Topic: Doc, 6-1 Herd having fun again

“They’re a fun bunch to be around right now, and a fun bunch to coach,” he said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. “Because they do like each other, they hold each other accountable, and they do a great job.”

They’re back to cutting up, in the context of still being serious about their duties. For example, quarterback Chase Litton and tight end Ryan Yurachek trade barbs often.

“The play they ran against Charlotte and I missed him on, we ran in practice,” Litton said. “He turned around and said, ‘Hey, Chase, try not to miss me on this one.’ I said, ‘Bro, don’t get tackled at the 1-yard line.’ ”

Litton referred to a pass at Middle Tennessee in which Yurachek couldn’t quite reach the goal line. As it turned out, that broke Litton’s streak of 27 games with a touchdown pass.

That’s unimportant, but a source of fun nonetheless

And finally, Holliday couldn’t resist a tongue-in-cheek comment about Tyler King’s hurdling of a defender, which was the No. 6 play in ESPN’s SportsCenter Top 10.

“We coach it every day in practice,” Holliday joked.

This was my favorite part of the article.  Doc is showing some personality.  Doc is having more fun as a coach as you can see him being more enthusiastic on the sideline with the players.

It's great to hear and see the camaraderie this year. It goes a long way and a huge intangible for teams.
