Guy has always been a jerk. Hard to feel sorry for him.

It was Devonta Freeman because he put up "the U" after scoring, but the moron posted a picture of Tim Jernigan from a couple years ago also throwing up "the U".

Curious that he finds death threats against him or his family so outrageous, while offering bounty to hurt others is just part of normal societal discourse.  Not defending in anyway FSU fans who might have stoops to Dan's level - but it is not tremendously different from what he was already doing.

Sileo and I have something in common.  We both dreamed of becoming great radio talk show hosts.  Neither of us got our wish. :)

 

Seems like bounties are ingrained in the culture at UM.

Not taking away from the fact that the guy is a douche, but it was posted as a joke.  Granted he is under a higher level of scrutiny because of his position, but it really was not a huge deal.

It's one thing if you've messed up and said something stupid once. And, worse, gotten fired for it. But to do it again?! Sorry, but I have no sympathy for the guy.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
