Cece is 252lbs. Way lighter than I'd expect.

This is, by far, the best press conference that he has given. He's actually answering questions. Says the offense struggled because of OL but that is now a strength. Says he was brought in to revitalize the offense and win games. And when it comes to winning games he had to bluff a little bit and scrap a claw to make it happen.

hmm... that makes me think things may very well be getting better. I'd have to believe if it weren't looking better, or if he actually meant all that "weve played well, we got to atlanta, the offense has done a good job, LDR is 5-1" talk he's done the last 2 years, then he wouldnt be basically saying he was bluffing before.
Crossing my fingers the coaches are seeing things that indicate we might actually be functional on offense.

No doubt the offensive line hindered the offense, especially in 2015, but I'm pretty sure poor QB play was a problem too.

Well – he did say that Del Rio would have been 5-0 if he had not played him against Arkansas.

TLDL.
I exceeded my AND YET quota for the year around January 5th.

So I guess he thought the Defensive Tackle Fairy was going to put some under his pillow if he wished hard enough.
This fvkktard just figured this out, huh?
Why doesn't anyone ask him why he didn't bother to recruit DTs in his first two classes?

Having these relatively light DEs and LBs is going to have Michigan running the ball right at us even more.

He really didn't need to lose weight, he was fast enough, but he just wasn't big enough to take on two 315 pound SEC C/Gs and play inside. Maybe he felt he lost a step or maybe he just did it because it was the only way to move back outside.

This is disappointing to hear. He specifically said (in the spring) that he intended to get over 260 by the fall. If he's 252 now, that means he likely loses a few pounds during camp (right?). Very disappointing...

Without a doubt it's his best PC, and one of the rare times he actually looks legitimately comfortable up there. Not only did he answer their questions, he also allowed the reporters to finish their question, which was a real pet peeve of mine. I think it's obvious he's been coached up in that regard, because as the interview drug on, he reverted back to some of his old habits. I counted 11 "and yet"s, with 9 occurring in the the back stretch, and just about everyone in the last 20 minutes or so was interrupted with some form of corny joke or a rushed answer. Still light years better than the past.
I appreciate the blunt nature of his assessment, and his not making any excuses or setting the stage for not quite getting it done. Even with injuries, he essentially said that, within reason, all teams face the same challenge of keeping themselves healthy. Multiple times mentioned "putting the heat" on the team, himself and assistants. You can see that there's definitely no lack of confidence. And unlike previous years where he admittedly felt they were fighting just to survive, he expects to win this year, with this group. Talk is cheap, but I have to say I liked the energy.
