I could have used at least 100 more, "yeah you know"'s... but it was ok.
Coach Rogers Introductory Press Conference
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Isn’t that going to be heavily influenced by who is hired for OC? I prefer for the HC with a defensive background to not decide how the offense is going to look. Hire the right guy and let them run their offense.
The jab about no personality seems like BS. He joked around, was serious with questions but did make things light hearted when not making a direct response.
Yes, he planned to do that.
That doesn't cement someone anywhere.
Anyone can be as loyal as their options.
I just legit lol’d and I’m not even sure what that means
About half way through that presser I noticed a fresh reset, relaxed but intense tone. After he got through the emotional talk about his start.
It's as if a switch got thrown and he was in coach mode.
Then he slammed the door on more questions as he knows exactly what to do now ... and how difficult it's going to be.
I'm blown away impressed!

In order for a coach to leave, other opportunities have to come open and our coach has to be good enough to want to be hired. There are lots of big time programs who have made hires this off season. I'm not saying it's impossible he'll ever leave for another opportunity but if all the other major programs are clicking, then there's not really going to be an opportunity to leave.
I would go so far as to say that MC's coaching ability was pretty average most of the time and most of his success here was due to being above average at exploiting a niche in player evaluation.
This ability is very much muted at a place like PSU, where finding pieces is never the problem. Finishing off games to achieve a B1G championship or win in the CFP is the skill needed most in Happy Valley. I can't say yet how that will go.
Hopefully CJR can be as good at evaluating while raising the floor on coaching a little bit. I think he's a good hire.
What attitude plays well when you are unsuccessful?

Sounds a like a football version of TJ's first team. Just assembled a collection of guys who fit his attitude and what he wanted to do so well that it worked.
I know the roster will most likely be overhauled but if we can get a DL to actually get pressure in the future, that will be exciting for me
Agree. You can be firmly entrenched at a place and still have a better option come along a week later. Yes, it will be used against you by those left behind, but it’s still a career just like any other profession. We need to stop treating like it is anything else.
Could be a combo of an entirely new roster playing its first season together....and there's probably going to be growing pains next season but if we can get an established roster with some experience in the coming years, there could be some promise
I would have loved Johnny Orr even if he had back-to-back 2 win seasons.
But obviously he was an outlier.
I cringe to say this. I’m guessing a little bit of what Iowas does (just threw up in my mouth since I had to say them). Run heavy, play action but more out of the spread.
He probably mentioned it at some point and I missed it, but where is his wife's family from? He mentioned his kids being able to grow up with their cousins a couple of hours away.
I love and appreciate what Heacock did for us at ISU, but I can't tell you how excited I was to hear the words "4 man front" and "agressive and attacking" on defense.
Generally you hire an OC that is aligned with your vision for the offense. You don’t hire a run and shoot style OC if you want to power I it.
