He’s a smug annoying bama rider who isn’t great at his job.

I'd report that if it were true but it just isn't. It's possibly fair to say he's lost a step over the past 10 years (I mean, he's almost 70). But he is very good at his job.

Re "bama rider" - in this very game, PI was called on LSU on a big 3rd and 10 stop. They watched the replay in slo mo and Danielson was like "eh, that's not a good call". Later on, Flott broke up a pass and no PI was called. The replay showed he really probably was interfering, and Danielson brushed right past it.

Lots of examples like this. I just don't understand why people expect him not to notice the quality of THE football dynasty of the past 25 years. Bama has been great. I hate it, but it is what it is.

When they talked about Joe Burrow's decision to come to LSU, Gary said something like "I was puzzled at the time - LSU is where QBs go to DIE!". Might be harsh, but it simply has been basically true. He then went on to say that Joe Burrow and his coaches have flipped the script to great effect.

I do think he was completely wearied by Les Miles' monkey shines. Who wouldn't have been? That shite was a blight.
