Spring Preview with Jeff Monken clearly addresses the offense and Coach Thatcher

[PrideandDream]

Very interesting first 10 minutes. Kudos to Monken for being as up front and straight about the decisions that were made and the results we had with the offensive change.

Most importantly glad to know we will be back under center and building our offense around traditional type play we've seen and been successful with in the past.

He talks about mixing the two but that is likely not different than what we were doing under Davis. Davis had shotgun sets and throwing sets. And we had run lots of Gun stuff in previous A/N games to include 2022 where we were in the gun almost all of the 1st half.

Looking forward to getting back to being tough and physical and pounding the ball down people's throats against a group of teams we should be competitive with every week.

Write up from Black Knight Nation is a good summary too.

"Up front and straight" is exactly right P&D. Typical Jeff Monken. Owns his decisions, both good and bad. Thankful he's that way, with zero self-pride or ego. Always puts the program first. Sad that Thatcher had to go, but it was for our best and his and Jeff said as much. He'll find a home, no doubt, if he hasn't already.

Meanwhile, we'll get back to what we do best; again, as you said, "pounding the ball down people's throats". It was and is still our best "Edge" against usually superior skilled position talent: It's Army Football. Control the clock and grind 'em down.

Hoorah.
