I only caught the very beginning of the interview, but thought it was somewhat relevant to other discussions here.
Coach Brandon: "So my son called the other day and said, 'Man people on the internet are saying you coach like Homer Simpson, and I said, well, they may be right." (or something like that, you get the point) Glad he recognizes that he has some flaws. D'oh!

He also said that tonight at the radio show at Fricker's.

Today at the student union GB gave a speech about school spirit and how he wanted everyone at the game. Omar, Teddy, and Mike Thaler were there behind him. He also mentioned in a joking matter the "he was not the coach on Wednesday night."

That's a great thing for him to do!! I hope a LOT of students come to the game. And his comments about coaching, well, you have to admire a guy who can do that. Being able to poke fun at yourself is a good thing!!
Can't wait for Saturday and some home cookin'.....I believe OWL is on the menu that day!!!
GO BG!!!
FALCONS FOREVER!!!

I think he said that his son told him someone on the internet says Homer Simpson could coach better than you.
What are the odds its in reference to me with my avatar & nickname? LOL...

Yeah, I was kinda surprised to hear him say that , shows atleast that he knows he's got growing up to do as a head coach.

We may have a winner!
Seriously, I know Coach Brandon wants to win as badly as anyone. Has he made mistakes? Sure, plenty. But he's also done a hell of a job at BGSU.
I like a guy that can laugh at himself and doesn't take things too seriously.
Regardless of the opponent on Saturday, we're gonna see a focused, business approach. BG is gonna start kicking tail. The MAC Title is all that matters....the MAC Title.
PACK THE DOYT!!! FALCON FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME!!!
