DeBoer and information
I'm not complaining, mind you. Just marveling.

Not being a complete dick to the media definitely helps. He’s been very embracing towards them and helpful in so many other ways that they’re willing to just take any answer he gives them and move on.

I've always thought that the college football practice of not having injury reports was petty AF, but DeBoer definitely saved the season with how he managed information coming out of the locker room.

After the way the committee did FSU dirty, there's no reason to ever have injury reports again.BleachedAnusDawg said:I've always thought that the college football practice of not having injury reports was petty AF, but DeBoer definitely saved the season with how he managed information coming out of the locker room.
In theory if FSU had been saying Jordan Travis is ahead of schedule all year and will be back for the bowl, they might have got in. -
Winning is the best perfume
Plus DeBoer has the rabble thanks to his circuses at the Coliseum
But the mob is fickle

Fuck the fans' and media's "right to know"

Like I tell my kids, there's no need to lie if you just keep your mouth shut.

Answer every question with,
"He's day to day."
"He's working really hard every day to get back."
"He's close."
"Something may have happened there."
"He might have got dinged a little, he's fine."
"I didn't really see it."
"As far as I know he's fine."
"He was in the locker room after the game with his teammates"
"I'll have to check with the training staff."
He's so down to earth and open with his non committal answers that Seattle media just lets it go. Softy, Vorel and Caple won't press too hard because they get pretty damn good access to the program. Waaaaaay more than Petersen ever allowed. DeBoer actually wants those guys writing articles, wants them doing podcasts, he wants his coaches doing interviews with Softy on the radio, he wants whatever juice this city can muster. Hell, he let Softy do an entire two hour show from the recruiting lounge after the AC last year. Coaches, players and DeBoer himself all sat for interviews. It was the best content Softy and Doog Fain have ever put out. If its archived somewhere I actually recommend listening. Media access and a controlled narrative are key, DeBoer understands this and for that he will always get away with his canned non answers. He's the boss.

DeBoer has been on Gameday and McAfee's show multiple times this season. He gets it. Petersen would NEVER have been on the McAfee show while he was coaching.

Tbf the media in Seattle, while not always FOR the program, is lightweight(sorry Nacho) and mostly uninterested in football these days.theknowledge said:Answer every question with,
