Did anyone listen to Miles' monday press conf?

i don't know if they put out a transcript for it or what but i listen to most of them, he sounded a little different today. in a good way.

talked about the o line needing to get better.

talked about the great game chad jones had and then immediately said something to the effect of "don't get me wrong, i'm not happy where he is right now, and he's not happy where he is right now..." but continued on to say that he and the whole team need to get better because they understand the competition is getting better really soon.

i don't know if "sense of urgency" is the right word (which is how hanagriff described it) but usually he doesn't give the press very much on where he thinks his team is, it's always we're doing fine and working to get better kind of stuff, but he was more frank today. and the press asked some great questions many of which he didn't sidestep with coachspeak (but alas some he did, he didn't go completely against character.)

just wanted to know if anyone else listened and got the same things i did from it?


edit: also he pretty much admitted he doesn't care about rankings (feinswog's question about do you feel you are coaching the #7 ranked team) but it led to him more or less admitting he has no idea who to vote for in the coaches poll because he doesn't pay attention on saturdays unless its to his team or his opponent. every coach does this, few admit to it.

here's a little bit of it:

yeah that's why i said i'm not sure if hanagriff used the right word but he was defnitely more open than usual.

 

This is a sign of a coach in control of all phases of his team. We will not only be good, we will be great. That is his and the teams expectations.

 

Just to point out, you can watch these for free now.

power to the people!!! thanks pod.

 

Miles sounds like he jumped on some azz today at practice.

 

Yeah, I got the impression that he knows as well as the fans that there's little time left to get ready for the meat of the schedule. I'm sure there's gonna be some real tired players after the next practice. I think he's well aware of what needs to happen, especially the offensive line.

 

yeah well every week he says we need to get better in ( insert an area) well it better be better if we're going to beat fl ga ala and auburn oh yeah and ole miss----- hell ill definitely take a peach bowl birth if the team continues to play like this against what i deem subpar opponents.

 

Purple jerseys against MSU...07 i believe we wore purple at msu also .

 

yeah thurs espn game opener.

we really need to break out the gold jerseys for games like this when the sun will be beating down.
