Signing Day Press Conference

[SpacemanSpiff]

Jumped on for grins and caught the middle of Sanford's portion. Gotta say, I'm impressed. He is night/day more impressive than Chev. Professional, is the word that comes to mind. Interesting to hear him talk about key traits of QBs, and "knowing where to go with the ball" is high on his list. I'm hopeful that he can help Lewis get that part figured out. He also spoke glowingly about Lewis' toughness and said that the QB has to be the toughest player on the team.

It’s signing day? Lol where was the communication from the AD? My email is bone dry

I didn't know if I should laugh or cry when I saw this.

 

[leftybuff]

How many guys with eligibility hit the bricks? 26, 27 ? Yeah, probably would have helped to talk to them after the season.....

Clown show.

 

[LesGrossman]

That seems like an implied admission of being blindsided by the departures.

If he got to the end of year 2 and was disconnected enough to be blindsided like that, it’s not great. It’s worse that his solution to that issue is a check in with his players instead of recruiting for a couple days. That screams lack of connection and proactive work

That has been the word on Sanford. Very engaging and likeable, bottom barrel OC in execution.

 

[Bliff Cranch]

Stunning incompetence

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Wow! A coach that admits this knows he has job security. At least he's honest I guess.

 

[Darth Snow]

I'm just happy he's not completely blind. I just wish he'd thought slightly ahead. It's crazy to me he still thinks that nothing has changed since 2007

 

[patebuff]

That reads as a guy who had been out of the college game for a long time. Ultimately, I guess he has admitted the issue and hopefully found a solution, but a huge yikes as the head coach of a P5 program.

 

[bpc5180]

Holy cow. This guy…

 

[leftybuff]

What he needs is a Director of Player Personnel. Maybe even an assistant to that position.

 

[bpc5180]

Stunning incompetence

STUNNING!!

 

[SewallBeach]

Wow. Part of me respects his ability to call out his mistakes. Most of me wishes he would STFU and learn behind closed doors.

 

[Ruckus]

 

[Heywood]

Well at least he made recruiting a priority right? Right?

 

[Da Lama]

OMFG. That is coaching 101! Post season interviews with EVERY player. Position coaches at the very least. I didn't think I could have less respect for KD, but then there's this. What a fvcking imbecile.

 

[AeroBuff99]

Well that would be an upgrade. If I had my choice between 2 ****ty OC's, I would take the one that is engaging and likeable that can recruit, vs the one that acts like that **** is beneath him. Better players running a ****ty offense will have more success than bad players running a ****ty offense.

 

[Buffnik]

I didn't know if I should laugh or cry when I saw this.

I typically do both when it comes to CUFB news.

 

[married2abuff]

The fact that he even said that publicly shows a severe lack of judgement. Sometimes mistakes learned are better kept to oneself.

Edit: What SewallBeach said.

 

[married2abuff]

I typically do both when it comes to CUFB news.

Oh how painfully true.

 

[BuffWarHog]

Where’s the “holy ****ing ****!” quick emoji

 

[RollTad21]

Here's the full press conference. I'll be honest I skipped ahead and only listened to the new coaches:

 

[RollTad21]

Dp

 

[Duff Man]

Hoooooooly ****.

 

[241Volcanos]

Stunning incompetence

Ya, that’s like the only time it’s acceptable to play favorites and at least check in with top 5-10 players.

 

[Alfred91]

Dude should have had an AD standing there off stage, ready to take him up to his office and ream his ass at the very least.

RG probably didn't say a word.
