Was he drunk? Why would you do something like this? Is he THAT butthurt over UK beating IU 31-24 all-time?

Over the line? Dan Dakich attacks Derek Willis on twitter
- Thread starter LowCountryCat
- Start date
Totally unnecessary from dickitch
Some of the replies are funny.
ESPN should can him for this. They won't. UK should blackball him as best that they can. The first tweet was not good, but the second is unacceptable for a man who works in the business and calls games.
Keeping a POS is the espn way. They are a POS so very easy to understand. Jockicccch and Vmouth, enuf said.
My understanding is even many IU folks can't stand him. Guy made his hay off one game that he did well against Jordan. Other than that, not much to hang his hat on. Especially coaching wise. He says his family motto is "sack up". Well he blocks people on Twitter like crazy. Maybe he should sack up.
Haha come on Dan. Look at that record. Even IU didn't want you after Sampson.

Dakich's son scored 21 points total in 3 years at Michigan. Willis scored more in some games and is getting a chance to play in the league. Not to mention he has a hot GF. I wouldn't take too much concern with any life advice or critiques he's giving, obviously Derek is already farther ahead in life than he or his son will ever be.

I'm roughly his age, and have kids roughly Willis's age. The idea of attempting to needle and taunt some kid that age on social media, especially over what amounted to a mild embarrassment 18 months ago or whatever, strikes me as demeaning and childish. He should be embarrassed and ESPN should discipline him.
LOL. IU fans letting their U.K. butt hurt seep out gives me a hearty laugh every time.
He's doing the same thing with pictures of other players too. From Duke and IU. Guy is a straight up POS. Actually, that might have been other people posting pics of other players in that Twitter thread. Not sure.
He's a big baby too. Last time IU beat us he was trolling UK nonstop. Any UK fan who knocked him got blocked.
How awesome would it be if some of these athletes he rails on beats his azz the next time they see him.
this. he wasn't an assistant for no reason. and it didn't work out. and he should be thanking his lucky stars (or bob knight who knows) for his job at espn.
All the 5* players we've gotten and he's accusing us of paying Derek Willis? Really?
He needed hits and phone calls. Don't give it to him. He's a POS.
Saw a pic on MySpace. His son has a tramp stamp of a butterfly surrounded by some wispy line doodles.
LOL....... its not like they are expensive or anything. You see players all around the states with jewelry that costs many times more...
Stop feeding the trolls. Somehow UK fans are still clueless as to why we get targeted on stuff like this.
It works for them every single time
It works for them every single time
What would that prove? The guy is a penis from head to toe.
When companies start shaving the payroll they don't normally keep the best, they keep the cheapest, it looks like that's the way ESPN went
