This week's teach tape on Cody Williams, and how he's getting really comfortable on the offensive end 👇

I know the video was posted but reading it was more enlightening ...

The first three weeks he skipped the team meetings he had scheduled with us. The first three weeks we were working out we did not get to see him, talk to him, interact with him, hear from him – nothing."
“He keeps the door to his office closed and usually during practice he’s on the golf cart, so your personal intimate interaction with him is pretty limited.”
“He made himself very unapproachable with his door being closed and the sign that says ‘DON’T COME IN UNLESS ASKED TO COME IN.'"
"He’s got a red carpet outside his door that says 'DON’T STEP ON THIS MAT UNLESS YOUR SHOES ARE OFF, DON’T COME IN UNLESS INVITED.’”
“I went to shake Deion’s hand [after being cut from the team] and said ‘Thank you, Coach’, and he said ‘Yeah, buddy, you got it’ and pointed at the door. He wouldn’t even look me in the eye.’”
"I was alone in the elevator with him. I’d say ‘Hey, Coach Prime, how you doing, it’s good to see you’. He was on his phone typing and he would just look up at me and go back to his phone. Not even a nod. No acknowledgement that I was even there. Flat-out ignored me."
"I did the same thing [in the elevator], 'Hey, Coach, how you doing?' and he looked up from his phone and said 'Hey, buddy, press 5.' So, I pressed the fifth floor and just shut up. That was the fourth time I tried to speak with him alone. I was trying to talk to him man-to-man and he wouldn't acknowledge me."
"He's dapping up all the people he brought in, and hugging on the players that came with him from Jackson, and the guys he brought in from south Florida and all these other schools, and wouldn't even nod in my direction."
"I thought he was going to come in and mentor me and kind of take me under his wing because he wanted to see people like me who grew up with their mom and are of African-American descent excel. And then to be ignored and eventually dismissed hurt."
"They told me [an injured walk-on player] through email you had to be an 'active member of the team to be on the sideline.' Obviously, The Rock and Lil Wayne are active members of the roster."
"Typically, at the spring game when the parents fly in they get to meet the position coach and meet the head coach. Deion had been our coach for five months at that time and he refused to meet with any of the parents. That set off red flags in my mom's head."

Some fans are crazy. I feel like we have some of these fans here.

Guy could have had a lot of jobs. He has an impressive career record at multiple stops. Said the scope of the rebuild is what brought him there.
Guy has plenty of money and has accomplished a lot. Seems like maybe he is doing it for the right reasons as he didn’t have to take that job to coach over other places.
Wonder if he is someone who doesn’t like how it’s going in the game overall so went somewhere that isn’t and can’t participate.

Hard to imagine anyone having success there but hope he does.

Solid hire for Elko. Big hit for KSU. Klein has done a good job with their offense and been a big part of their success. Wonder how this affects them in the short term with the OL coach potentially getting promoted.

Also - never knew there was a pop tarts bowl

Both OSU and WSU will play 6 games against MWC teams next year in a shceduling agreement. Glad to see they have found a way to keep the PAC 2 alive for a while longer while they fight for what should be rightfully theirs when we all bailed.

It appears so far WSU will have

6 MWC teams(SDSU and SJSU already showing up )
OSU
UW in apple cup

Need to find 4 more. Hopefully they can find 2 P5 but that seems like a long shot

OSU appears to have

WSU
6 MWC teams
Idaho State
Purdue

We would of been better off staying or joining the MWC where we could of least had a competitive football record.

Besides money what did we truly get joining the PAC?
