In his weekly segment with SicEm365 Radio, former Baylor defensive coordinator Phil Bennett discusses what he saw from Baylor in their most recent game as well as what happened around college football over the weekend.
The episode was downloaded and listened to by almost 20K people. That is nearly 10% of Waco or 12.5% of all living Baylor alumni.Stranger said:
I thought we were rid of Bennett. He was not particularly held in high esteem when he was in Waco. Nobody ever asked his opinion in those days. Guess he's bored. Can Smoak not find anybody else to put on the radio these days?
The only people that miss him were down at El Chico and now they've closed up

Must have been a slow news day. The 'rona has caused boredom to set in.

Keep bringing Phil back after every game. Most "non-triggered" types enjoy his humor and knowledge of the game. In fact, it would be great to hear from CAB again soon.
We appreciate your support.ImABearToo said:
Thanks Brian. Love what you guys are doing. Baylor Nation is lucky to have SicEm365.
He mentioned why.PartyBear said:
I appreciate this and Phil for being gracious and not bitter about everything from the past. It is interesting that of all the places he coached in his career (and it has been alot) it is Baylor game analysis and for Baylor alums and fans he is willing to provide.
Stranger, you act like Bennett is nothing to you, but you've taken the time to post about this segment twice in a week. Why?Stranger said:

I know, believe me, there were some frustrating moments, but I don't know if anyone will ever understand what a DC has to deal with when in the same system as the offense they ran under AB.PartyBear said:
He was held in high esteem by most. There were some posters here and on baylorfans who didnt like the era at all in general.
I always liked Bennett. He was my top choice for Briles' DC hire and I defended him often and vociferously on this site's predecessor. He wasn't perfect, but he made our defense significantly better during his time in Waco, and -- unlike most of Briles' staff -- he never lost sight of the of the fact that he was there in 2016 for the players. He never checked out when many others did, and I respect that.PartyBear said:

and no reason to tear him down 4+ years later.TrustTheProcess said:
PB knew exactly what the Administration did to the program.
Feel for the guy but Brian is right. He's classy and passionate about football. Great to hear his perspectives on the game. He's honest. That's all I care about.
