You are always open at some point when running the 'Four Verticals' play

On four verticals, you're always open at some point. You're either open underneath the coverage or you're open when the coverage transitions, or you're open behind the coverage... you're open in the windows. You're always open somewhere. The difficult thing is executing.

This is a subjective tactical opinion from a legendary coach, but theoretically sound within his offensive philosophy.

Cam Newton is broken and doesn't look right physically or mentally

Cam Newton is broken. He just doesn't look right. Every receiver, he either missed the throw or put it where they shouldn't be thrown. He would just simple passes. They were not thrown in the right position. And the whole night, it felt like the Panthers should have won that game. They didn't win that game because Cam Newton is broken. His soul is injured. His body's injured. His soul is injured. He is not right.

Newton was eventually placed on IR with a foot injury and never returned to his MVP form, validating the 'broken' assessment.

Trevor Siemian is not a significant downgrade from the current version of Sam Darnold

Trevor Siemian. Not terrible. Northwestern guy. He's not terrible. Trevor Siemian is not good, but he's also not terrible. He's not a huge, huge downgrade over Sam Darnold. Of what Sam Darnold currently is.

Siemian was injured almost immediately in his first start, making it difficult to judge, though the Jets offense struggled significantly without Darnold.

Gardner Minshew is going to be a pretty good player in the NFL

I think he's going to be a pretty good player. And I saw the story that said that he used to do band workouts in the locker room naked... Yeah, he would, well, not really band workouts. Uh, there's a combination of dancing and running in place... He's like one of the most passionate players I've ever coached.

Minshew went on to have a respectable NFL career as both a starter and high-end backup, arguably exceeding expectations for a 6th-round pick.

Washington State's mascot Butch T. Cougar beats Alabama's Big Al if it's a guy in a costume

Well, if they get a real elephant, we're in trouble... But if it's a guy in a costume, I'm going to go with the elusiveness of Butch [T. Cougar].

Purely subjective mascot combat theory.

Butch T. Cougar beats the Notre Dame Leprechaun unless the Leprechaun is actually magic

That leprechaun better actually be magic because otherwise I'm going to go with Butch.

Subjective comparison of a cougar vs a mythological figure.
