Walking up to Darrin Chiaverini after Colorado’s first practice of fall camp on Thursday morning, I can’t help but wonder whether his face-to-face personality will mimic what we, as media members and social media users, see from him on digital platforms.
I can’t help but wonder whether or not he’ll come off as so many coaches—hell, like so many of us all—do when greeted in person, as corny or overdone. Online, we’re allowed a certain privilege of privacy and separation from our everyday selves. Standing in front of me, he’d be nothing more than himself, however that would turn out to be.
