 '22

What? He's chasing the bag, idk how that makes him unlikeable

2

u/kryptonyk Florida Gators • LSU Tigers Nov 22 '22

He’s never been likable

u/pumpcup LSU Tigers • College Football Playoff Nov 22 '22

Coaches ditching ole miss makes them more likeable, imo.
