While this is true, CMR is the one who puts this out for public consumption, first and foremost

Well, now, that's just silly. He has mentioned it in passing, but has never made a huge deal over it. The media does, but he does not. He also allows his wife to fix the players Gatorade on the sidelines and has mentioned that. Does that make her "fair game", too?

especially when you see him shrug off huge losses in the last ten years

Because he does not do a public meltdown he shrugs them off? That's dumb, too. Sorry, but it is. Paterno never melted publicly. I don't remember Bear Bryant, either. LOT'S of coaches look cool and calm and save meltdowns for privacy. It's called class and maturity. There is very little more embarrassing than to see a 50-60 year old man jumping up and down and pitching a temper tantrum because he got a bad call from an official.

particularly when the subtext of his entire M.O. is that there are more important things in life than football.

I hate to tell you this, but there is.

This is despite the fact that he is paid $11k+ PER MOTHERfrickING Day to make football and winning games his priority.

No they don't. They pay him to coach and win football games. He is one of the most successful coaches in the country. He is paid a middle of the pack SEC coaches salary.
