I watched it, good interview. Loved hearing Kirk talk about getting earholed. I remember seeing stars when that happened to me.

Big time interview, here.

Captain Kirk truly a gifted and thoughtful navigator.

Thoughts from KF:
- alluded to attrition/pandemic dynamic at o-line a few years ago. And how the rebuild required a lot of patience.
- rather than valuing creativity, KF stresses mastering the basics and fundamentals
- guard against bitching and boredom
- alluded to the value of letting his staff do their jobs.

Thoughts from Aaron Taylor:
- why have so many, to their own detriment, gotten away from the basics of blocking, tackling, and moving people off their spots?
- stresses mastering the basics and fundamentals.

Folks, we are blessed to have had this man

Thanks for posting, '85

At the end of one of our practices my senior year in HS we were just messing around and so I wanted to jump over from my inside LB position to the offense and lineup as the fullback for a play. The play was a simple handoff to the tailback right through the 2 hole, and I was to lead block. As we snapped the ball the other inside LB, who was 6'3 235 and the hardest hitter on the team, stepped up into that hole as I ran up to lead block. To this day I don't remember anything about the actual hit. Didn't see stars, don't remember feeling anything, nothing. I just remember opening my eyes and I was on my back 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage in the offensive backfield. Lol.

Great interview w KF. You can tell those two really like and respect one another.

Taylor played at Notre Dame and he like KF had Joe Moore as a mentor. He's been a big supporter of the Joe Moore award.
