- athlon big 12 coaches quotes
"They’re not talented at all on defense. Where they’ve struggled recently is to get those big guys up front. They used to have those 270-, 290-pound guys to play the two inside tackles, and they were hard to move around. Then they’d hit you with a couple guys coming off the edge. They just don’t have that right now — none of it, and you look at them in warmups and they don’t look like a Big 12 team. He has to change that, but he coached them as well as he could.” -who would that be? Gary Patterson?
I know that we don't have the best defense in the league, but this has to be a quote based off of last year's team, correct?
We Now Have
Trent - 6'3 - 282
Lima - 6'3 -306
Tongamoa - 6'5 - 290
Matt Leo - 6'7 - 276
A lot of P5-unknowns, but still a formidable looking front line

Second comment sounded very Patterson or Holgerson. First sounded pretty Gundy.
I assumed that came from someone in the Hayden Fry coaching tree like Mike Stoops or Snyder.
I thought second was Tom Hermann because he mentioned the fans patience and Danny Mac haha, and who else cares enough about ISU to throws those names out??
Someone with Fry/Mac connections like Snyder or a Stoops, as mentioned above
That exact same quote came out before somewhere. Maybe during the media days.
I feel like this was something put out a month or two ago and recycled. Pretty sure I've seen these quotes before.
Or maybe equipment managers. Can you actually see Bill Snyder talking down any program to some runny nose kid reporter? People who take this seriously are probably experts in 'fake news' too. Please!
I'm pretty sure those quotes are really referencing last year. It was originally written in June.
well yeah, other Big 12 coaches aren't going to be scared of 3 guys who have never played D1 FB and a guy who has mostly been a backup. Got to prove it on the field to get respect.
I get that. But his point was basing it solely off of the looks of our guys "you look at them in warmups and they don't look like a Big12 team", and how we "used to have those 270-290 guys." Well, we have those guys now, and I'd venture to guess this coach just doesn't know as much. Which is fair.
I really don't know when ISU had two DTs that were hard to move around. Maybe 2005? Tucker wasn't hard to move around, he ran himself out of plays. They sure haven't had anyone stout in there in the last 5 years. This year, they at least have the right body types to stand up to the run. I'll also disagree that they are not talented at all on D. DL and LB have yet to be seen, but they've been talented at DB for awhile now.
