A friend still coaching HS football in MS

Heck of a post coach! But let's clearify one thing not all Bulldogs are good. Like our rivals to the east in 6a.

Coach Echols and my Dad were rivals and good friends. They were the definition of "Old School". I have witnessed them on the verge of coming to blows during a game- then spending 30 minutes laughing and telling stories after the game while their teams sat on the bus waiting to go home. My Dad won a state title and wasnt bad- but Echols is a top 5 baseball coach in Mississippi history. He coached me in Jr high football and was a tough SOB. Loved it

That's what I'm talking about. I loved that old school coaching. I think that's why he and I got along so well. Even years after he retired he'd go all night, I was right there with him always listening too. I learned a lot from him coaching next to him just for the hell of it, you know. We didn't have to, but if we could teach anything and someone wanted to learn we'd be the last ones to leave the park. But sitting around listening to all those war stories never got old either.

To clarify my illness. I was diagnosed with COPD and its no cure. I was sent to UAB for a double-lung transplant in 2009. I was not a candidate so its a disease that doesn't get better. They said I would possibly live to 2015 at the latest. But they didn't know I was a "Bulldog" and we don't quit or give up. I'm down to 16% lung volume function but the good lord has blessed me. These message boards are very therapeutic to me, especially with OM getting hammered. I asked the man upstairs to spare me the time to see those bastards up north go down.

God bless you sir

As someone who gets tagged with the "arrogant" term sometimes, I can understand it. I'm as southern as you get, but I don't BS much. I don't start my conversion with 20 minutes of "how's mom and them?"; I don't care who you are eating chicken with this Sunday. I'm talking to you as an expert in my field. If you don't want to hear what I have to say, I'll probably cut the conversation short instead of BSing you into listening to me. If you don't want my help/advice/expertise, then good luck, because I know more about my field than anyone else in this shit hole town and you will probably get bad help/advice/expertise and pay more for it. Your finished project will not meet its full potential, and you will be left wondering why you didn't listen to me. My projects will always perform better than yours, and will get state/regional/national awards, and that is why I'm the expert.

So yeah, I see why some people find Dan arrogant.

Not sure why, but I really enjoyed this post.
