This is a fascinating quote :

So I'm excited. I enjoy going to work every day. I enjoy being with him. He's just a true professional. Thank God we have him, right? Because my job has changed so much just in the last year. Between Kirk Ciarrocca and Joe Harasymiak, our two coordinators, I couldn't be more pleased. It's the best staff I've been on my whole career.

Again, thank goodness, because a lot of my time now is spent on NIL and those type of things that have very little to do with offense or defense. If they weren't there, I don't know what would give. So I'm very appreciative and fortunate and blessed to have them in our program.

Interesting quote by Greg regarding 18-22 being the most critical stage of development except for infancy. I'm not sure of the validity, but something to think about.

On returning after 8 years:

"So we had to really rebuild a lot of the things, whether it's medical coverage, the way the players ate, nutrition, training, all that. You know what, I didn't complain at all because you know when you're taking a job what has to get done."

So, apparently, even the food sucked while he was gone.

I long ago stopped expecting coaches to say anything in these type of settings.
True, it’s all “coach speak”, but without raising a firestorm the most honest comment from a head coach was made by Chris Ash at BIG media days a few years ago. He said “I was 1 and 11 last year, no one wants to hear what I have to say”.

Uhm Coach, Were paying you $ 4 million a year. If we start hearing complaints you will lose the room.

No one wanted to hear what he had to say or watch his teams play

I would think a good to ask schiano is “why don’t you hire a a business savvy NIL guy so you can coach football?”
