I love people that listen to these interviews hoping and praying that this time, after decades of Coach speak, the coach will actually tell them something relevant.

The stupid thing is if you're a college coach looking to impress ADs/boosters or an NFL assistant looking to impress owners/GMs it can't hurt to to be forthcoming and articulate with the media. It can also garner some goodwill with the fans and educating your fanbase is good for business. Golden was able to delay the heat by being engaging with the media early on. Then he got more coy and evasive as the losing piled up and that never helps. Diaz is following the same playbook as Shannon and Golden.

I was listening to the Athletic NFL podcast with Robert Mays and he tried his absolute hardest to ask specific questions of Byron Leftwich and got total cliche non-answers every time. Then he asked similar questions of Arians and got opposite answers of what Leftwich gave. Next hiring season the Bucs could be in the middle of another title run with a historic offense and I'd still be surprised if Leftwich got real consideration for HC jobs. And the media will of course blame his race when it's the dull robotic personality that's a tough sell as the leader of a billion-dollar franchise.

While I agree with the general premise that a lot of coaches hold back TOO much info for no good reason, I do not think that is going to dictate what happens to Leftwich. Arians is known for having that big personality with the media, Bill Bellichick is not and always gives generic answers and no one gives a **** because he wins. Arians is also the one that kept Brady's torn MCL underwraps and now the NFL is investigating.

....honestly, I don't know why anyone even bothers listening to this kind of coach-speak and nonsense. Just start winning games again, find away to beat North Carolina in their house (for the fourth time since 2004 and win the f'n Coastal for the second time since joining the ACC.

Anything else is just distortion and noise.
