Listening to O’s media conference today, this guy just gets it.

O said they scaled down the practices slightly when the staff provided numbers showing the game speed of the players were tailing off a little. Said he was provided with data that said multiple groups playing at or above the 20MPH mark against A&M. They scale up or down according to the data provided. He runs this program like a machine and uses many metrics to perform his job as CEO.

He has the strength and conditioning team keeping him well informed with data to see how well he and his coaches are doing with their practices each week. O will adjust practices and techniques by a little here and there accordingly to get the most of of them over the course of the season. Now this seems like a man who has his finger on the pulse of the program.

And as a side note.... O was asked about plans to secure Joe Brady. He does what O does by answering diplomatically and then laying out the truth. O said that he understands that top flight assistants deserve to have opportunities afforded to them and knows others will be coming for Joe. O then smugly says they have already addressed it and are on top of it. (Wording may be off, but I loved hearing what he said and the way he said it)
