Maybe he was nervous but..." He teached me " ?
Thats the only negative I took away from our new coach's presser. Otherwise I am psyched for next season.

I chuckled at that... but honestly overall he is very well spoken. He is 10x the public speaker Andersen was. Calm, cool, collected and said a whole lot of the right things. |

With how a lot of folks were portraying JS, I was expecting a meek, mild, mumbler... He was the exact opposite! Well spoken, clear, had a message, seemed honest and authentic. Laughed, improvised, actually listened to the questions and answered them...
I still can't place my finger on his accent... he has a slight drawl or something... or maybe he was just amped up for his first press conference as a Head Coach!

They have a unique accent in Glendora, Cali. 🤪 |

I also heard lent for leaned. Probably a word but not accustomed to it. I imagine at 38, first HC job(at a P5 school nonetheless) and coming home to the pressure of raising the Lazarus Beavers he was a bit nervous.

I was going to say that he spent a decade, more than a quarter of his life, in Idaho and Montana. Plus, with the number of Southern coaches, the rest of the coaches tend to develop a slight drawl, because that is who they interact with. |

He was certainly 10x more genuine than I felt Andersen was in his early press conferences. |

I've always thought that Jonathan had the slightest of lisps, didn't notice that today. I'm wondering if he's purposely worked on his public speaking over the years or if it just came with the job and he's getting adjusted to it. I also thought he was pretty darned choked up until he got about halfway through his thank yous. It had to be an emotional event for him. |

I did not catch it all, but Smith did not sound confident to me (he was not alone). He is still trying to sell himself. What he does will determine whether we buy in or not. |

Sure sounded confident to me.
His accent and inflections don't sound any different to me than when he was a player. Maybe from Glendora, but he has a Bakersfield/Central Valley attitude. He is not SoCal mellow.

Showed genuine emotion and sincerity. That, and he talked about being authentic. After what we just when through, with a guy that spoke only in coach-speak and ideologue notion... We had an incredible lack of authenticity. We had a fraud on our hands. Being genuine is going to help. It will help kids trust the coaches and feel good about their place and themselves. I can't imagine Smith is ever going to be a coach that benches a star player, then dodges questions about it and makes up some half hearted excuse about a terrible game plan. |

His first presser, he's nervous and it's quite easy to screw up your verbal etiquette under those circumstances. I'm sure that he'd say "taught" rather than "teached" in a one-on-one conversation. Tough crowd here, eh??? |
