66 Days Coach Matt Adkins

Post by ANGCatFan »

Adkins is in his first year as Arizona's tight end coach and passing game coordinator. He is one of the youngest coaches on the staff, but the fact that he was named passing game coordinator shows how much faith Coach Brennan has in him.

Adkins is a 3rd generation football coach. His dad was head coach at Humbodt State from 2000-2007 and his grandfather is the winningest coach in Central Washington University history and a member of the Washington State Football Coaches Hall of Fame. Adkins was a QB in college at both Shasta College and Southern Oregon and graduated in 2012. San Jose State was his first D1 coaching job and he has been their tight end coach since 2019.

We have the largest group of tight ends I have ever seen at Arizona, and we should expect to see a lot of 2 tight end sets and an expanded tight end passing game.







T-Mac's best receiving game last year was against the scum where he caught for 266 yards.

ANG, how far in advance do you plan these posts out?

The detail, the videos, the fun facts, the insights… I’m in awe.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

He just pulls it out of his ass every morning. It's all made up.

Pulling it out of my ass every morning is pretty close. I just look at what interests me on each player and coach. This year I am searching the day number in last year's stats pdf and pulling out what ever stat I think is the most important for this year's team.

Most importantly, it saves my marriage because my wife doesn't have to listen to me ramble about Wildcat football because I can do it on line.

Seconded in a big way. Thank you ANG! You make the summer doldrums a whole lot more interesting.

A poster over at Wildcat Authority was missing this series that ANG does every year. And we get it for free!

Yea, thanks Ang. It's nice to read about the non-stars. Don't think I have missed a day for years, outside of the JDL fiasco, but nothing to do with you.
