Excellent questions, thank you.

Head coach in waiting for sure .......... Very impressive !

[Stallion]

I seriously doubt it.

[mrydel]

Good interview.

[Horseshoe]

What say we tap the brakes on this "head coach in waiting" talk - wasn't that same label applied to Jason Phillips?
Terrific interview. Coach Traylor seems like a great guy.

[JoeKidd]

Great interview, thank you for this.

[SMUFan]

Loved the part about recruiting at schools that used to be his rivals -- bodes well for getting players from east Texas.

Some people are confused by his title of "Associate Head Coach". No one on staff will be the next HC.

[Pony Up]

When you asked whether he feels like he'll have his puck of East Texas players, his answer looked like he was saying what he thought he should say ... but that he still feels like he'll clean up out there.
Great interview.

Who was it that was "trying to be funny" and made Coach laugh?

Nice cameo by Siri in the interview!

[PonyPride]

I'm pretty sure it was Coach Fry standing behind me, trying to make Coach Traylor laugh ... and succeeding.
