Very interesting and optimistic.
CCH interview with Dan
Great job as usual
FYI, if anyone has a few million$$ laying around, sounds like they could use lights on the grass practice fields and/or a new weight room

Key takeaway - the last two times FU finished 3-8 we made the playoffs the next season. 
Some observations that will not be news to members of this forum:
Injuries - 6 ACL, 20 surgeries! Before we played a game! Guys we meant to RS who started. Secondary "we lost all those guys" 3 safeties and Caleb played at 75%.
Offense - acknowledged that we struggled to run it. gently critical of the RB position. Acknowledgement of how valuable Huff was.
"...some interesting things we dealt with..." No kidding. Player dies. Unprecedented series of injuries. Best offensive player charged with voyeruism and kicked off team/out of school. Campus closed for week/game canceled due to hurricane in mountains.
"... we weathered the transfer portal well...." outside Hinton no critical losses, and given early reports on King, we MAY have traded up, plus the OL and DB adds... we done good. But nice short point on "transfer credit" as this is a real limitation in our ability to hit the portal.
Exit interviews - I suspect that "why did so many guys get hurt, is there anything we can do" was a recurring theme.
Jayquan Smith callout - won't practice this Spring. 216 lb. But you listen between the lines, we won't really know until August how much we can count on him. Really hopeful he can come through but they are obviously taking is slow and trying to get it right.
Trey Hedden - lives in the office, watching film, has lost 12 pounds... hard to underestimate what it means that he is doing these kinds of things and getting in better shape.
A lot of our issues are fixable, really like where we are program wise. Acknowledges we are learning and changing.
Overall, Clay's general sense and combination of humility and strength. He is the right guy for Furman.
