Why does no member of the media simply ask, "Should your job be in danger" and then leave a long pause for an answer. Lots of ways to dodge it, but sometimes you can see micro-expressions or at least it's been asked.

Most of our media members are University plants for lack of a better word. Media members don't like to ask tough questions, because they'll be denied access to those coaches/players if they go too far

Major outlets with no affiliation to Baylor have correspondents there so it's not fully explained by just a fraternal press audience.

Eva use they want to continue to have access to the media room

Outside of Waco nobody cares or even remebers that Baylor plays football.

Not sure Baylor is in the position of cutting off what few major media outlets endure the appreciation conferences.

I'm in DFW and care a lot. Baylor has more than zero been building a reputation. You can't say there's none of that. And people have noticed. The press from the last 15 years, some of it attests to that. I get you're in a lousy mood, but that's not the answer either that no one cares. I get what you're saying in proportion and certainly this season, but don't buy that as an answer.

What he said was hyperbole, but there's still a lot of truth to it. Our fanbase is small. There's not going to be that much outrage. Remember, this is a fanbase that shushes people and calls security if their fellow fans are too loud at basketball games

As you know, Ave is one of only 6 Latino head coaches in college football.

The degree to which this plays a part is unknown. Having sat on deic committees, I'd imagine it's not 0%. There's different standards

A couple of weeks ago Dave himself said he knew he was coaching for his job.

I think he's aware.
