At Camp, Praise for the ‘Head Counselor’
A little more than a week into his first training camp as a head coach, Aaron Glenn has made an emphatic impact on his players, young and old, holdovers and newcomers, offense and defense.
CB Isaiah Oliver: “How you see him is literally how he is every day, which I think is the coolest thing. Just that super intense, all about ball, competitive guy. Knowing him from afar, just as a coach in the NFL, that’s how I always saw him, but you never know if that’s how they’re walking up and down the building, but that’s just how he is. So, I think that’s really cool and I’m excited, for sure.”
RB Breece Hall: “I just like the way he communicates. It’s not passive, it’s very to the point. He tells you what he needs from you, how he wants things done, and he doesn’t sugarcoat anything because he’s played before. He knows what we’re going through, what we’ve been through, so it’s cool to see how he goes about his business, how he treats everybody, how he acknowledges everything and everyone. As I said he’s very straight and to the point.”
RG Alijah Vera-Tucker: “He praises physicality, but even more, accountability. I think that’s very important for a head coach to do. That’s something I haven’t seen as much of in my career.
QB Justin Fields: “AG is great, he’s awesome, super personal when it comes to not only speaking to me, not only our relationship, but everyone’s relationship. I’ve been saying this for a long time now, he’s straightforward with it, he keeps it very blunt, but I think our relationship is very good when it comes to that, personally, and just being on the same page on how we want to lead this team, so he’s great for sure.”
WR Garrett Wilson: “I want to make sure I don’t miss my moment while it’s going on right now. Take it all in and try to make sure I’m really honing these details. At the end of the day he was a DB, so if he watches me and said you rose up or that route wasn’t that, he’s got the same mindset as the dudes I’m going to be going against, so it’s valuable info and he’s got a lot of them a lot of value info a lot of valuable nuggets that all of the guys are just trying to take in right now and see how he likes things done.”
RB Braelon Allen: “It’s been great. He’s a great coach, great leader. I’ve enjoyed everything that he’s about, I love everything he’s about. I’ve enjoyed everything he’s had us doing. I’m very excited to play for him.”
