What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons…

Reminds me of the quote by Thucydides: “The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools."
Tuberville is neither, though.
He’s not thinking or fighting either. So I guess we’re good?
He neither thinks nor fights (he coaches!), but is both a coward and a fool.
You sure he’s not a coward and a fool?
