Note to self: When meeting Tim Brando, do not question his analytical credentials:
Anyone who hasn't played or coached past, say, high school, should always have an answer to just such a question in his or her back pocket, so they can calmly, confidently respond to challenges by saying, "I am merely a longtime observer paid to offer commentary, analysis and hopefully entertainment based on X years of observation and reporting. You, consumer, may take or leave these observations at your discretion."
Or you can just get defensive, fly off the handle within seconds and tell your interrogator to "shut the hell up" without bothering to answer his question. Professionalism is all in the eye of the beholder.

Hat tip: Awful Announcing. And thumbs down to the YouTuber for the very played "redneck on toilet" pic. It takes a special kind of on-air meltdown to overcome that.

But Tim's point is valid; for Gary to be angry at Tim because people all over the country are making fun of AU's coach hirings-and-firings is to be missing the point. If Gary's mad, let him get mad at the Auburn administration - from Jetgate through Resignationgate, it all seems almost comical.
