Dave Doeren interview

Four straight wins to close the regular-season door and is now with the home finale against Georgia Tech.

They do the zoom press conferences, and I remember seeing you more emotional than we normally see you coach and the word you Using throughout that postgame presser was proud and how proud you were of your guys with some time between then and now, what makes you most proud of what your group accomplish this year you think you are just overcoming the number of hundred things that happened.

There were so many different things you know from schedule changes reading campus abruptly closed social justice for the injuries that we had the faith, play football with masks different all the things that happened. Our lineup change the bond she just kept sticking together and fighting on the way to win games different ways no flanks mentality.

The football team have a little pressure to be a part of the lot upon your coaching staff just the chemistry we had to walk on from the I forget if it was Dabo or maybe Clawson told us that the practices all throughout this year, more lively than they were in the past because there was an appreciation just for the practices and for the process. Considering how close it fell that we want to get the season at all breeze great and you guys had a tremendous year, but that it somehow feel more satisfying because of the circumstances you been outlining things so there's a million reasons. You could say that we didn't have a good year.

No employment almost 30 people go no, we found a way of really successful season argue drug for a great season when you win as many conference games in school history makes it very rewarding.

I would agree. I think particularly early on the first couple months of product or service used to gratify just be quiet you know lots in particular the time for the guy didn't know what really happened since he stated Steve Doran with the Syrian sports of dry knockout this housekeeping note here Devon Leary. He sustained a leg injury more athletics described as being afford eight week injury and that was back in October I did the math on. I believe that last Saturday would've been eight weeks to the day and you said last month don't really expect him to come back to the regular season, but maybe for the postseason. What can you tell me about his current status by farming out of a boot first walk around in regular shoes you been able to throw for a couple weeks with a boot on you know he's not ready to play. He will be fully cleared. Probably get back to the second start work out all out but he would not be ready to play this ballgame.

Is it fair to say, considering how he went off the field that the injury was, not as bad as you originally feared it might be never know. You know that one of the bone severe ankle sprain. Obviously go along with it, but you have no idea what should you know what you feel your director feels like, you know how much it's going to be damaging obviously don't feel stronger, so that was good news and the amount of time you having to sit there and not just matter not build muscle backup flexibility. Everything else when you get called quarterback you I feel the obligation to ask about the death you have a deposition, saw some of Ben Finley Bailey Hoffman. Of course, led the team in the final stretch to all those wins and we know what Devon's capable of doing.

I think the best example might be the 400 yards or stop herself in the game-winning drive. He led Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. How pleased are you with the quarterback death, you have going in the off-season. Jacob likely know they're all great young man. They're all getting better contribute] Chris Proctor, who also helped coach back, they do not job coaching.

Those guys become rather hungry get good skills in their improving.

So like to have that situation. Look forward to continuing to work with all it's almost been aghast that on the day after national signing day because I'm sure that something you use hey look at this Russell Wilson guy Jacoby percent. Do you know who that is. Well he played here, as did Ryan Finley, as did Philip Rivers so on and so forth. Give me a sense though for how different this process was how many of the signees. Dave haven't even been on campus before you not remember most of them came down actually dear your software process. There are a couple you know the late pickup godlike tumors of all of his mom works at transfer has not been here in person, but the guys that you know committed early or throughout the season or come prior to or they came up on their own with their parents which they were allowed to do during that quarantine. I guess you say without showing him around, getting so so the campus I am fascinated by the state Doran with the certainty state the full text talking about the 11 in-state kids that you sign we been pushing for the NCAA to take a look at the potential February. That's often the dead. Lifting that and allowing for coaches like you to watch high school football in the state on Friday nights that supposed to start in February.

How are you handling that with the 11 kids are you giving them the opportunity to play out their senior seasons or too many of those guys say listen. Where were sign with the pack were moved on to trying to transition here into the collegiate level.

You know most of her graduated early. Most of them are fed up with not going to school you know and unfortunately we can only take so many that semester would actually follow waiver with several of the school going straight As Well Try to Get Our In-State Players That Want to Come Early, the Ability to Do so Colder Than How Much They've Lost in Their Careers Already Ruled on the but There's a Handful of Kids That Are Trying to Decide If They Want C New Year and Not Push One Way or the Other.
