Couple of negatives from the presser/interviews:
1. Talks about bringing back former players into the fold. Feels like he doesn't really understand that's been done /talked about a ton and then something happens to push them away again. How many times can they be yoyo'd around? Seems like most would be too hard by now?
2. It sounded like he wasn't prepared for the job and was overwhelmed by everything he needs to do from putting together a staff, to talking to current players, to recruiting, and getting back to people who have reached out to him.
Some positives:
1. His attitude towards NIL, making it work for him and saving time in the recruiting process. I really really liked how he said he is a people person and will enjoy the process. That's huge.
2. He seems knowledgeable and up to date with health/conditioning/training and player development. He started needing out talking about vo2 max and shit. Hopefully he brings some cool conditioning/training approaches to the program that can attract players. Plus he seems to enjoy being out there working as hard as the players.
Seems knowledgeable and more mature from his coaching experiences.
