PAC 12 Coaches anonymously speak about other programs

I love these kinds of articles.  Lots of good stuff in this one.

What a great read, thanks so much for posting it Central! I especially loved the following:

“In a lot of ways they’ve emulated Stanford to the point where they are the new Stanford, and right now they’re more talented.”

“This team is a brand. It’s a toughness and defense. They’re the most physical team in the conference every single year now, and they’re one of the meanest in the game. This is all Whit [Kyle Whittingham]; it’s his mindset, it’s his attitude. ‘Mental toughness” is a cliche but Whit has those guys ready. They’re even, never too high or low.”

Liked this one too:

“[Andy] Ludwig is coming along with the offensive side, they’re starting to build their own brand there, too. You see consistency in the calls. Again, you know what they are when you go in: they’re built by their running game, with the backs and with QB run and moving the pocket. That works because they’re usually good up front, and when they can run steady they’re going to work you as much as they can with play action. It’s one of the best matches to a defense of any offense in the Power 5.”
