Is it me, or does this sound revolutionary?
I can picture a lot of teams doing this from here on out, two teams, practicing at separate times? That's an amazing way to get a lot more players involved in spring practice. I can almost see this being something that may become the "norm". Of course, some other teams may have done this already, I just don't know. But from what I know, it sounds new.
Even if it's not "revolutionary". Let's talk about the perception of a man who has been coaching for a long time. You would assume that guy would be stuck in his ways. He knows what he knows, so he's going to stick to it.
Instead this sounds like a person who loves what he does, and willing to work twice as hard (two practices) to make himself, his staff and this team better. If you aren't excited about Mike Riley and his approach to the game of football. Than I don't think you truly understand what passion is. Admittedly, I was (and still a tiny bit) skeptical of this guy, but man, he doesn't lack passion and he wants to get better.
Maybe I'm missing football too much, but this is some great stuff.
Sad thing with TA. He has been at NU 3 years, was the starter for 2 and he is still having to improve his footwork and mechanics. Not a knock on him at all. Just further proof the right decision was reached when Bo and Co was sent packing. Anxious to see what a real QB coach can do with our guys.
Might have been above, but TA mentioned going under center about 50% of the time in HS. I am thrilled with the possibility of having a qb under center in short yardage situations. I also liked (believe Riley's comments) about why do a 5-7 step drop when under center.
The record might not reflect it, but the knowledge of this staff is light years ahead of the crew that just left. We won 9 with guys coaching with less knowledge than some on this board. I have to think that with the brain trust assembled, that has got to be worth 1-2 wins.......

I think we got a great coach. I am not putting numbers on a season, I never do. But I love his passion as stated above. He is a leader, he motivates at every opportunity, positive and concerned. Anxious to see how the kids look in spring practice. Sounds like a major change in direction in strength and conditioning. Love the idea of flying to the ball, attacking the QB.
