Has spring practice begun? If not, how do they know how the coaches will get in their minds and prepare them for game day?
I'm getting old, I've seen the same s*&t said by players at the beginning of every new regime. Show me with the play on the field guys.

Only guy that ever backed up the off-season hype was Jaelan when it came to showing off bodies.Yea im done with this been hearing this sh*t since Randy Shannon. Even heard it with Manny.

I know people will laugh, but this stuff matters. Ask Brady or Jordan.Reading between the lines throughout this interview, they seem to respect this staff significantly more than the previous one.
Some paraphrased quotes:
"Even practice they play with your mind, trying to get you prepared for game time."
"They've changed even the little things. Like our rooms were never clean, we never worried too much about that. But now all our rooms are spotless."
"Every one is on board. Some people who used to be a problem are now all bought in."
"This increase in support for the football program makes us feel the love and makes us want to play harder."
Like Admiral McRaven said in his famous speech.....the fact that little things in life matter. If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
I listen to that apeech a couple times a year.
The start of a regime change is usually where the most of notable.It's literally only been 5 minutes - how can there have been THIS much change?
Why are we here? To give our opinions on topics, just like you. Sorry you don't like it, but you can abstain from reading contrary opinions just as well.People often comment "I've heard this before" and "show me with results" and "I'm done winning off-season championships."
These are absolutely FAIR and VALID criticisms. We've been burned before and it's reasonable to take precautions in order to not get swept away with hopeful optimism that will make a misstep harder to digest. For what it's worth, I completely agree. I am excited and optimistic about the future, but my expectations are tempered until they are verified with objective results.
The fact remains, however, that this is the off-season. There won't be games for months.
If you want just the major headlines, there are plenty of media sources that will keep you abreast of every hire, transfer, and injury. But people come to this board around this time not just because they are interested in the big news but because they are interested in the latest rumors and in engaging in speculation. This is, after all, a message board - a place where fans gather and discuss. Often, it's irrationally polarizing with groups trending to extremes in either direction (the so-called "mopes" and "slurpers," in the semi-literate parlance of the board). If such discussion and speculation bothers you, even when it's optimism that comes directly from the players themselves, then it is far more reasonable and productive for you to abstain from visiting this board than to object to such commentary. So, this begs the question: why are you here on the off-season?
I believe you are looking at that in the wrong way.Joe Philbin was notorious for making sure a clean locker room was kept and we saw how successful he was as a head coach.
Look, I have long been complaining about this team's lack of discipline for a long time. Until we see a reduction in false starts, late hits, and other unforced errors due to lack of discipline, I'm not going to get too excited about a clean locker room edict. Hopefully, one leads to the other.

Not really. How could some players play for Manny Diaz and NOT have problems? I'd have lost my mind a long time ago if he was my head coach.Would've loved to know who some of those problem players were
I agree but the difference is that this staff has the actual history where this stuff resonates a little more than it did with the coaches you mentioned. Cristobal is a seasoned head coach so this ain't talk. He has the processes in place to create the structure and enforcement to make sure talk isn't just that.Yea im done with this been hearing this sh*t since Randy Shannon. Even heard it with Manny.

I’ve been hearing “it’s the off-season bro” as the reason for these irrationally polarizing discussions for years…. It’s not the the off-season, it’s the board and the posters…People often comment "I've heard this before" and "show me with results" and "I'm done winning off-season championships."

At that point you'd have to believe kids staying was truly for love of the school or the department for their degree was particularly strongNot really. How could some players play for Manny Diaz and NOT have problems? I'd have lost my mind a long time ago if he was my head coach.
Shut this thread down, it happens every single time. I believe this time it will actually show but this is classic new staff talk.Yea im done with this been hearing this sh*t since Randy Shannon. Even heard it with Manny.
