Gary Danielson analysis has fans pushing mute button during broadcast of Georgia at Tennessee
Gary Danielson sent several fans to the mute button during the CBS broadcast of Georgia at Tennessee on Saturday.
This is Danielson’s final “SEC on CBS” game in Neyland Stadium, as CBS will broadcast the Iron Bowl next week, the SEC Championship Game, and then the Army-Navy game to close the season. Surprisingly, at least a couple fans forgot that Danielson was on the call on Saturday until the game began.
Danielson and his broadcast partners Brad Nessler and Jenny Dell will call Big Ten games next season, and SEC fans are already looking ahead to a new marquee broadcast crew for the big late afternoon games.
Danielson is well aware of the criticism, but believes it comes with the territory since college football fans have strong opinions.
“I do know it’s there. I’m aware of it. I don’t dwell on it,” Danielson told SDS this past summer. “I don’t dwell on it not because I don’t care what the fans think. It’s actually almost the opposite. I don’t want to dwell on it because I don’t want it to affect how I call the game.
Here’s a sample of the reaction:
Praying to God this is the last time I have to listen to Gary Danielson

Georgia/Tennessee is on TV but I have zero interest in listening to Gary Danielson. Thank God for the mute button. #PeaceAndQuiet #DontCareWhoWIns

Gary Danielson has said “Georgia” twice when talking about the Vols. Also neglected to notice how Pierce drastically affected that QB fumbled exchange. Needs to sharpen up. He is too aware of Georgia’s dominance, lol.

If watching us struggle wasn’t bad enough, we have to watch it to the tune of Gary Danielson drooling over everything about Georgia for the entirety of the drive. He literally didn’t STOP talking about it for more than two seconds.

Listening to Dolly Parton is much better than listening to Gary Danielson tbh. #UGAvsTENN

At the very least both Georgia and Tennessee can agree Gary Danielson needs to be banned from all broadcasts. @SEConCBS

Gary Danielson is already in shambles.

Gary Danielson can’t call Big 10 football soon enough.

So today I will be thankful that today I will ever have to listen to Gary Danielson’s dumb ass ever utter words again. ???????

Tennessee online sports betting officially launched on November 1, 2020, and many of the largest sportsbooks are live and operating in the volunteer state. Tennessee is only one of a handful of SEC football states with legalized sports betting.
The best part of SEC leaving CBS is I don’t have to see Farner write this same story every week.
Agreed, but I’m sure he’ll just change the name to whoever the new guy is and keep his copy/paste career churning along.
Farner is as obsessed with Gary Danielson as Finebaum is with Jim Harbaugh. Must be a jealousy thing.
I think we ALL can agree on Gary Danielson as incompetent.
Go Dawgs! Vols, go beat Vandy and represent the SEC in a bowl.
I don’t agree.
Lmao. Vols will represent. Great thing about being from Tennessee is we get to piss in your (GA) drinking water every day. I see the Tide rolling your ass in 2 weeks.
This is how bad it has gotten in Tenn. Their fans are pulling for Bama. And they don’t know geography. If you piss in the Tenn River, it ends up in the Gulf of Mexico, not Georgia.
We almost made it the entire season without Keith Farner ripping on Gary Danielson. It’s Farner’s obsession. I think maybe Mrs Farner has a crush on him or something.
I have always thought Danielson was irritating and a Bama lover. But not a bad analyst. This year he has been far more likeable imo. I actually found myself laughing at his self deprecating jokes about his pro career.
Ill admit it, I’ll miss CBS. They were a big part of the reason the SEC brand is so huge mnow. And Verne was the best.
And I’ll miss the intro music,too
I don’t dwell on it not because I don’t care what the Gary Danielson thinks. It’s actually almost the opposite.
Only fan base that likes Danielson is Bama. Danielson has a man crush on Saban pure and simple. Nessler is just as bad because he gets the teams confused and calls the players the wrong names. So it’s pick your poison. One always puts the other team down and the other calls the game like he has dementia.
Vol fans…Consider this. If your orange Vols were winning you’d love any announcer who extolled the virtue of the guys wearing orange. It’s about the game not the announcing team. Frankly we Tide fans could care less who is announcing as long as we win & we do win a lot of games.
Roll Tide !
There were several dumb comments Garry made that I immediately was like that’s a clown take thanks for the input Garry lol. The Dawgs were well ahead at that point and I think that’s when I really started to tune him out because he was just saying off the wall nonsense
Can’t stand Gary Danielson – good riddance! Go Vols!
