So I went last night and let me start by saying we had a great time. Some bullet points
*we have to have the youngest coaching staff across all sports in the nation and I love it. Lots of energy in this group.
*McCasland is a funny dude with non-stop energy. The best comment from him and I am paraphrasing 'I want to build this thing up and stay. This could be one of the best jobs in the US'. He talked to my group for quite a while and we walked away confident we made the right hire. He has a plan and its a good one. The guy is a winner.
*Jalie Mitchell is such a smart polished woman. We all agreed that she was the best speaker of the group.
*Seth comes off a bit like he would rather drill a hole in his hand than be at the event. With that said once we got him warmed up he was a straight shooter and I really enjoyed talking with him. His position on the Army series has changed my opinion of the matter. (not my opinion of Liberty but it sounds like that was a necessary evil to accomplish the changes they wanted in the schedule) He played along when we wanted him to make a video to send to our friend UNTexas about snapping that ball through the endzone at Oklahoma. Just a good dude that makes you feel like we have the right guy at the helm.
*as to future changes in the schedule there is a lot of excitement in the AD about a future home and home. I am dying to hear who they are in talks with. Sounds like we will be happy.
*Karbach was a perfect choice for a venue. Great food, great beer, and a good atmosphere.
*Mike Smith has been my point guy in the AD for a few years now and I really enjoy talking and hanging out with the guy. I think he will go far.
This was my first Coaches Caravan and I am sure it won't be my last. I highly encourage everyone to attend. Once this program finally takes off you wont have the opportunities to have such candid conversations with the AD staff and coaches. I learned a lot.
