They chose him due to his astronomical ratings in Alabama.
I think that's the other issue for both fanbases in the SEC and outside of the SEC. My perception of him is that he's the mouthpiece of Alabama football and lacks the ability to be as interested in other programs as he is in #1 Alabama and #2 Auburn.
He's essentially a local personality with local interests being put into the position of being nationally distributed. If the SEC is to expand their brand as the #1 product in college football that's not what you should want in a highly distributed "SEC" media program.

This.
However, his representation is Bama#1 and then after 20 miles distance #2 Auburn, then a few miles after that everybody else. Finebaum literally is like radio version of Jerry Springer. He knows he will get the best performance radio out of the Mullet Nation. However, if he ever pandered a little to the ACC and stirred up the Noles and Clemson folks, he'd get some gomers out of that crowd too.
