I'm late to the party on this and probably biased due to being someone who doesn't hate the media. I also will give DM the benefit of the doubt and assume he said it in passing and didn't expect to create a stuff storm.
 
But I do think it's funny that coaches are always bemoaning the Internet since:
A) it isn't going away
B) it helps generate significant interest in the program and gives fans a forum to discuss the program. those are two pretty good things.
C) college is full of distractions -- maybe we should get rid of girls on campuses too.
 
Listen, I'm sure we're reading more into this than we should and I'm fine with DM not appreciating the media. It's fine. But it really is ridiculous to assume everyone isn't dealing with the same issues. Those folks arguing that it's harder at SU b/c of a smaller margin for error? What about the far more intense scrutiny at ND? What about the fact that in the SEC or Big 10 you aren't likely to get 5 years to build your program and the fans are all over you in year 1?
 
It's a fact of life. All schools deal with it.
