Coach, we need to talk.
One big task for a new head coach: plowing through all the congratulation texts
WKU’s has over 500 unread texts, and this is not OK.
Former Notre Dame offensive coordinator Mike Sanford was recently hired as the Hilltoppers’ head football coach. That came with its fair share of congratulatory messages.
Besides the incredible number of unread texts, I have an issue.
The third phone has a different app layout.
How does this man stay sane, switching phones that don’t have the same app layout? His Chase and 1st Source apps aren’t in a folder on phones one and two, but they are in one on phone three. There’s no telling what chaos is out of the frame of Thamel’s picture. I am pulling my hair out as you read this. I just don’t understand.
But beyond that, we get a small glimpse into Sanford’s personality, one app at a time.
Sanford’s an Untappd user, which means he enjoys a good beer and enjoys telling us about said good beer. I respect that, and the brews are on me if I get up to Kentucky. (Actually, they’ll be on the company, if we’re being honest.)
Sanford’s also a baseball man, clearly, with an MLB.tv subscription. I have to assume he has an Apple Watch, because why the hell else would you have the Apple Watch app there if you didn’t use the watch? Big props to my man for using Tweetbot, too, which is in his social folder. The Twitter app is trash, so you should all use Tweetbot. I spy a Snapchat icon, as well. I wonder if he uses the dog filter?
The problematic third phone tells us that he has 12 unread Facebook messages, but the middle iPhone has only 11 unreads in the folder containing the Facebook Messenger app. But there’s also the actual Facebook app on the phones, which has its own unread notifications, some of which I’d assume are messages.
And Waze. How are you gonna have a notification from Waze when you’re not going anywhere?
Sanford joins Texas’ Tom Herman in the “way too many congratulatory texts” club.
Apparently before I was hired at this fine company, we embraced the anti-inbox-zero movement, so Herman and Sanford would fit in at the SB Nation offices.
I doubt either coach is as bad as SB Nation NFL editor Ryan Van Bibber when it comes to emails. He shared this with me on Tuesday night.
But the GOAT email ignorer has to be SB Nation NBA editor Mike Prada. He shared with me this ungodly number of unread emails. Yes, those are over 200,000 unread emails across multiple merged accounts.
Please, gentlemen. Check your messages.
