You don't want your players to like their strength and conditioning coach

I don't think I'd want my players to give my strength and conditioning coach an A because don't you want like that guy to be the hardest person in the world on you? I think like, you kind of want to hate your strength coach a little bit, right? Like maybe you don't want an F but it getting like a C plus or a B, you want that guy to like push you to be super, super uncomfortable all the time.

This is a subjective philosophy on coaching and player development.

NFL owners who purchase their teams provide better facilities than those who inherit them

Nine out of the top 10... excluding the Packers, were teams that the owner purchased the team. And then all the bad [NFLPA] grades essentially were teams where the owners inherited the team, basically fail sons and daughters who are driving whatever they inherited into the ground.

This is largely a subjective analysis of data, but the data cited regarding the top-graded teams (Dolphins, Vikings) vs. the bottom-graded teams (Commanders, Cardinals, etc.) generally supports his observation of 'purchased' vs 'inherited' ownership groups.

NFL players hate their locker rooms because college facilities have spoiled them

My theory is that college locker rooms have gotten so out of control good that it's a step back when you go to the NFL. Like college coaches should be like, 'Yeah, you can go pro and make millions of dollars, but you don't get the barber chair.'

This is a subjective theory on player psychology and facility expectations.

The College Football Playoff will eventually return to regional divisions

I still think it's gonna be no different than cable to streaming back to cable where we're bundling all the streaming. Now they're gonna get to a point where they just start making like regional divisions and it's gonna be like, 'Well, okay, so Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA are in a division. Why don't we just call it the PAC-4?'

The future structure of college football is currently in flux; this remains a pending prediction for the long-term landscape.

Nate Oats needs to teach his players to never let the police look through their phones

Let the Aden Holloway situation be a reminder to everybody that you don't have to let the police look through your phone. I actually point the finger at Nate Oats for this, because Nate Oats, you gotta do a better job of explaining the first through fifth amendments to your players. Given the history that you've had... day one you should have a, get the guys from Morgan & Morgan to come in and be like, 'Do not talk to the police if you're in trouble. Shut the fuck up.'

This is a satirical advice piece and commentary on Nate Oats' coaching responsibilities.

Every major college coaching opening should start by calling Brad Stevens and making him say no

You gotta make him say no. You gotta call Brad Stevens and make him say no. I will personally never stop saying that. He probably wakes up every morning and says no. Voicemail just says, 'Thank you so much for the consideration, but it's gonna be a no.' It would be shocking if he ever took another college job.

This is an opinion on coaching search strategy.
