Quick Quotes/Notes from Alex Golesh
Golesh said it has been a long 8 months and they are working hard on that. They attacked the roster and tried to fill as many gaps as they could through recruiting. They kept an open mind through spring evaluating and moving kids around. They created competition through that. 38 new scholarship guys and 49 new players including walk-ons. One more addition later this week that is finishing up school at his old place.
New bodies means they have to figure where they can help them.
Third thing was setting up the culture and the accountability and building on a day-to-day basis a winning culture, how they do everything every day, everything matters on and off the field. They carved a huge chunk out of the deficit he walked into.
The big thing now is how do they handle adversity and that is what he wants to see in Fall Camp, they gave the players and the staff the tools to handle adversity, until they see it they won't know. They are going to make it hard, but also want to keep them healthy. He is using science to help with that last part.
It's time to go to work. No more social media, it is work time.
What does success look like in year one, to him, he defines that in how he handles adversity and how do they handle it when it goes well and when it doesn't. They are laying the foundation of a program where they will win championships, but it is the foundation and they are still laying that down. They will find out early on if they are any good or not and how they handle that with the schedule.
There is really good competition at RB, TE and on the OL and as much as they've seen at WR. He is excited about the WR room and they have a chance to be really good. The DL they have new guys, the edges are good, the interior has to get better. At LB there is a lot of competition they want to see it play out. They added pieces at DB, got some guys healthy, how do they get their best 5 on the field back there. CTO does a good job of packaging defense. They have 6-7 guys who feel like starters as they package out for WKU. Kicker will be competition and punter and a freshman long snapper that will compete.
7 days of practice, scrimmage on the 8th and he is working to set up a place to scrimmage because he wants to be able to operate like a game day with the coaches in the press box and they will practice 3 more then scrimmage on 12 and then they will have an idea of depth. They'll have a mock game week to get ready for WKU and then a regular game week prep for that game. The focus is on getting the kids ready.
The staff prepared a base game plan for WKU in June. The team are moving into the Embassy Suites for 11 days, taking away car keys to get guys focused.
