Every interview will have coach talk but I believe this is the most important thing people should know, especially with freshmen:


"...offensive line is a developmental position so when you sign a scholarship to play offensive line in the SEC and you weigh 260 pounds, it’s probably going to take you three years before you can actually play. A lot of these guys are in their third year or starting their fourth and they are big enough now to be effective I think.”

Freak is freakishly awesome! Love the printed script approach. Based on direct interaction with them, I know we have Deaf fans. So printed scripts are sure to be appreciated by them.

In the practice report they mentioned we were short on offensive lineman, even with walk-ons.

Pruitt seems to be more relaxed on the mic this year. I didn't hear too many A'ights. hah

Thats a sweet hoodie he has.

Yeah he seems way more comfortable.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Yeah he seems way more comfortable.

I agree - more relaxed. I guess a lot less stress with players that look like they can play, more dialed in staff, etc.. Eyebrow discipline seems manageable at this point.

I’d say just more settled in due to the fact he’s been here over a year now instead of a few months and isn’t implementing a whole new system. Less stuff to worry in regards to the little things.

Yeah, little things like players who can cut the mustard.

Thanks for the link @Freak!
Very good read. (At work can't watch a video) I think the last paragraph tells a lot about why he hired Chaney. Being a former DC, he knows the guys that give teams the most trouble.

That is a nice one, but $85 to get it.
