[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 941681, member: 959"] [B]Opening Statement:[/B] Coach opens up with some comments on the Nashville school shooting and shows some real authenticity. This man is the tonic our collective fanbase needs. Dude is invested in the program but more than that has a sense of who he is, what he wants to be and accepts the responsibility of leadership. Goes into the Leo situation, says likely is out all year (not surprising) suggested he told him it's some good news in that he can go get a masters now on GT's dime. 4 minutes in there was some noise offscreen with the guys getting louder and louder, and he screamed "Quiet Down" and you got some crickets moments. Mentioned we had some rust to knock off, working on blocks/getting off blocks; Making tackles and making dudes miss; but that at the end of the day it's less about the scheme the guys are in and more about them taking the toughness approach of doing what you need to do when it counts. Hit your dude, make your tackle. Pleased with the response from the guys in wanting to get better, one day at a time. [B]Goes into Questions: Q1) [/B]Confirmed we will be looking to develop who is on the roster. He is open to looking at the portal to replace WR Depth, but is pleased with what we have and who is there right now. Gave Buster some love on his ability to get guys open in practice so far. [B]Q2) [/B]Spoke to chemistry developing within the staff, suggested he wants conflict and tension where appropriate because it means you have alphas and type a coaches. He believes in steel sharpening steel, and guys challenging thesis points of a plan and weighing the benefits but then being lock step once the doors open and you move out to execute. [B]Q3)[/B] Confirmed he doesn't expect Leo to be back this season, suggested he would be here. [B]Q4) [/B]Said the biggest surprise for him so far as a New HC, is seeing the unexpected issues come and then fix them. He knew it would be a process where prioritizing issues would be important, but he is working on being efficient and having the staff face the issues and continue to grow and be efficient as well. [B]Q5)[/B] Pleased with the play from our newest HS Class. [B]Q6) [/B]Said he told Mike Flynn he planned to open by addressing the Nashville topic, mentions his mom, his wife and his daughter are the most important thing to him [B] Q7) [/B]Most focused on the edges of plays says we need to continue to learn how to make the calls from the middle get out clearly to the edges [B]Q8)[/B] Said Special Teams is a major focus; first meeting everyday is special teams and they do the first walk through, said it is a HUGE focus for us this season [B]Q9) [/B]Said he will play the best 11 on Special Teams, he does not expect ST to be a "down off"; unless you're the starting QB he expects the starters to be on STs as well.
