Message: [QUOTE="CuseLegacy, post: 1088336, member: 469"] [B]Q. Going back to changing the climate, what has Scott Shafer done to change the climate in the locker room with you, and talk about going through the first season with Coach Joe Adam.[/B] SEAN HICKEY: I feel Coach Shafer really wants us to take control of our own team rather than in the past where everybody -- this was Coach Marrone's team. He ran the ship every way, shape and form it was his team. Coach Shafer has taken a little different approach. He wants us to take a little bit more ownership in what happens and us police our own -- whether it comes to people like missing class or whatever, like us to police it and hold our players accountable rather than the coaches holding us accountable. So I would feel that's the one thing Coach Shafer is trying to bring to the table more. Coach Adam, he's done a great job for making the transition between like his last job and this one. He's done -- like I said earlier about Terrel demanding respect, Coach Adam has demanded respect since he got here, and listening to him talk about football, then you start to respect him because he understands he knows what he's saying even though he's been a defensive coach for a while. He does bring a aspect to the game that you want to learn from, and the thing I've got to see is I got to see three different O-line coaches in three seasons. I had Greg Adkins for my first three years here, then last year I had Pat Perles and this year I have Joe Adam, so you get to see all kinds of different coaching philosophies and how they view certain technique things so I can pick and choose from each one, which one has helped my game the best, and then I can apply say I like something from Coach Adkins and I like something from Coach Perles and I like something from Coach Adam, I can like morph it. To keep getting exposed to things like that, his type of coaching, just helps you become an overall better player. [/QUOTE]
