Stoops KSR interview
- Thread starter Basil Cat
- Start date
States Eddie Gran is our GM. Just not in title , handles a lot of the fundraising and day to day ops. Matt asking about clock manager, Stoops states he does have someone telling him in his ear on game day. States he goes by analytics.
Feed cut off couple times. Closed saying he hates an a**kicking. Said staff was in the office Sunday after Louisville game and had been working hard ever since. Stated it had to start with re-building the roster. Now it’s about demanding excellence and hard work.
Talk is great but results are all that matters.
I love Eddie Gran, probably more than any poster, but this does not seem like a role where he is a good fit. They need a data/technology driven person to pull it off.
Yeah, I struggled with that part too. And I'm with you on Eddie. He's one of my favorites. I guess I just hope he's got a bunch of nerds that report to him, but call me skeptical. Btw, that's not Eddie's fault. When I listen to Stoops talk, I just hear a hard-headed guy that's trying not to sound hard-headed. He's re-worked the roster. But our QBs are Calzeda and Boley. I can't imagine that being much better than last year. Maybe, maybe not. Sheesh, our line was just so bad. Idk. Is what it is. I think he either wins or he's gone. I honestly think it's that simple. Nobody really seems to be buying what he's selling right now.
Agree. Plus the other side of that role which is raising money. Hes a guy that prefers the woods and the country to the country club. Not anything at all wrong with that, but it isnt what that role needs.
Hope we are wrong.
Lipstick on a pig type interview. If you want to buy in the program is going to change, I guess you liked what you heard. But in reality, it didn’t leave any warm or fuzzy feelings. He stated no one went rogue last year and I thought “my man, you had a player go up to the concession stand during a game you were being blown out in and get a hot dog. How is that not going rogue?”
Felt very Cal-ish type of interview. Even said positions were earned not given.
Yeesh

That I don't get. If you want to still play LV with 9 SEC games, UK's choice. How does another game help?
Without a doubt, the VERY FIRST thought that went in my head when he said that. I'm not sure what I expected him to say, but this wasn't it. Or maybe it was.
I was hoping MJ would ask him about the player at the hot dog line. Oh well;
Yeah Gran is an endearing guy in his way but when he was a staff coach the guys he personally recruited too often turned out to just be warm bodies. Thinking he’s in charge of putting personnel together doesn’t excite me.

Thanks. I hadn't been able to listen to today's show and didn't have time to sit through both hours tonight.
