Going live on QB's was a new thing in a scrimmage for Kool. Just tried to play like it's a normal game without hurting anyone. The defense was excited about it. Said he's stoked where our D is right now but can be much better. Being great last year means we have expectations and are not under anyone's radar.
As to the difference between him and other D line coaches, he said that other coaches spend more time in other areas whereas he wants them working on attacking and being instinctive. We can rotate guys so they know they won't be exhausted and they can cut it loose. Said that there are a lot of shotgun teams in college football that appear like they're passing teams but they're really not. As to transfers/incoming freshman, right now we're focused on getting kids that are here better and when a new kid comes in hopefully they can make us better.
Up to now Chad Thomas and Joe Jackson have had a great spring. Demetrius Jackson's been great. All backups are playing like starters. Mentioned Garvin getting a sack on 1st play of scrimmage. Credited Diaz for linebacker play last year and never expected that and said they've taken a step up this spring. Said Mike Smith and Darrion Owens have been playing at a high level.
Likes coaching every day, not so much recruiting. Joked and said he likes recruiting for about 2 weeks and it goes about 6 weeks.
The entire interview should be available around 10 am under The Joe Rose Show and can be accessed here:
