Perhaps this has already been posted. Proof that there is a higher power... perhaps it's the Mouse, but I'll throw a prayer towards anything that got this lug nut off ESPN.

I will never talk about That Game. GTHC.
I have nothing to base this on other than Dakich’s “personality” but I’m gonna take a wild guess that he refuses to get vaxed and ESPN requires it so he’s gone. Whatever the reason, buh and bye spells buh-bye.
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. - Winston Churchill

He's shuffled off to the Clay Travis school of sports broadcasting. Good riddance.
Now if only we could be so lucky with Seth Greenberg.
There's Duke anti-bias in announcers, sure (yes, Packer comes to mind). And there are annoying announcers (looking at you, Alexander). But Dakich was (so happy to use past tense here) just clearly at another level of not just bias against Duke, not just being a terrible commentator, but being an overall neanderthal in his takes and comments. I'm not defending Bilas and Elmore, but they are relatively intelligent individuals. Dakich is dumber than a box of hammers but with the same finesse, and he never added to the moment other than expressing distain or outrage (or pulling for the player that reminded him of himself). Listening to him was like being in the lowest level of hell during a game, with Satan's minions sticking pitchforks in your ears. There are other poor commentators, but no one on ESPN or any other network approached him. If he was anywhere near competent, one of those other major networks would have hired him. Instead, he's on the Outkick Nework, whatever that is. He's the GOAT of bad announcers, bar none in my book.

Jimmy Dykes gets under my skin too with his scorn for Duke. He loves to talk about the little schools and how hard they work and deserve more recognition and I've never heard him say one good word about Duke.
Woo-hoo!
Who cares what the reason is; this is cause for celebration!
Good riddance. A know-it-all who talked incessantly. My mute button will get a rest.
He can peddle his wares to the dozens of people who watch Outkick Network. Have fun with that, Dan.
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
I didn't realize who Outkick is and what is roots are. Given that, and the information contained in the article I'm linking, I feel even more strongly in my hunch described in my earlier post on this thread as to what is driving Dakich's move: Covid testing and Covid messaging. He's gonna fit right in with this collection of cranks and quacks.
