I love the constructive criticism followed by a compliment.
These guys will turn this place around. Like Coach Az said, That's coachable.
Thank's Wes.

Don't forget that our O-line is projected as a beastly bunch so when the D-line in some of the video's that are out don't get off the blocks maybe that is not as much how weak we are on D as how strong we are on O. just sayin. Wow it is great to be in football mode again!

Like the way the coaches don't throw the players under the bus, but will teach them to get better as time goes on.

Today's athlete doesn't relate to the psycho antics of yesteryear's coaches'. I love what this staff is doing with teaching the hands on approach that instructs on a one to one basis..This is very pleasing to see so early in CBJs' coaching career. The future is looking very bright Orange.

What's cool is as you read the reaction from all the coaches they sound like one voice.
