McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 JJ6 and Lambert videos added to OPs ... Thanks. All of these continue to be entertaining. I think we're starting to take for granted just how well Gus handles himself in front of a microphone. Total composure at all times while providing thoughtful and honest answers to the questions he's being asked. I missed the frustration that others noted in recent interviews, and I really don't see any of it here. He's fully engaged and even keeled. Then he gets on the sideline and is all fire. Is it Saturday yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Saturday yet? Nope, but it IS football eve! I think Gus, lately, has seemed to be extremely confident in front of the microphones. Yes, there is a lot of coach speak, but he has figured out how to integrate it into a southern, aw-shucks-but-filled-with-competence vibe. His interviews used to be marked by a nervous, almost impatient energy, and that's fallen almost entirely by the wayside. How's this for a comparison- he reminds me a little of Jimmy Carter in an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
