Talked to my locker room source yesterday. (Former SEC D player whose nephew is a defensive starter). Demeco’s first year hasn’t been without growing pains. It’s been a challenge to keep the defensive players, coordinators, and position coaches on the same page, and there have been times when the HC has felt “shown up” by a player or coach who was showing leadership initiative. To his credit, he’s self aware enough to recognize when he needs to address and even apologize when things get heated. It’s cool seeing the maturation from a player’s perception. I will say that if the secondary blows a coverage or miscommunicates and gives up a big play or score, that gets analyzed at all levels and used as a learning opportunity. What we as fans see as somebody missing a coverage or tackle and think “so and so sucks or is a bust” gets the microscope in the film room with coaches and players discussing what look they were seeing, what to watch for, what instinct to trust. It’s fascinating. Oh, and I passed along our love for Hannah.
