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!
