The problem with exercises like this one, aside from coachspeak (“Of the 65 coaches, ‘hungry’ was the most common description.”) is the lack of nuance.
Is Richt saying…
- “Wow, wait ’til people get a load of Isaiah McKenzie”?
- “Wow, I can’t believe Ray Drew is on the scout team”?
- “Wow, Todd Gurley”?
- “Wow, I can’t believe that with a week to go we haven’t settled on the starters in the secondary yet”?
Beats me.
What do you think he’s ginned up about?

OK, that’s funny! I’m disappointed that he didn’t come up with something a little more descriptive or at least more clarity…maybe he’s trying to keep everyone guessing. I do know this…he’s gonna look silly if we bomb out on the first game. Then it will be ‘Wow’ what were you thinking CMR?

P.S. …and this comes after comments about concerns for the unsettled positions. Maybe the ‘wow’ is…”wow, look at all the unsettled positions”…

Hopefully it’s something along the lines of, “Wow, I forgot what a well coached defense could look like.”

That was an unexpected word. Interpreting it, I am somewhere in between: 1) “Wow I never thought I would have an all new defensive staff, along with several missing players and some that still have not recovered from their injuries. Who woulda thunk it?” and, 2) “Wow, look at all these uber talented players running around making plays on both sides of the ball. Amazing what “letting the dogs out” has done in just a few months. Cannot wait to show SpurDawg my new philosophy.”

“Wow” is a great descriptor for your team plus your enthusiasm of what they bring. He’s been there for every practice including a still-secret ST practice. He has seen athleticism from players on this team and “Wow” is the best one-word descriptor. He’s honest and he doesn’t use sales puffery. Too bad it doesn’t mean shit to some of us while the more moribund quote from Spurrier appeals to you.
I think he means all the “Wow” factors listed by Bluto and much more. It’s the most excited and exciting remark of them all (and I’ll bet it has legs in the media).

Spurrier’s is fantastic, and is the reason I can not help but love the guy. Perhaps it’s because I matriculated late enough to only see him beat us once at Florida, but the SEC will be a worse place when he retires. He’s also probably the best coach in the SEC, a step ahead of Saban and a couple steps ahead of Miles and Richt.

Careful about trusting Phil Knight and his band’s promises. They have had this contract for over 15 years and he couldn’t get it done. All the while turning out every conceivable combination of yellow and green for the Ducks. Getting a material and dye married in China isn’t that hard is it?

My guess is it’s about his sentiment for his guys as people (or at least the majority of them) and as a football family. I doubt it’s football-skill related.
