Says he likes TOUGH football players, receivers who like to get physical in the running game, and says o-line is center to the success of HIS football team.
Also when asked about Henry/McGahee says the main thing he is doing not only with them, but the rest of the players is evaluating their talents so the system can be built around them. NOT forcing a system onto the players so that they fail or a "series" will fail.
I like the narrow thinking of series to series, trying to string together possesion time and 1st downs.
I hate to do comparisons in philosophy with a coach that hasn't coached a down but I liken his approach to a Gibbs/Schottenheimer/Parcells team. (remember Otis Anderson in the SB, that kind of team.)
During our search I was very pro Kirk Ferentz because his philosophies mirrored the above, and it seems that Mularkey is from the same school of thought.
Let's just see how firm he holds to it.:boozer:
