I'm pretty sure he never said they never use it period. People made a much bigger deal about it than it actually warranted, especially since it's how he's always done things here.
yeah most everyone miss understand coach cal and fire away with it.
Film session, has been mentioned by him every year...He has said he creates a highlight for players. I don't think this is any different from any other years, except i think he did it more private for each player. Probably extra "i'm going to bench your ass from now on" comment.
Coach Cal did say he doesn't over burden players with film session before the game. But he does provide one or two points to do during the game. Which is based off film session from the coaching staff.
That's why he goes APE sometimes when something doesn't happen, because i'm guessing it's that ONE thing coach cal said to the group NOT to do.
