Holy cow this guy is the complete opposite of Bobby Petrino.

Few takeaways as I watch/watched this presser:
  • Right off the bat, CSS and President Bendapudi clicked
  • Vince really emphasized key game analytics/metrics then followed it up with his character and fit at UofL
    • i.e. run to pass ratio; defensive efficiency, etc. -- I'm really glad to hear about how he determined the candidates
  • CSS' excitement is obvious and authentic
  • He reminds me a lot of Dabo Swinney (not just because of the accent)
  • CSS' focus on playing for the "other 10" and family culture is something we really need and will resonate well
    • He mentioned that he wants the staff and players to naturally want to be at the football complex working... it can't feel forced
  • Vince just went through a dozen players by name and talked about their skill sets and how good of a roster we actually have. This is a level of detail beyond any AD I've seen.
  • Vince said this hire feels as good or better than the other hires he's made. That is a STRONG statement
