So CGM is at some coach's convention or some get together, whatever, doesn't matter...in Charlotte. He gives a 30 minute speech and says the following:
"You know, the SEC Network was supposed to be really cool three or four years ago. Now, it's all about they're trying to get the coach fired about every other day you turn it on. Your family's the one that pays the price for that. I'm isolated; all I've got is kind of what's in the with the team and all that. It's a real challenge and I'm blessed to have the family I have."
So, you gotchu a new deal and you feel empowered to piss off the very network that's formed to prop up this conference. Now, let me say first off, I DON'T think this is any huge deal and not trying to make more of it than it is. But, you just gave Finebaum and others the ammunition to take shot after shot at you for years to come. Earth to Gus...when you're losing an average of 5 games a year at Kentucky, no one cares. When you do it at Auburn, your ass will be picked apart and everyone at the SEC Network and every other sports network will question whether you are the right man for the job. Just take your $49 million and shut the hell up.
