>spoke on need for pass rush, need to get after QB, need straight rush, not just rely on blitzes
>nobody cares about your stars now, now you have to do the work
>asked about MSU, always flattering but as we build, there’s going to be interest in all our coaches, for example, just lost Brumbaugh, focused on task at hand
>we are doing something right, a lot of the assistants have been approached, that’s part of the deal, fought to retain several
>talked about QB battle. Signed Lewis, early enrollee, feels good about Lyle and Stenstrom, feels good about all 3 competing, looking forward to see how that works out
>method to picking assistants - find coaches high integrity, high expectations, want to be at CU, feel good about the current staff
>about Boulder weather, they’re mild here compared to Cleveland, loves the winter here, 300+ days of sunshine, destination place
