Never been to Super Duper Weenie, never even heard of it until now.

I've heard Lou Holtz speak numeropus times and once you get through the lisp and the slobbering his words do make sense and normally mean something. Reading a transcript (and not needing to sort through the obstacles of his speech), similar to we were able to do with P's comments, ad there would be nothing to ve concerned with.
I've heard many Yogi-isms and with most of them, after some analysis you can see what he was attempting to say and realize thaat there was a good amount of logic and truth in those statements.
What P stated 9in the two passages where I responded 'Huh?', can only be compared to Casey Stengel, very late in his Yankee career when he would nod out in the dugout during the game and when a decision needed to be made, would be woken by one of the players, ask Yogi what the situation was and then (depending on how much of what Yogi said sunk in) either make a decision or ask Yogi what he would do (and then do that).
I've heard coach speak for decades. If either of the two passages in question were attempts at coach speak (talking in a circle to say nothing while answering a question he doesn't want to answer), they were coach speak from someone with no background in the subject matter and little experience in fielding questions. I find it alarming that he couldn't get around what he was attempting to get around without sounding like a buffoon. He's been doing this for too long.
I also realize that it is quite possible for a competent person to misspeak on occasion. I do find the comments on Gifford and the two weeks on a row getting behind to be cause for concern however as either the former was a very blatant misstatement (and Gifford has been taking second unit reps, when fully healthy for the time he has been the #2 LT) which for a head coach is not much different from a department manager not remembering which of his employees has what responsibilities or we are running our practices differently than what has been the standard for more than half a century (in and of itself not necessarily an issue but the results do speak volumes of the effectiveness) employed by basically every successful college football program. The Temple statement however is just mind-boggling on how he can be so clueless on what happened a week earlier. If a head coach doesn't know this, I don't know what to say.
