[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 10290, member: 231"] AE, that is right and all well and good. I think Tech fans generally like that about him and I do as well. But if a reporter asks for the 100th time a question the reporter is not necessarily a fool for that reason. They are always trying to trigger the person they interview to say something they can use as a quote in an article, to make their job easier. I think that CPJ tends to ignore that aspect and could care less about helping the reporter write their article. He is a football coach and wants to do his job. So he is very matter of fact in answering any question instead of making it a platform to try and control the message and image. As a result he can end up with one kind of "media created image" and then his real personality as seen in other venues like the radio show and his tweets. On this week's radio show he talked about the team not running the option well and made an aside that maybe he needs to be careful how he says things to the media because it can run with something he does not intend, or other times he has said this or that comment got blown up out of proportion. That happens because he simply answers a question directly and honestly and is un-politician like and untrained in the rhetorical art of controlling the message. I am fine with that, it "is what it is." :) [/QUOTE]
