I been noticing quite a lot of new and even established HC not letting on who their starters are for the first game.

 

I also read Kirby Smart's presser and you can see where DL gets his style from.

Our own (once) Chip Kelly was oft criticized for his non-disclosure of just about everything.  Seems his style has caught on near everywhere.

I wouldn't think he is fretting.  He knows Bo and he knows that behind Bo there's two underclassmen w/o much real-game experience.  On the other hand, he's loaded with experienced talent - esp at QB.  

Yeah, Kirby plays it really close to the vest on just about everything. 

 

For those in the medical field there's a Minimum Necessary Standard as a part of HIPAA, which basically dictates the information shared must be at the minimum necessary to complete the task at hand.  That's also how Kirby runs his team's relationship with the media, and I expect CDL will follow suit with his mentor's practices in that regard.

Kirby keeps everything he can as secretive as possible. Seems excessive at times, but who am I to second guess especially after last year. If Lanning adopts that style you will not be getting much info before the season kicks. He also doesn't allow coaches to talk to the media during the season, and doesn't allow freshman to talk to media at all. It's interesting, but it seems to work.
