[QUOTE="Techster, post: 77276, member: 360"] Fans have to take information from these services as entertainment value only. You've got to understand, they don't practice true "journalism". Coaches feed them just enough information to be "inside", and in return the services disseminates feel good stories, tidbits about players and coaches but not the full story (especially if it's a suspension or firing), and in a way act as a PR arm for the program. These guys that work for the services have sources that are deep into the program and they know a lot of dirt on people...but when's the last time you heard them break negative news with details...trust me, they know why certain coaches were let go, and why certain players were booted off the team beyond breaking "team rules". They are not going to bite the hand that literally feeds them...remember, services make money on subscriptions. It's funny because when certain players transfer out (see Vad Lee), there's a bunch of information that comes out afterwards from "insiders" on boards and social media. Like Gailey's guys not "buying in" (nevermind "Gailey's guys" were key in helping us win an ACCCG, and quite a few of them were key in talking a lot of players from transferring out), or a former player not being fully committed (even though teammates on social media and in the local paper sing their praises on being a great leader and how hard they are working), or how the current coaching regime now is running things better than the former coaching regime. This was all information that was available at the time everything was going on...why didn't they tell us as it was happening as opposed to waiting till after the fact? There's a lot of agendas going on...that's why you need to make the judgement yourself as opposed to what "insiders" and services put out there. When CPJ's time at GT ends (all coaching tenures end), there will be "insider" stories that come out on what happened and why the next coach is doing better. It's just the nature of the college service and messageboard business. [/QUOTE]
