Interview – Matthew Symmes

Listen here.

After a bit of trash talk on Twitter, Coach Symmes took some time out of a Wednesday evening to talk about ECU football, his coaching career in college and the NFL and, of course, Duke football. Coach Symmes coached at Duke during the Cutcliffe era before moving onto Indiana where he worked with current Blue Devil OC Kevin Johns. Coach Symmes also had stops at Florida, USC (the one in South Carolina) and with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Here’s the Twitter exchange that led to the interview

During this informative conversation, you’ll learn about what a defensive analyst does, the challenging life of a coach and what made the 2013 Duke team so special. We’ll give Symmes a pass for thinking that Indiana made the field goal at the end of the Pinstripe Bowl. I think his glasses were broken or something. Oh, and we mention Miami. Blerg.

Go Duke!

Interview – ACC Season Preview with Dan Siegel

Listen here.

Those of you who follow the ACC closely probably get information from Dan Siegel. Dan hosts the eponymously named The Dan Siegel Show where he covers all things ACC. It’s a great podcast that you should listen to.

Dan stopped by to give us his thoughts on what to expect from the ACC this football season. As you might expect, the Coastal is up for grabs whereas the Atlantic is likely to be won by one of three teams. Dan also educates us about his recent Twitter disaster which caused him to set up a new account. Let’s hope all of his listeners find him – he’s a great source of information.

We hope you enjoy the episode. Let us know what you think in the comments or on Twitter. As a heads up, the Miami game was mentioned during the episode and I said a few choice words. Sorry, but it was time. And please let me know if you think I should do a special episode specifically about the Miami game. The idea would be that I would edit all the discussion we have so far about the game into one episode.

Go Duke!
