Moorhead press conference

[MarkDallas]

I didn't see this discussed. Moorhead's press conference yesterday contained some answers regarding questions discussed here.

It sounds like Aeris wasn't giving full effort in practice last week. Coach indicated that playing time will be based on practice week to week.

Also the helmet stickers, completion percentage, etc.

Good grief this man is just what this program needed. He is straight forward, does not overstate things. Handles questions from the press better than most.

We are very lucky.

I had my doubts about Cohen as an AD but it certainly seems like he absolutely nailed one of the only two hires that actually matters for an AD.

Pretty cool to have scout team POTW and student athletes of the week. And yeah, he's an impressive guy.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Very refreshing. He needs to teach a clinic on this to other coaches (looking at you Merlin, Saban, and Belichek).

Which is the other of the two, to you?

To me, and to about 95% of the country, it's the men's basketball head coach.

Assistant TO the head football coach.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

If this is how he talks to players, gotta believe they love this guy. unlike 90% of coaches out there, it wasn't one long string of meaningless cliches. Treated the media like adults engaged in a conversation.

So, no "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT INJURIES!" from JoMo?

Danny sure was talking about injuries in the Kentucky postgame presser. So weird.

 

[Shmuley]

2 games in and I already feel like I’m really gonna miss this guy.

 

[Walter White.sixpack]

His explanation (question is at 21:30 https://youtu.be/dTSSDTYolZ8?t=21m30s) of what he and Abram talked about after the targeting call lets me know what kind of player's coach he is.

 

[FQDawg]

I was really struck by the fact that it looked like Abram gave him a hug before he ran off the field. I thought it was a great moment.

I liked the “if we threw a Hail Mary and caught it we wouldn’t be talking about all this stuff right now.......but we would still have the same problems”

Hey Dean, you didn’t throw a Hail Mary and you lost to Kentucky, again! And you have a **** ton of problems to deal with. Never underestimate his ability to deflect

A sign of respect for your audience.

I don't remember where I heard or read this so I don't recall the stipulations that would make the statement true but it was something to the effect that "Dirwood was the first SEC coach to lose twice as a double digit or maybe two TD favorite."

Wet and Dry Blanket in one post. Impressive, Rabbi.

I can't disagree with that. However, do you think given his background & our fanbase that Head Baseball Coach might trump Basketball, or tie, or come close to a 3rd requirement?

Cultivating a garden of excuses... Amazing what pressure can do to someone. Sometimes it aids in the formation of a diamond and other times it causes cracks and crumbling. Donny will soon crack.

 

[FQDawg]

I don’t think any of that changes anything. Our fan base may put an outsized importance on baseball and Cohen could actually be an immortal Babe Ruth in disguise but it doesn’t actually change the fact that baseball is irrelevant from a national perspective.

 

[RocketDawg]

What about when Saban lost to Freeze two years in a row? Surely Alabama was a double-digit favorite in both games.

I actually liked what Dan said here. He was admitting that the team has issues. And the issues are real whether they lost that game like they did or were to have a miracle win somehow with a last second play. So as pissed as all UF fans are, they should still be pissed even if they'd have won. I don't know that it's excuses either. He wasn't left with a great roster.

I really hope he loves it here and this is his kind of place, because other schools are going to come after him with relentless effort and strain.

"He's day to day with an upper body." I liked this quote.

Without a doubt this dude can run circles around Mullen when it comes to football knowledge and that ain't an easy thing to do.
