“Scottsburg, (are) you complete idiots? Like are you just that fricking stupid, Scottsburg, Indiana? Can we please not fire a coach who has been great for the community,” Dakich said on the air. “I mean what is wrong with you people in Scottsburg, Indiana? I mean are you that hillbilly?”

He explained why he does the show. “That’s why I’m on this earth,” Dakich said. “I’m on this earth because we must call dumb(expletive deleted) out.
