George Presser

Coach George had his presser today.  Here are a few things...


In the news portion, he says Drew Pyne is getting better but is unknown for this week.  Note:  there was a 0% chance he was going to give a definitive statement on his status either way.

He points out that coming into the Toledo game, Anderson had thrown only 5 passes.  What you are seeing is what you would expect from a young QB.

Also, he referred to our offense as "putrid."  Twice.  Said the coaches have to figure out how to move the ball with what they have.  Reminds me of this scene in Apollo 13. 


 Discussed 2 homespun phrases.

One was "victory is a perfume that remove a lot of stink" in reference to the UT game.

The other was "Chop wood and carry water."  It comes from this book about a young man chasing his lifelong dream of being a Sumarai.

Great references! It's reassuring that Coach knows exactly what the issues are and can see them like everyone else. I think the extent to which they can be fixed, or at least improved, over the next 5 games will determine if some of the people tasked with fixing them will be in the building next year.

I'd be very surprised if there were changes to the staff.

He gave an underperforming OC two years at Tennessee State before hiring Patridge, so that may be the case.
