LJS Interview with Coach Cav

[Mavric]

Interesting conversion on a variety of topics:

 

"I have a different personality on the field than off," Cavanaugh said by phone while on the road recruiting this week. "I love when my guys come into my office and we just talk. There's a different side. Sometimes it's football, but sometimes it's life. And the life part is huge. Your kids got to know that you care about them. That they're just not another football player. One thing I like is that I develop relationships with the kids off the field, and that means a lot to me. We are teachers."

Those relationships are a lot further along with Husker players than they were a year ago.

It is a deepened connection both Jerald Foster and Tanner Farmer, the favorites to start at the guard spots, brought up this spring. That chemistry off the field can help on it.

"I've been able to bond with him a lot better. It's helped a lot. … I'm loving it," Farmer said then. "I just want to keep on going this way."
