It’s their time to shine!

It was media day at Mizzou Spring Football camp on Monday, but for an unlikely set of folks: Mizzou’s assistant coaches. New guys Blake Baker, Al Pogue, Kevin Peoples and more sat down for interviews with the media and covered a vast number of topics from personnel, strategy, new recruits and more.

• Bush Hamdan spoke about his work with Tyler Macon, whom he insists can do things on the field that no one on the roster can do.
• Sounds like Al Davis is quite the popular man in the locker room.

• Chris Kwiecinski wrote about Blake Baker’s adjustments to his new role as DC, including how he’ll use Steve Wilks’ old terminology and concepts in 2022.

“We do want to try to carry over as much as possible from a terminology standpoint,” Baker said Monday. ”Sometimes we’re able to do that very easily and sometimes it just doesn’t maybe mesh with what we’ve done in the past from a terminology standpoint.”

• You can watch all the full interviews from the assistants on ABC 17’s website, along with their broadcast story about the day from Nathalie Jones.
