He is so honest (sometimes to a fault).  He tells the truth and if Aztec fans don't like it, so be it.  I love his interviews...

Is there something in that interview that Aztec fans don't like?
I listened to about the first 5 minutes and it sounds all-rosy to me.

I watched almost the whole thing, and I’d say while he opened quite happy and light spirited, coming off as very optimistic about the season and about pursuing a conference championship, he becomes sober talking about Bryce Love returning, and he does tell it the way it is when he talks about the resource differences between Power 5 and non-Power 5 programs, which may be news to some fans who don’t follow the money game.

The part I most disagreed with was around the 16 minute mark when he talks about how student athletes should not be able to transfer if the coach leaves, because, like a coach, student athletes have signed a contract and should have to fulfill that contract. He compares coaches to students, and says that coaches have to pay a price for breaking a contract (multi-million dollar buyouts), and players should have to pay a price (sit a year) if they break theirs. I don’t think that is a proper comparison. Coaches are paid, often millions of dollars. Coaches’ new employers can buy out their contracts, players usually cannot. But sheesh, these are student athletes, and they should have the opportunity to get the education and development that is best for them. I agree with some transfer limitations, otherwise i fear some programs will bring in kids just to gain access to an opponent’s playbook, but I don’t think contracts and lawyers should be forcing student athletes to be someplace they don’t want to be.
