Last Question Answered by Coach Kill
One of the great things about Coach Kill is that he is a teacher first. The following is the last question he answered at the presser. In it he talked about teaching life lessons. This is another reason why coach kill may be different. It is also clear that the players are kept very busy. I suspect as a result one of the skills they are learning is how to manage their time and their emotions.
Q. Will your players have a schedule every minute that they're there considering it is Vegas?
COACH KILL: Yeah. We won't stay on site. We won't be downtown Vegas. That's the one thing, even through two a day camp, even now we got them on a pretty tight schedule. Right before you got here we had a professional team. We kept them pretty regimented and we don't allow them a lot of time because this is the time you can. This is the time we can within the NCAA rules, and then you get into school it gets tougher because they go right from practice and have classes.
It's just different than the NFL. This is kind of the time where we can be a little bit like the NFL and we can get a lot done. And we do a lot more than just the football part of it. We've had a lot of speakers and people come in and talk about life lessons and all the problems there is in society and so forth. We try to do that during this period of time. So we've kept their schedules awful heavy, which has been good and they've handled it well. Thank you. Appreciate it.
