Considering retirement? When that happens, I don't want that to be the story of whatever the season it is. I don't want to have to be talking about it all the time.

It's been that way the last couple of years. . . . I've often felt if I ever get to a point where I don't want to go recruiting and can't get excited about it, then maybe it's time. That's a pretty good indication that's probably it. And I haven't reached that point at all yet.

And so what I would do is look at the programs that LBJ gave us with the Great Society and they’d be gone.

I definitely want to put these people in charge of my healthcare and my retirement plan.
