Didn’t watch but guess it’s the same as all the other games. Just saying.

I think like two-thirds of it is coach speak but the other stuff in there is usually really, really good stuff. If you ask him decent questions he usually gives pretty good answers. It's the stock, surface level stuff that drives him nuts and he will talk around. Which unfortunately is a lot of what we get on Tuesdays because it is the only Time the TV guys are around. It isn't their fault. Their audience isn't looking for in-depth answers to the SLB position or burning redshirts. But you guys are on this site because you are diehards, want/expect more out of it than the average 10 o'clock news viewer.

But I agree with @Aclone. When Campbell does say good stuff, it's usually really interesting.

One fun little tidbit was his answer about Charlie Kolar. "Charlie thinks he is smarter than he is!" Campbell's personal relationships and ability to joke around, even trash talk with players seems really special. I would love for @ChrisMWilliams to explore this, maybe in an off-season interview.

This is good insight.
