Football is not that complicated. Love how Fran boils it down.

Fran appears more low key and guarded. He sounded like he hasn’t slept in a week.

We have a lot of work to do…

Fran appears more low key and guarded. He sounded like he hasn’t slept in a week.

That was one of my biggest takeaways. Clearly guarded and not forthcoming on a number of topics. He doesn’t want to dwell on the players running sprints after the UConn game. Seems there’s been some blowback there and he wants to kill the story. Probably a case of a young coach realizing he doesn’t want it to label him. But Fran is trying to stay in the moment and find his groove on the podium. He’s clearly concerned about saying the wrong thing and letting it become chalkboard chatter. Fran is learning as much as his team.

I don't see that he's that different. He's no nonsense and he controls the conversation. He joked a bit when he mentioned the Buffalo game. Maybe he's not in the best mood, which makes sense to me. His team hasn't played to his standard and we should be 0-2. He wants to win. I love how transparent he is with how he feels.
