Karl Dorrell introductory press conference (on now)

[BuffUp]

admits he learned from past. Most coaches do not do that

 

[dio]

Thank the old coaches for recruiting the incoming class isn't discussing his vision for recruiting

 

[Buffnik]

As skeptical (even angry) as I have become when hearing coachspeak, I actually thought "dream job" resonated as authentic and sincere from Dorrell.

 

[MKBuffs]

I like him, he's genuine. I think if he can put together a staff, he could be really good. The short off season will possibly be tough to get the guys he wants, but I'm liking what I hear so far.

The fact they just built a house in Boulder adds some substance to that statement

 

[onealcd]

I might be remembering wrong but I am pretty sure his brother lives/lived here too (highlands ranch).

Built it before this job was even on his radar*

He built a home here long before he had this job-I believe KD when he makes a comment like that.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

I don't miss hearing Tucker say "umm" every other word, especially listening to this. I'll say that much.

Yeah I was always confused by the people who said Tucker was really well spoken and crushed press conferences. Thought he was fine but mostly stumbled through them as a speaker, like he was constantly searching for the right thing to say.

 

[Buffskier]

I like he met with the Seniors before meeting with the team as a whole. Cool idea.

 

[ahoelsken]

Gotta think he's retaining Chev, Mick, and Hagan for sure.

Saban told him it would be opening.

 

[Duff Man]

The lack of recruiting dialogue is fairly ominous.

He acknowledged the importance and knew our class rank.

It is not his top priority, though, like it was with Tucker and how it was for Hawkins in the beginning. How it was for Embree.

I do believe he cares about it a lot more than MacIntyre based on talking about needing the players and knowing how important a #36 class was this year.

I think it can be a fine line for a new coach. His first priority has got to be winning the current locker room. They want to hear about development & family, being able to win now -- not that recruiting has to get better so we can get better players in here.

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

Ah damn, that is how RG foiled the flight tracker stalking.

Fair enough, I guess

 

[Buffskier]

Well that's why the flight tracker didn't ****ing work... Way off the grid searching!

 

[GoldenSkier]

Hes genuinely in awe hes our coach

 

[KingPants]

I guess I'm not concerned yet about the lack of recruiting talk yet, but if someone asks him a direct question about it, he better not evade it.

 

[Buffnik]

Fair enough, I guess

I'm in "wait and see" based on his staff hires. We'll know his focus by the profile of his hires. Will it be an NFL staff or will he go for guys who have had recruiting success, particularly in the Pac-12 & CU footprints.

 

[BuffUp]

COLORADO = HOME

 

[Bread]

Ah damn, that is how RG foiled the flight tracker stalking.

one of my coworkers bothered me and I had to take my headphones off. What did he say?

Duff, you had me prepared to be watching for that, and now Howell asks, so lets see

 

[Bread]

Brian Howell hitting the recruiting question here we go.

 

[skibum]

Holy ****. He had zero prep time for his interview. I can't image having to interview for a dream job on about 12 hours notice.

 

[BuffUp]

Best of the Best

We're going to recruit the areas that have naturally been very productive for us.

Mentions:
1. Colorado
2. California
3. Texas
4. Louisiana
5. Western Region where the conference is
6. Other "spot" recruiting such as his personal connects in Florida, but not the focus

 

[ahoelsken]

Nik beat to me to the recruiting post. On coaches, KD said he's going to get started this afternoon on that.

I liked his answer. I mean he does know what worked for them here so that's a plus at least.
