Overtime With Dillon Sanders
1. What is your favorite thing about coaching your position?
Inside linebackers are kind of like the quarterbacks of the defense, and being a former quarterback myself, the thing I like about them is you are working with guys that have to be intelligent and have to be big time play makers. In our defense, these guys will be responsible for making a lot of the plays. I think we have guys that are going to be capable of doing that in our inside linebacker room, which is good. All that being said, I think it is going to be a fun position to coach this year.
Â
2. What's the funniest thing to happen to you in or around football?
Meetings, in general, are always funny especially with coaches. I think whenever you are on a good staff, I think your defensive staff meetings are fun and funny. Really, just being around the right type of guys that have good personalities, I think always keeps it lively, but I don't know if there is one specific thing.
Â
3. What is your favorite stadium that you have ever played or coached at?
I'm pretty partial to what is now Kroger Field at Kentucky, I thought that was a pretty awesome atmosphere. For an away stadium, one of the best ones that I've ever been at was South Carolina when we played there in my second year at Kentucky, it was a really awesome atmosphere and they do a good job of getting everyone pumped up and it made for a fun game.
