Yesterday on the pregame show, PJ was interviewed by Gaard and the subject turned to the improved OL play. PJ talked about Callahan and what a wonderful job he was doing. Said something along the lines "we had only 4 OL when we got here and we've built it up to now 17 or 18 scholarship OL."
As far as PJ is concerned, I wasn't sure about him as a coach initially. That first season and the way we looked the last few games of that year didn't change my opinion. Last year though, they looked so much different and better(post R Smith time) and
I see that the players really are buying into what he is selling. I like that they have developed an identity on both sides of the ball and really try to impose their will on the other team.
I have never been a fan of the RTB, HYPRR, etc. slogans and never will be. Don't like them being focus of the team,- on uni's, being promoted more or almost as much as the Gophers nickname, etc. Would rather all that be the focus of the team more internally. So glad someone put an end to the maxi pad helmet stripe, my only question to that is what took so long!
I'm wondering if Coyle had something to do with that as during his pregame interview with Gaard, he made mention that PJ asks for quite a bit and sometimes the admin has had to say no to him.
Also, like spoofin,
I find much of the things he says to be eye roll worthy and the dishonesty or stretching of the truth is quite annoying.
