I had an old man tell me once that in order to be a coach you have to be an asshole. Although I agree partially, I also realize you never argue with someone holding a megaphone. No matter how strong your points you will be drowned out.
If you get volatile with the media you had better win. Look at Derek Dooley. I suppose he was reacting the was his father would react to media. Only problem is Vince had wins backing his dictatorship. Derek had zilch. Still he felt obliged to wrestle with the media. Worked out well didn't? If you don't believe me look at Bobby Knight. The media hated his guts. However, they were powerless while he was winning.
Even if you are winning they will lay in the cut. Remember Vicky Fulmer going off on Adams? The day Fulmer was fired she ran up there staring down the media. Now he's waiting on Blindside 2 to come out. I understand this move by Butch. I also understand the guys putting pen to paper pay the bills relying on information. He can get away with it as long as he wins.
