Karl Dorrell introductory press conference (on now)

[nolabuff]

That was a pretty good recruiting answer. Immediately jumped to the important regions and I liked the spot recruiting response.

 

[PAHIBuff]

"Proud history of great players here"

 

[SerenityBuff]

Said he's gonna hit CA, TX, and LA hard as the base of recruiting. Spot recruit in places like FL, too. Calls CO players the "heartbeat" of the program.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Good comments on recruiting CA, TX and LA with some spot recruiting in FL. Didn't downplay recruiting or say anything about "developing".

 

[MKBuffs]

Wants to meet with each player individually, awesome gesture, not every coach does it that way.

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

It was a pretty "stock" answer, but he does know what has worked here in the past and he identified those particular states.

 

[BuffUp]

Really is well spoken especially at a time of so much emotions

 

[Duff Man]

That is a good answer. The hires will tell if he is prepared to follow through on that footprint.

Taking some subtle shots at coaches who come and go quickly...

My man.

Staff qualities:

1. Great teachers who care deeply about their players
2. Getting it right may cause him to push back the spring calendar.

 

[Bread]

What a stupid ****ing question. "Are you going to have the same style of play that Tucker wanted or are you going to do your own thing?" god the ****ing Denver media is full of idots.

 

[SerenityBuff]

I like that he's focusing on defense so much. That was a major criticism of his UCLA teams.

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

Oh. I like his answer regarding the cornerstone of our program. I like it a lot. I LOVE a good defensive football team.

 

[Buffskier]

That was a pretty good recruiting answer. Immediately jumped to the important regions and I liked the spot recruiting response.

If we can spot recruit FL and LA, in addition to CA, TX, CO... we'll be aight.

 

[nannybumpkins]

Love the defense response!

 

[KingPants]

What a stupid ****ing question. "Are you going to have the same style of play that Tucker wanted or are you going to do your own thing?" god the ****ing Denver media is full of idots.

Eh, question wasnt great, but it allows him to talk philosophy, which I'm liking.

I thought we didn't have that luxury because of the spring game being the last possible day?

 

[ahoelsken]

On the Spring calendar-KD said he's open to a change (my guess would be moving those three practices Melvin had set up before Spring Break to after would be the only thing they can do). Adam said the Spring game is scheduled for the weekend before finals anyway.....so not much they can do with it.

 

[Buffskier]

Wants to meet with each player individually, awesome gesture, not every coach does it that way.

especially on a compressed timeline.

 

[Gary Indiana]

I really like this guy. I truly hope it works out well because he is very easy to root for.

 

[AllStarBuffs]

Is it September 5th yet? LETS GOOO KD

 

[BuffUp]

Talking about the elephant in the room

 

[skibum]

Interesting, he wanted to let EB have first shot.

 

[PAHIBuff]

Talkin about EB.....

 

[ahoelsken]

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.

Especially given the events of the last two weeks and the timing of this search.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

I would like someone to ask a follow up to the staff question by asking about recruiting being an AC quality he looks for...

 

[chipwich]

I'm waiting for him to say "Stupid question".

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Every question has been great

 

[GoldenSkier]

Thats an impressive coaching tree

 

[ZKobalt]

Confusing Jay Norvell for Mike is the only mistake he's made in this PC
