In one of the post press conference interviews, Plough commented that one of his first call was to Lan. Every time i see a new post on this thread, i hold my breath when i open it up.

Your welcome. I hesitated before i asked. At the reception, there was some comment in private conversation that high tempo offenses keep the defense on the field longer, or give the defense less time to rest.

Yes, deep feelings especially how Sochor predicted he would be head coach “some day.” One observation, while the regulars were there, there was a number of older supporters who I haven’t seen at any games or functions.
I liked his comments regarding his vision of important factors, basically the Aggie way, but that he was a competitor and plans to win (paraphrasing). He got applause when he said a goal is a national championship. I like what i heard.

I was there but not sure. Maybe Foster?
BTW, I was the guy who asked him about the high tempo offensive schemes.

Starting now

Yes but it doesn’t look like they’ve started the stream

Lots of former players and supporters that I rarely see

Room is filled up now

Empty room so far

From what I’ve seen from tweets from recruits, they usually reference position coaches and not the head coach. I think its honorable that Coach Plough is fulfilling his Cal responsibilities through the bowl game.

49-19 Griz, early in 4th

Be thankful you’re not in Missoula tonight. They're playing in a total white out.

I only caught part of the msu game but it sounded like they had 2 qbs go down. The blocked FG reminded me of our loss to ewu.

“ Hawkins hired Plough before the 2017 season to inject new offensive life into an Aggies program that had suffered five consecutive losing seasons after decades of success. Plough was the Aggies assistant head coach and offensive coordinator in 2019 and 2020, unleashing a wide-open offense designed to stretch and buckle defenses. It became known by players and coaches as “Shredville.”

This is what we’ve been missing. I’m looking forward to see what we have talent wise next year and how Coach Plough uses that talent. I guess i had forgot that the term “shedville” had its origins with Plough. And was it Plough that was responsible for the high tempo no huddle schemes that were successful for us?

I'm optimistic. Go Ags!

Well, this is a great opportunity for him. Go Ags!

I’d like to think Matt Coombs had a lot to do with our success on defense this last year. Pre-season, my wife and i arrived early to the football team aggie event and Matt was the first person to greet us. We had an informative football conversation and in spite of his very youthful appearance, it was obvious that he is sharp as a tack and a “Davis guy.” Here’s what Hawk had to say about him;

"When we talk about 'Davis Guys,' people ask what we mean by that," said Hawkins. "But he gets it. He gets the well-roundedness of it. That's important here, and it's important to have coaches who relate and identify with our players and their goals and aspirations. That includes playing championship football, but it might also include studying plant biology in Borneo. Having a guy who gets that is important here. He's just a really good fit."

"Just like in recruiting, it's all about fit," said Hawkins. "He went to Yale, so he understands education and that component. He's used to winning, so he expects to win and knows how to win. He has worked in a similar defensive structure that we run, so he can take that and add and polish and put his spin on it."

Unfortunately you cant get pac12 with directv. If you have directv, you’ll need to use one of the streaming services.

For what it’s worth, Coach Plough’s current salary at Cal is $270,000 plus bonus. Cost of living in the bay area would make a similar buck stretch further in Davis. I’m assuming he has a young family. Moving kids from their school and friends would certainly be part of the decision making process.

For kicks i was trying to find Moroski’s salary but the numbers i found were ridiculously low.
