GA 1280 Interview

AgMac · Post by **AgMac** » October 21st, 2019, 7:13 pm

Just listened to GA's interview with DJ and PK. I listened on the app so I don't have a link.

He seems VERY aware that offense is not clicking. I mean, we all know he is aware. Of course. But still gave me a bit of comfort to hear him acknowledge it.

Man, I hope we can figure something out. Defense seems to be coming together nicely.

Our D will get run off the field against AF if we can't score...stating the obvious. Huge concern going into this game though.

Compare this to Wells, who would often justify bad play calling or argue that a problem wasn’t a problem. Does anyone remember him berating a fan at a luncheon when bubble screens were brought up, and then he ran through bubble screens that worked during a coaches film study?

Did Gary actually get to talk X's and O's or were Prick and the Douche up to their typical hilarious shenanigans and too busy laughing over each other to get out questions? I just can't listen to another minute of those two hacks.

I thought they asked good questions, but it was apparent they hadn’t watched any bit of the game at all. DJ thought the 15 out of 17 offensive possessions under two minutes was a result of scoring quickly every time. It was apparent the offensive struggles were a surprise to them.

So a show producer read the forum and passed DJ the Stat to talk about. Good stuff.

Every interview he does lately he has eluded to the fact that the uptempo spread offense is bad in the red zone, bad for the defense, bad in poor weather,.......

I get the feeling Gary is going to scrap the up tempo and spread offense next year. Not sure how I feel about that. Watching last year’s team was the most entertaining brand of football I’ve seen in a long. I admit we aren’t clicking yet this year though.

Plenty of teams have success with those concepts. This team is just struggling to execute. With that being said if the head coach and his staff aren’t 100% behind the offensive plan then they should start making changes now.

Can we bring back Baldwin and the bubble screen offense. Please.

IIRC, it was actually GA that brought up that stat. Another sign that he is really not happy with the offense.

But yes, then DJ asked if it mattered having quick drives that end in scores, proving he did not pay any attention at all to the game. GA said that would be great, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

I obviously don't listen to this show regularly but I listen to every one of the interviews with GA. Are they always this nonchalant with their guests? It almost sounds like they couldn't care less if they were interviewing coach A and it honestly sounds like coach A doesn't give a rip about being on their show.

Maybe he is just tired of the media stuff after all these years (sort of how Stew became) but he doesn't sound very enthused or energized to talk USU football with them. The way they sort of abruptly end their interviews and the way GA replies with an almost tired sounding "thanks guys, go Aggies" makes it feel like he's not very excited to be in his position or he is just fed up with interviews.

I think what he really wanted to say was, "If we could f$@#$%^ get it in the endzone"

Just listened to today's interview with Hans and Scotty. Its like night and day the difference in how he interacts with them as opposed to yesterday. Coach A is much more open with Scotty and really seems to enjoy talking with them. Was a great listen.

One of the things I like about Coach A is that he gets that we need the media and represents for USU really well. Not sure if my memory is accurate or its just a proximity thing, but it felt like we lost a little bit of that with Coach Wells. I think Gary is truly trying to build a sustainable program, rather than just win games.

I thought he sounded fine in both, but the rapport with Scotty and Hans is definitely on a different level from the two tools from the morning.

I don't know how anyone can handle an interview with DJ and PK. They are clowns. You can hear them drooling and mouth-breathing.

I’ll be honest. That’s the way I’ve felt just about any time I’ve heard Gary speak since coming back. Almost like he’s just going through the motions and using a bunch of coach speak and cliches. When I’ve mentioned that before I’ve been batted down but that’s honestly how I feel. Hopefully he just is tired of speaking and media events but it is a bit of a concern on my part. (Others around me personally don’t feel that way so it’s entirely possible that it’s just me.)

I agree, yet I don't see any lack of work ethic or actual coaching effort on his part (from a distance, granted). Maybe he is just sick and tired of talking to the media. I bet it gets old.

That’s my thought too. I think after years of answering dumb questions and having to repeat the same thing over and over again it gets tiresome. Which is why many guys get short with the media later in their careers.
