If they think this is bad I'd like to see them deal with a chronically toxic fan base like Tennessee or LSU
 
his dream job is being in "media" covering wake sports. making whatever opinion he wants.
then whines about being a virtual punching bag when his dumbass opinions are called out?

I have zero interest in getting into a back-and-forth with anyone here, and it's incredibly difficult to not be defensive after being a virtual punching bag on this site from a handful of posters over the last couple of months, but I'll try my best to address this politely.

I'd argue that many of the questions you feel should be asked. . .have indeed been asked, if not by me, then by others who cover the team regularly.

For instance, in the post-Georgia Tech press conference, after Conor asked about Griffis holding onto the ball too long, I asked Clawson "What is the biggest difference between 'Fall Camp Mitch Griffis' and 'First Four Game Mitch Griffis.' I followed up asking a question about if the offensive line gave him enough time in the pocket that game. So I addressed both the QB/practice question you had and the offensive line just in that single press conference. You can hear me ask those two questions starting at the 3:49 mark of this video:

I've never been told I can't ask a question and haven't been admonished over my line of questioning aside from the old basketball SID during the Manning era. In my opinion, asking good/tough questions to coaches is good for everyone:
1) It's my job
2) It's actually GOOD for the coach, because it gives him a chance to get his message out on the issues troubling the program
3) The fans deserve it

There's never a time where I felt like my credential was on the line if I were to ask a question that was 'too tough.' That's really not a thing. And the food is quite unremarkable overall. For basketball, for instance, it's just a concession stand voucher, and I eat at home either before or after the games 95 percent of the time.

I've been covering Wake Forest Athletics for 10 seasons now. It's been a dream job. There's not a day that goes by where I go to bed feeling like I've done all I could for the fans/readers or that there's not something I could have done better. I've given this everything I've had for a decade. I'm sorry it hasn't been good enough for you so far. I'll try to do better.

I sincerely am going back to Demon Deacon Digest and will return to being a virtual punching bag for you folks. Have at it.

I do like that the other day on Twitter Cam was arguing that there’s no point in asking those type of tough questions and today Les is arguing they do ask those type of “pointless questions”. Real synergy at the work place going on.
