Any Trent Dilfer fans here?

Didn't think so

Got the axe today at UAB

Maybe we'll get lucky and ESPN hires him back

UAB. Dilfer has referred to his coaching tenure as a “rebuild,” even though he took over a program with seven winning seasons in a row. It was more of a teardown.

In a recent postgame press conference—sparsely attended because UAB got its *** kicked—Dilfer invited his grandson up on stage and said “it’s not like this is freakin’ Alabama.” A little joke, and a true one: UAB is smaller, less prestigious and not as good at football as Alabama. Every UAB fan surely knows that. They just don’t want to hear it from their own **** people when they already have to hear it from everybody else in the state.

And in a podcast released by the school itself, Dilfer sat down with Ingram, the UAB AD, and gave a recruiting pitch for the University of Louisville’s volleyball program, where his daughter plays. When Ingram gently pushed back and said volleyball recruits should also consider UAB, Dilfer weirdly doubled down, saying “they’re pulling from different buckets”—essentially, that he should be allowed to hype Louisville’s program over UAB’s because Louisville’s recruits are so much better that they’d never consider UAB.

All that boneheadedness and a 5-14 record to boot
