Why do players, coaches and personnel give so much info away to media days?

I have been watching the Auburn and FSU BCS Media Days. I am amazed at how much information each team gives to the media in regards to how they are going to execute their gameplans.

Why do teams do this?

Why would a coach tell the opposing team their strengths and weaknesses?

Why would players explain what their gameplan is going to be for the game?

If I am the coach I would make damned sure that I or any player or member of my coaching staff does not reveal a damn thing to the media and opposing team.

I am sitting here watching this shite and the amount of information that these people are spitting out is astounding.

watched the whole thing and didn't hear any details about game plans. I took from it that Jimbo did 3 or 4 lines of coke before the presser the way he was talking so fast though.

In the past, media coverage consisted of a couple of old dudes who chained smoked in a room for 20 minutes with coach. They then pounded out a few lines on a typewriter.


Now, 24/7 sports channels, twitter, and sites like the one we are on have changed the nature of media coverage.

You genuinely think that anything revealed during media days is something the opposing coaching staff hasn't uncovered with even a cursory glance through game footage?

It's not like either coach passed out copies of the game plan to all the media members or named the first 20 or so plays they were going to run.
