Rogers press conference

Started out a bit rough for me when he said he would "love his players unconventionally" when I'm pretty sure that he meant "unconditionally". That said, he's clearly a young guy who hasn't reached his ceiling yet. Agree that it felt that he took a couple shots at Dickert. In particular, it felt like he was saying that Dickert and his staff lost focus at the end of the season and they were looking ahead after an 8-1 start.

I did find it interesting that he kept saying that Pullman was like the Midwest. He's not wrong in some respects but that's the first time that I've seen a coach say that about the Palouse.
 
I've never put a lot into press conferences, but I thought he came across as genuine and grateful for the opportunity. I wasn't aware that he was at SDSU for 19 years. That's remarkable in this day and age. He choked up talking about coach Stig and his time at SDSU. I like that. It's common to hear coaches BS about how they want to be here for a long time, but I get that vibe from him. He's a small-town guy at his core. I thought his comments about "him and the staff not getting distracted about what else was better" was a nice (and accurate) shot at Dickert.

I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about this guy. I like that we're changing up the offense. I've been watching us throw the ball every down forever. What the Hell? Let's see how ground and pound works. Liked hearing him say that "we will hit." Liked hearing him say that he believes in creating the scheme around the players. Like that he's a 4-3 guy with some 4-2-5 mixed in. Not sure we can recruit at the necessary level, but I like the 4-3. Like that he absolutely prioritizes OL and DL. Again, proof will be in the recruiting, but I like it. Dude does not lack confidence. I didn't see any awe shucks about him.

Schulz not attending made me happy. I hope it's been made clear to him to stay away from WSU athletics until he leaves town for good.

Now that’s a good post right there.
 
He strikes me as someone who would rather be in a film room than do those weekly shows. I can't remember what Leach said during those stupid things. They get a small amount to do the programs.....I'd just tell them to keep $10,000 or so. Sorry I'm working on my profession.

Leach’s sand pit was unconventional love. ❤️

Maybe he meant "unconventionally?" He said it twice btw.
