Charles Fischer Administrator No. 3 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The 24/7 article was much better, and I learned a little. You can hear his enthusiasm for the program and the future through the text of the article! Great that he toured the Jacqua Center, and saw Hayward Field, as this is so important in recruiting. Something I forgot, is that often OCs and DCs are looking to get "ANY" head coaching job that comes along. Sure you could coach at Vanderbilt or WSU, but how hard is it going to be to recruit and build? Chances are you will be another picture on the wall of "former coaches." Meanwhile he comes to a team that had TEN WINS this last year, and THAT is a nice situation to walk into. (Especially considering all the upside on both offense and defense!) It is fun to be bubbly and optimistic again! Let's Go Get Those Dawgs! 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck1984 No. 4 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Nice of him to take questions, but someone please tell the journalists to ask better questions. All we need to know is that he plans to beat his old team and the rest of the PAC! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 6 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I love how he stated how enthusiastic the team was for him to finish what he started by staying and winning the championship with UGA. After watching their own coach mail it in towards the end of the season then all together bail on them in a blink, this was a great first step towards building trust. He spoke repeatedly about talk only having meaning through action. I can see how he gets his guys to run through walls for him. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Ducker1 No. 7 Share Posted January 14, 2022 If I was there I would ask him--"on a scale of 1 to 10 where do you put the Ducks offensive and defensive lines" But, maybe I wouldn't like the answer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCDuckfan No. 9 Share Posted January 14, 2022 You can see his excitement and appreciation for this opportunity in the video. Such a welcome change from the previous guy that had an incredible ability to show zero passion or emotion except after the game at Ohio St. I'll be happy if I never hear another press conference begin with "Obviously we are pleased with..." after a win or "Obviously we are disappointed with...." after a loss. It always felt like the old coach had 2 scripts, one for winning and one for losing and never really bought into being a Duck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utki No. 10 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Quote Guess I am in the minority when I don't care about coach speak things or "gosh I really love it here" stuff. Just don't be a horrible person and have us play an exciting brand of football. I don't need a daddy figure to glorify as the best human on earth like so many football fans seem to want in their head coaches. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ducks’ last coach promised an explosive offense but, instead, graced us with one of the least explosive offenses we’ve seen in Eugene in the last 20 years. What can you tell us about your plans for the offense, and do you intend to keep those promises?” THAT is the perfect question that I am going to copy and see what I can do with.... 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refreshing and the rules are like the Golden Rule if you do them then your enjoying life. I do believe this guy is the real deal. So this team has talent is going to keep on getting more talent close to the 3rd and this team should still be the most talented team in the Pac 12. So we hopefully are on the fast track to a NATTY.

Anybody whose ever been on the other side of the fence knows you don’t get much juice from an orange you just stepped on. Like it or not, it’s a relationship between writer and coach that requires trust. While a HC has to be the public face that ooze sunshine from time to time, it’s that trust that gets the real comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
