Altitude Sports Craig Bohl interview

[DocHolliday]

I was very much looking forward to this piece that aired on Altitude tonight, watched it, and came away completely disappointed with the final results.

Why Julie Browman (an AWFUL interviewer) and a few cameraman came up to Laramie is lost on me.

She asked inane questions throughout, spent so much time talking about Coach Bohl's jaunts in Nebraska & in Fargo...very little about his current position or the vision for POKES Football...and the ridiculousness of the final few questions ('Who would you most likely want to be stuck in an elevator with?") was pathetically absurd.

At media day today after Coach Bohl was finished speaking to the assembled throng of media dorks, I wanted to grab a helmet and go out and level someone...this is how inspirational and motivating Coach Bohl was today. The man commanded the room speaking in an extemporaneous fashion for 15 minutes before taking a few questions, his heart, his emotional investment in this so clearly evident to anyone in that room today.

Browman and the Altitude folks left so much meat on the bone with what turned out to be a pretty meaningless interview that could have - and should have been - so much more.

The lack of follow up questions by the media was disappointing.

The Altitude interview didn't have much substance, but what's CB supposed to say that hasn't already been said?

The lack of follow up questions by the media was disappointing.

I thought the same thing. There are quite a few questions that should have been asked, including:

(1) Sure Capt'n Kirk is the best you have right now, but can he complete a 15 yard pass with any frequency? Who would you put as #2 heading into fall camp?
(2) The line is a work in progress. Will they be able to open a hole in this league?
(3) What are your thoughts on the linebackers? They are sort of important in the Tampa 2.
(4) You mention the kicking game and its importance, what are your thoughts on your punters and placekickers?
(5) A lot of emphasis has been placed on strength and conditioning. Where have you seen improvement? Where, specifically, would you like to see more?
(6) Your receivers can catch...can they block?
(7) What are your expectations and thoughts for TE?
(8) Same question with FB.
(9) Montana is ranked No. 5 in the FCS coaches poll - in your mind, how does that compute in FBS terms?

Sure, he likely doesn't have any meaningful answers after the first practice without pads, but to ask nothing? Hell, ask about the uniforms and helmets if nothing else...they seem to be a point of fan interest judging by this board.
