I really like what I'm hearing from Kendall Briles out of spring practice. He just comes across as someone who knows what he's doing, which isn't terribly common around here.
A glimmer of hope for men's sports

I agree, I was very impressed by what I heard during his presser, gives me a sense of optimism for the season. He cracked me up with that look and smile in response to Phil's strange question, lol
I too really liked the "You freaking Idiot" look he gave him, you have to admit, it was a STUPID question!!
I don't recall that so much.
Muschamp did know football inside and out though. Just not a good head coach.
No one knew he wasn't a good head coach at his early pressers. I recall lots of love for his "tough, hard nosed" persona and excitement over his supposed recruiting talent.
My point is, I will wait for what I see on the field in real games against real opponents before I decide on Briles. All Spring practice press conferences are upbeat. I can't ever recall any coach in Spring saying "Yeah, we really don't look too good out there. Maybe we can teach them something in time for the first game in the Fall".
Well, sure, but you can tell from listening to Briles that he understands offense.
That alone puts him leaps ahead of where we were last year at this time.
I liked hearing him talk about his expectations for the OL as well. I think it'll make a huge difference to have an OC and OL coach have worked well together in the past. When the OL coach knows the OC coach's scheme like it's his own, that's a big key.
Everyone has their strengths and weknesses. It's critical for an employer to be able to determine which ones an employee has and use them efficiently.
April and August are the top months for Gamecock football.
It’s not winning. It’s simply acknowledging that our offensive coordinator actually knows what he’s doing.
He was my #1 choice for OC out of the names we heard. Looking forward to seeing some new things on offense. He definitely sounds like he knows his stuff. Hopefully we have enough talent to make his offense successful.
