Kevin McLeod? Ran into him at a bar and talked with him for a while about the NFL, Auburn, etc...so I got a little inside information! (just kidding, its not inside at all, but I enjoyed talking with him)
On Terry Bowden:
Couldn't stand the man. Said he couldn't believe the difference in Bowden during recruiting and as a coach. Said that by his last year, he honest to god didn't know a bunch of the younger guys on the teams name. Bowden was more interested in chasing the girls around Auburn. Described him as a slick used-car salesman. (I'm pretty sure we all already knew that!) I just couldn't believe the part about not even knowing a lot of guys names.
On our offensive line class:
He said he hung around for some pre-season workouts and helped out with some camps and stuff. Said that our current offensive line class will be unbelievable in 2 years. Lee Ziemba could go pro after his junior year if he wants to. The thing that stood out to me was about the personalities on the field. He said they were mean sob's and that is what makes the difference on the line. Ziemba, Pugh, Ramsey have a boxers mentality. He said on the field they play with that chip on their shoulder, mean mentality that you rarely see in white guys! haha
On Brad Lester:
he was upset that "Slash" had screwed up and had to miss the first 5 games. He said the guy will definitely play in the NFL if he can keep it together and play a full season next year. He described him as a more talented Warrick Dunn.
On the future:
He firmly believes that if Kodi or Caudle can play a Craig Krenzel/Matt Mauck role, that we could be looking at back to back SEC Championships in '08 and '09 if things fall our way...
I particularly thought the stuff about our offensive line was funny and reassuring at the same time.
