Per CJ:
Two weeks ago Medved allowed The Athletic a full-access, behind-the-scenes look at his program for three days, and it’s no wonder he wasn’t worried about any secrets getting out. Inside the CSU walls, they speak another language.
“If we go dodger,” Medved says at a Friday staff meeting as he talks through the UNLV game plan, “you can go wolf or tiger.”
Over the next few minutes, he mentions waves, Ohio, snake cuts, the jungle, Canada and “smoking him out of the room.” The coaches decide they’re going to add a wrinkle to a snake cut, and spend a few minutes trying to come up with a name for it.
Lizard? Flame? Raptor?
“A cobra?” assistant coach Tim Shelton says, raising his eyebrows.
“A cobra,” Medved says, letting it marinate for a few seconds as the other coaches all nod. “That’s not terrible. Anything that’s sticky is just good for the guys. If they chuckle at it and they think it’s funny, that’s the s— they remember.”
Put it in the playbook!
