Two points from CJS I thought were interesting.
First, he mentioned that he came across Tibesar three years ago while at UW. UW had visited whisky for some cross-training and implemented a lot of their defensive schemes, which Tibesar has been a big part of. He noted he got feedback from Chryst, which is what I’m sure we all assumed with their history. Highly doubt Chryst would lead CJS astray, at least intentionally.
Second, said that MR was basically the blueprint for low ego high output. The interesting part was he said they talked for 2-3 days about how things would look with CJS as HC. I think it was a soft, but clear way of telling Beaver nation that they had “the talk” about the fact this was now niner’s program

A summary + my thoughts while listening: - Observation: He's not an overpowering speaker, not given to a lot of coach speak, but very upbeat. His excitement is almost infectious. His own brand of 'aw shucks' that I think will lend itself to a lot of JSmith-isms in the years to come.
- Last three weeks have been a 'whirlwind'
- Wants to get to know players starting in January.
- I wish he would have talked specifically about Nall (and a few others)
- Spring ball in April.
- Riley: 'unbelievable value' to have MR for recruiting and evaluations. "Expertise on both sides of the ball" Important for JSmith to have a guy to bounce ideas off. Low ego/high output.
- DC: UW defensive schemes came from Tim.
- OC: Lindgren and JSmith go way back and have stayed in touch over the years. 'Good schematic football coach'.
- QB's: Guys are excited to get to work (some coach speak in here)
- He was very noncommital about talking about this group. Just conjecture, but I have to wonder if he's got his own QB sewn up for the starting job for next year already.
- Returning guys: Haven't been able to get to all of the guys to meet, but a couple of dozen or so.
- Wanted to get into coaching in HS, OSU a great fit to accomplish that goal
- Important to get a staff together with a clear vision for all areas: Recruiting, schematics, training, etc...
- Week in and week out, anybody capable of beating anybody in the conference
- Anxious to get his family moved to Corvallis

I think it was a soft, but clear way of telling Beaver nation that they had “the talk” about the fact this was now niner’s program I listened pretty intently to that part as well. I didn't get the impression that he would need to convince Riley of whose program it was going to be, just about what JSmith needed and how the former head coach could help out. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. |

Pending outcome of a few bowl games, I think we head into the off season with as much or more momentum and excitement than anyone in the P12 based on what we went through this season followed by the coaches we now have assembled.
Brings a lot of optimism and belief back to the program.
