Social media calling out Gary Danielson for CBS broadcast of SEC Championship

As the SEC’s season came to an end at the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Saturday between Alabama and Florida, fans across the country came to the same weekly conclusion about the CBS Sports broadcast. Many of them weren’t too fond of broadcaster Gary Danielson.
Per usual, with a game involving Alabama, the debate was whether Danielson went too far in favor of the Crimson Tide, or was too critical of them.
Early in the first half, one fan noted, with video evidence, that Danielson said that Alabama had not blitzed yet even though his broadcast partner Brad Nessler called a blitz two plays before. Also in the first half, more than one fan caught that Danielson called Alabama star receiver DeVonta Smith, “DeVonta White.”
Danielson also struck a nerve with several fans when he noted that Alabama recruits good players, one of the biggest understatements in college football these days.
Here’s a sampling of the criticism:
GARY!!!!! ITS NAH-GEE. NOT NAH-JAY. YOU ARE PAINFUL SIR.

Watching the SEC Championship game reminds me of how happy I was to hear the SEC is moving from CBS. If the SEC network hires Gary Danielson, please shoot me.

#SECChampionshipGame I don’t know why I didn’t start the game on mute. Gary Danielson adds nothing but inane blabber and inaccuracies. The SEC Championship game deserves more than what he’s capable of delivering, even on his best night. Pop Warner deserves more than Gary.

“As we know, Alabama recruits good players.” — Gary Danielson
Shrewd insight from a man whose sole job is analyzing one league.

Gary Danielson: “Alabama recruits really good players.” Like we didn’t know that already!

I won’t miss Gary Danielson and his dumb comments. I would rather listen to two guys play slide whistles instead of listening to Gary and Brad.
