Sports talk you're talking about it. I'm talking proof we're talking about this radio drive with Josh Graham. We are the triad phone for Appalachian State all in the fall when I'll be enjoying by the head coach of the mountaineers, Sean Clark and coach. Obviously, everybody's been affected by what's going on with coded 19 and how things have been shut down. Heck, even the steer in the triad just looking around town. Everything shut down as things are in the entire state.

Because of this, the order that the Roy Cooper made effective yesterday at 5 o'clock but give me a sense into what your world looks like, how much of your day is spent just checking in on your players will place the healthy first place to sleep in place to eat daily and racial are healthier life goes on to get one of Tom's right now the extreme measures checking your kids ventilator for in general, are you a phone call, text or FaceTime guy. Well, I used to be a phone call guy with your phone call don't text right back. But now that I played would like to see face-to-face interaction. The players have a great conversation with how much of the change is that when you were playing because for me. I was told this. Just last week I called somebody in radio.

They picked up the phone and responded with weight you still call people like people think it's so invasive it's almost like you just showed up at their house people view phone calls that way all the girls go to work for what he wanted phone up and expect the worst that change in technology, my 10-year-old so promising times told me he's he's integrated Jesus into his texting. Are you in the mode you got well I am sounds a lot away but the coldness I guess you would call it the role of state head football coach Sean Clark with the seas on Twitter@_S. Mark, do you think with an older team one you have that the culture of winning is already set or do you find yourself being a little disappointed now that you're in the big chair that you are able to integrate elements cultural elements yet you wanted to implement this spring will culture. A great example of that big over 30 years working on that tradition. This past year. Eli came in and looked at his own flavor to it. But again, even with the past was like here and I know what makes this program pick your own little spill things again as well as progress not will start with the right kind of kids who want to work on occasion championship grade ingredients for us last 30 years will continue to take Satterfield seem to be a younger head football coach and SDS Eli drink with the same way when since you work with both those guys. What do you view as the biggest difference between what they did because the success looked very similar I think it is called frames are only learn about the last five years, but both guys are great football coaches have great careers and we will think all of our program it sound like with this app state head football coach kind enough to spend time here. So when you're talking about putting your own spin on things. What's the first thing you think that because the last time we were talking you were mentioning how a guy like say Matt rule was just hired to be the Panthers had cut and being all offensive line coach and that being part of his background that's going to change the identity of what the Panthers are and I feel like it might be the same thing considering your background and what your role is now with that state will without question, we were willing to run the football course on speed. On the flipside, I would also support vertical integrated gradient. Your 20 from a coaching and all the great things out then on the run the football play great now is one the result going back to still chose to about he understands what great are about 25 years in the parcel great championship football teams and what I want defendant in a row on offense and duration of the mountain. How are you telling your players what advice are you in your strength coach giving players in order to stay in shape during this time it first came out recently.

Also, the moment we settle work outside of that year we played close so work ongoing old-school push-ups set up to walk back and little lucky, lucky for him to stop and would get creative now and are straight" by letting great job singing contact and the cards were built in the same boat right now and insert it was happening, but it will take in seeking popular players. Make sure the right things.

How many push-ups how many situps right now. For coach Clark. Not very many.

I'm a schoolteacher from 11:52 that work about 1230 to about 7 o'clock at night and that he recruited calls from 7 to 9 so that was tough workout that will work more strict as an elementary school teacher, then you are a football coach without question really, how was Mathis change the last 30 years on the lessons homework. I know the answer to how to get there first race will a great routine. Here we are going fix the school day breakfast and restart Pledge of Allegiance school in your living room at the moment in your life you carried over to this way you put it over the top on this side of the equation and the kid is annoyed and just think that's not how they teach us how to do it that many apartments are how we get the same answer, but how I do understand so you got blessed yeah, they deserve a raise and maybe more Clark with Us Here at State Football Program.
