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.
Just finished listening to the interview. What a giant pile of garbage, non-answers.
It’s time to move on from Stoops.

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.
Stoops is cooked he's only pretending to give a shit.
Insane we still have him but that's on Mitch, just like everything else we've dealt with lately.
Mitch has a Forrest Gump IQ you can see it in his damn face. Really look at him before you challenge me on this.

He basically checked out last year, if you couldn’t see it then you’re one of the homers who still supported Joker until the very end. I personally don’t think he will recover, it’s hard to reestablish yourself after the troops pick up on your empathy but maybe there’s a modicum of hope with the roster turnover. I’m gonna just take the wait and see approach, we either look competitive this year or I don’t think he’ll be back in 2026.
Didn’t Forrest Gump play for Alabama, receive a war medal, beat the Chinese in ping pong, start a multi million dollar business, and pull Robin Wright Penn?
Kind of like MB saved the SEC’s face by getting Bama in over FSU. Got Cal to boogy without paying a dime saving multi millions in salary and golden parachute retirement. Made the best combo of hires in college sports in Brooks and Pope. We could very well be on the path to having men and women make noise late in playoffs in the not so distant future.
Mitch is not stupid by any stretch, but he cant develop a single head coach contract that has not bitten us in the ass.
Tell us one he didn't mess up? Don't say Cal, because if Cal were more bright we would still owe him 30+ million.
