Overall a good press conference - little awkward at the beginning, but when we got down to the meat and potatoes, it’s what we needed to hear.
1. His comments about evaluating talent were on point. You have to be able to find those kids and not rely on 4-5 star recruits. Development is key and he honed in on that big time.
2. While he didn’t give a straight answer about an oc, I appreciated his response because it sounded like he would do what’s best for the team based on the situation… not stick to one way of doing things just because that’s how he’s always done it.
3. Also mentioned a designated special teams coach (Lower offensive or defensive level coach). This is huge considering how terrible we’ve been in that aspect of the game.
4. He knows this area. He made that clear. That will be big for us when it comes to local/regional recruiting.
5. His experience is EXTENSIVE. I was impressed when he talked it all out - that will bring a perspective we haven’t had in a LONG time (decades?).
6. He seems like the tough but fair coach. In my pinion those are the best kind. Will stick up for his kids but he’s going to make them earn their time. Classic good football coach.
If I left anything out feel free to add.
I’m excited!
