Steve Addazio used to have a head full of hair until he was hired at BC and told that he would be an eagle.

As expected, the Les Miles would be a bowl of lawn clippings.

My grandfather is Cliff Cobb. He invented the Cobb Salad.

I've always thought that Bud has given great answers in pressers. He gives depth to his answers and understands that is what the writers are looking for.

The main thing I notice this year, is Bud seems to be sneaking a recruiting pitch into his responses.

"I told him today and as I told him when I recruited him, this is a relationship for a lifetime. I'll stand on the table for the guy for whatever he wants and needs. We'll be here for him, not just when he's through here, but for the rest of his life. That's kind of who we are and who we've been. We're gonna live that, too."

I've noticed this similar sentiment in recent pressers too when discussing the tradition of brothers at VT and also the "family" culture at VT. Sly move by Bud and co. to try to get that message out there.

I'm starving now. Thanks everyone. Gonna go home later and learn how to make 1000 different salads cause of y'all

Sounds like Waldorf Salad but no clue who delivered it.

Nobody likes their salad tossed?...

The best example I can think of is the fact that for the second consecutive year, he found himself second on the depth chart in the off season despite being far and away our most aggressive blocker. The only difference being that unlike Searles, Vice didn't reinstate him at number one before the season started. That tells me whatever got him in Searels' doghouse probably repeated itself. If that isn't a good example of stubbornness, I don't know what is.

(Conjecture, sure, since neither Searles nor Vice discussed what the situation was, as it should be.)

I also get what you're saying about great leaders motivating, but that's not a maxim. Sometimes personality conflicts are too great to overcome in a supervisor relationship. Do we fault Kevin Rodgers for failing to get Marcus Vick to play to his full potential? (Not comparing Wyatt to Marcus, just making the broader point that sometimes you can have a great coach who can't get through to a talented by headstrong player.)

Either way, we need whatever the issue is to get resolved, because Wyatt Teller has the distilled essence of Jake Grove running through his veins, and we need him on the field.

I'll give you an A for effort here but, if I put wings on a submarine, it doesn't make it a plane.

It's still a helicopter and Moe's doesn't even do that.
