Late in the 1st half some fans got into it with Dana. Dana went Bill O’Brien on them and security moved him away. When he came back on the field, he stayed with the team and mid-field until he came to the sideline.
First time I’ve seen a coach get into it with fans during a game.
Dana is flustered. He knows he has to work much harder if he wants the team to improve and win. He is trying to avoid it because doing so will cut into party time and naps.
Fans that call him out basically hits that point home and that angers him.
If true , then the tide has turned. That first quarter ending is the first time I have seen a team booed at TDECU since coach Levine years. Dana will have to have this team in the conference championship game to retain his job.
It was our section, directly behind me. Pretty wild that Dana told us to F off. In my 10-15 plus years I’ve never had a coach, come over to the sideline, stare fans down, and curse at them.
Tune was trying to get OB but pulled up lame and laid down. He is hurt and can’t run. Just before halftime ended I walked over to the home side down by the bench and watched Tune warm up, he was very intense and seemed upset. 22 should have gotten out of bounds as well, Dana was really upset about that. He needs to quit going for it so much and kick the easy field goal when the game is close, that could have made the difference.
His buyout right now is $7.1 million. We’re going to have to endure whatever record we get from him.
In 2022, his buyout is $2.5 million. This is much more manageable.
Someone posted that the higher ups in the athletics dept has sent word that Dana needs to win at least 8 to 9 games this year or he’s gone. Not sure how true this is but we’ll see.
