I agree with sentiments in the thread about being respected vs liked for sure. But make no mistake, Fran started out the way he always does, with respect and thoughtfulness for the other side. Key was the disrespectful...
Here is replay
Fran Press Conference 1 - GT is a well coached team, I used to play for Coach Key and he was one of the first people that helped me become successful. More praise for GT toughness and Key's smarts etc...
Key Press Conference 1 - I don't really know Fran tbh, I was there 4 months and we weren't even on the same side of the ball. Also, I'm not worried about Cuse strategy, if we come out tough we will be fine.
Fran Press Conference 2 - So he don't know me and we're not tough. Ok, we'll see Sat.
Key Press Conference 2 - Players " Syracuse" with chuckles from Key and more disrespect from players
Fran Post Game - FAFO (which the players seemed to support 1000%, including OG our most humble player)
I only post this because I don't want any revisionist history like Fran came out slinging some young cocky DB. He came out the way he always starts, with respect, love and gratitude. But Fran has a particulary steep FAFO curve and the world is seeing it first hand and I AM HERE FOR ALL OF IT.
