Pat Dooley of The Gainesville Sun put a wrap on SEC Media Days over the weekend and I wanted to make sure everyone caught it.
Here are the five things Mr. Dooley says were learned in Hoover, Alabama last week:
1. The SEC rules — “The day the SEC named (Mike) Slive as its commissioner will go down as one of the best moments in the history of the conference.”
2. Kiffin is OK — “… He was very impressive at his first Media Days.”
3. No more records — “… Don’t be surprised if next year’s attendance (at Media Days) is down.”
4. Call him Chizzzzzzik — “… He never answered any questions without someone in the room putting down his or her pen or flipping off the tape recorder.”
5. The league is going to miss Timmy — “… There is never going to be another Tim Tebow.”
Mr. Dooley also handed out letter grades (and comments) on each coach’s presser:
Rich Brooks — A
Lane Kiffin — A-
Bobby Petrino — A-
Urban Meyer — B+
Mark Richt — B
Nick Saban — B
Bobby Johnson — B-
Houston Nutt — B-
Steve Spurrier — C
Les Miles — C-
Dan Mullen — D+
Gene Chizik — F
