Oh no -- Spring Practice early report.
"The thing that stood out to me is our energy," Malzahn said. "A lot of positive energy, guys flying around, guys wanting to be coached. A lot of energy out of the coaching staff too.==============================
March - Spring practice going very well. We've kept our staff intact from last week, and that's important for continuity.
Spring is when you build your football team.
April - All QBs have things to work on, but I'm happy with the improvement. It will still be an open competition when fall camp begins.
May - Effective summer workouts are critical. It's when you build your football team.
June - Your call is important to us, but we're on vacation.
July - It was good of Coach Tuberville to visit us again. He and Jay had lots to talk about. I'm happy with sharing BBQ strategies with other coaching staffs.
August - They're jumping around like newborn colts. I'm happy with their energy.
Fall camp is when you build your football team.
We have seven wideouts poised for breakout seasons. Good depth there.
We'll name the QB starter at halftime of the Clemson game.
September - The positive is we learned where we are and the areas in which we need to improve. Don't forget that Clemson should have won the national championship game last year, and they have everybody back except 14 starters.
October - I thought a change may give us a spark.
All of them are at practice today. Just some dings, bumps, bruises, bangs, durps, foggids, mydows, that sort of thing. We expect all of them to play Saturday, including Carl if his cast comes off by Friday.
November (guest writer) - Everything is in place for MBB. We'll be an NCAA tournament team. One more recruiting cycle will provide depth. With the addition of Shaquille O'Neal to the staff, we will lead the league in free throw shooting. Best team we've had since '60.
December - We want to win it, of course, but what's really important is getting the young players practice time before we depart for Branson Dec. 16. The secondary will not be making the trip due to violations of team rules.
January - We are happy with the vote of confidence from the Administration. We had a lot of unfortunate injuries this season.
We appreciate Coach Steele's contributions to the defense and wish him the best.
Winter workouts is when you build your football team.
February - We thought we'd make it more fun by having the fans select our '17 team theme, but "Can't anybody here catch a football?" could be interpreted as a negative, so we changed it to, "Auburn Football - Catch it! Please."
I'm happy with this class. Signing 17 DBs is unusual, but obviously we are starting over there plus we think some of them may be able to help us at other positions down the road.
