Vandy's Robbie Caldwell At Least Wins Media

It was the start of football this week. The SEC hosted Media Day(s), where the head coaches speak, rivalries intensify, and legends are born.
Last year Tennessee's Lane Kiffin and Florida's Urban Myer got into a below the belt sword fight. This year, Robbie Caldwell, the first year head coach at Vanderbilt, spoke and received rave reviews. With that DEEP Southern Twang that leaves you on the edge of your seat waiting for a "Well, Hot Dog" - style of speech, Caldwell talked about all things open and honestly. He gave some great stories and apparently great fodder for the press. Here are some of the things National Media members had to say about Caldwell afterwards:

Brad Locke, NE Miss. Daily Journal:

Caldwell, on his anonymity: “Last night I was opening a door for people, they gave me a tip.” #sec Dude is killin’ it.


Caldwell: “I speak from the heart, and it gets me in trouble sometimes. I am what I am and can’t change, and won’t change.” Please don’t.


Says @SEC_Chuck, “Sadly, we are out of time.” Applause as Caldwell exits. #sec 

Pat Forde, ESPN:

Caldwell volunteers that he grew up in broken home. Talking about pouring concrete, pipefitting, working a turkey farm. May get standing O.


Forget the standing O. Caldwell might get a group hug from the hacks. Fabulously unguarded and Deep South funny.


First time I’ve ever said this: Steve Spurrier will be a letdown at the mike. He has the task of following the great Robbie Caldwell.
