Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Offbeat Friday: Chuck Amato sings ABBA in order to get the Florida State Defensive Coordinator Job

In an attempt to bury the hatchet with much-maligned Linebacker coach, Chuck Amato, I decided to help him pen a song that would hopefully help win him Jimbo Fisher's affections as well as the Defensive Coordinator position.  Follow the jump for Chuck's earnest plea, as written by me.

(There are rumblings that some of our readers are still having a tough time with "the jump."  Let me make it really clear- just below here there is a link that says "Continue reading this post."  Spoiler alert: if you click there.... you can continue reading!!  Hope that clears everything up now.)

Star-divide

Music: ABBA

Lyrics: Chuck Amato and MattDNole



 

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Let me be DC.

If you think I'm not too old, then I've got you set
If you choose to let me coach, must have lost a bet
If you need a coach, who can drink the whole Draino
Honey I'm still free
Let me be DC
Gonna do my very best, and it ain't no lie
I would let you touch my chest, if you let me try

Let me be DC
(that's all I ask of you Jimbo)
Let me be DC

We can go shopping, we can clean lockers, as long as were together
We can start napping, watch tape of Wisconsin, who can coach you better?
Cuz you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm coaching you
It's magic
I can teach you to execute, help pick out pretty shoes
But I think you know
That I just can't coach.

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Let me be DC.

If you like your LBs small, then I'm the right man
If they just can't find the ball, keep me in your plans
If you need a coach, who can not recruit at all
Honey I'm still free
Let me be DC
Gonna put in some effort, and it aint no lie
I would keep my hours short, prolly gone by five.


Let me be DC
(come on, give me a break will you? )
Let me be DC

Or you can take your time Bobby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna outlive you
If you don't wanna fight me, Jimbo don't worry, I'll sneak up and get you
Let me tell you now
My coaching's bad enough to make the whole team suck
Its magic
You say that I waste my time, your control I'll undermine
Please don't let me go
Cuz I just can't coach

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Let me be DC.

If you think I'm not too old, then I've got you set
If you choose to let me coach, must have lost a bet
If you need a coach, who can drink the whole Draino
Honey I'm still free
Let me be DC
Gonna do my very best, Jimbo don't fire me
That I'm good ole Chuck the Chest, let me be DC


(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Boo boo boo boo boob, boo boo boo boo boob
Honey Im still free
Let me be DC
Gonna do my very best, Jimbo don't fire me
That I'm good ole Chuck the Chest, take a chance on me
(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Boo boo boo boo boob, boo boo boo boo boob
Honey Im still free
Let me be DC....

The Academy of Music proudly presents the award for best lip sync performance to ABBA.

My check for $9.99 is in the mail. Once again, nice job Mr. DNole.

I meant $9.99 for this months subscription fee to Matts Premium content, but

when I reread it, it could also mean my $9.99 for the CD. Just to make it easy

I have enclosed 2 checks for $9.99.

OK, the song parodies jumped the shark with Amato....

Damnit man!

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

This one even better than the Bobby retirement song.

CTC retorts...

“I didn’t hit Jimbo, no I didn’t”
“I’m not sabotaging the program.”

“IT WAS THE ONE ARMED MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Was this the song playing during this encounter?
"I’m strong enough to take it…. I didn’t know about it until last Wednesday. He was coming out of the shower, I was going in the shower. He said, ‘Hey, did you hear that we had a fight?

I’m sure that must’ve been a special moment between CTC and Jimbo.

Let's rearrange the order in which things were said.
“He was coming out of the shower, I was going in the shower.
He said, ‘Hey,
I’m strong enough to take it”

A scene from Brokeback Doak.

Not that there is anything wrong with being a gay, just sayin’.

Chuck Amato has been a non-factor since he came back. Our linbackers have routinely been out of position. Just look at the winning touchdown last week. How does that RB bust free for a long gain? Simple. No gap discipline from the linebackers. I love Dakoda and Nigel but I dont think they have been properly coached. Hopefully when Mickey goes he’ll take Man Tits with him.

Correction

Amato has been a HUGE factor since he came back. All of those mistakes were a result of bad coaching, so he’s been doing stuff…just the wrong stuff

While we're at it...

No more Chucky’s blather
Silence ever after
Walking through the stadium, smiling all the while
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-mato)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-mato)
We just have to face it, this time you’re through
(This time you’re through, this time you’re through
This time you’re through, you’re really through)
Breaking up passes is never easy, I know but you have no clue
(You have to go this time
you have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best for FSU

Well Chuck said

That they are BFF’s and he tried to hire Jimbo twice….

Why would he have to write a song about staying on when Jimbo takes over? Certainly Jimbo wouldn’t fire a friend just because he can’t coach. BFF’s are forever, coaching a team is a 9-5 gig.

How did you post a vid?

I found Jimbos response! With attitude and aggression from Pantera
