Brad Childress is one of the finest coaches I've ever been around in football.
Besides his ability, another thing that impressed us was that he was the captain of the football team, which shows he was very well-respected by the coaches and players. We're excited to be bring in a person of that caliber.
Obviously, we cannot do it like we have been doing it. We have to get better as players and coaches and I have a lot of trust in both the players and the coaches. We will work very hard and make sure we get it together and do a better job.
Mobility was a factor, ... We thought that if (McMahon) got into trouble, he could gain some yards with his feet. ... He did a good job. I have not had a chance to talk to the coaches and the players about it so I am not going to say something here.
I have to coach him, and he has to listen. That's part of it. That's taking place right now. I'm not treating him any different than I've treated him before.
We thought he was a good college player. Jim Harbaugh was his coach down there, so we had a little bit of insight. He's a big kid that had pretty good numbers at that level and we wanted to give him a shot.
From the coaches to the players, everyone was embarrassed about Monday night. They weren't going to let that happen again.
Marty has demonstrated that he is one of the top offensive minds in the game and he's proven that throughout his NFL coaching career. We're happy to have had him on staff for the past three seasons and with that we feel this transition will be seamless for him and for the rest of the coaching staff.
I was proud of the coaches and the adjustments they made. I was proud of the character the players showed. They could have easily gone in the tank and they didn't do that. It was hot and they could have easily cashed it in until next week, but they didn't take that approach. They battled through and were tired. They pushed each other and trusted the adjustments the coaches made.
I'm sure (injuries) hurt him there a bit. He was battling through it. It was not an easy thing for him.
I'm sure everybody has their opinion on him. Obviously there are some guys that like him and guys that didn't like him. He doesn't get into that. Every week people try to taunt him.
In hindsight, ... I didn't look very smart on that one.
I knew he was hurt. It wasn't nearly as bad (Monday) night when he was playing as it was when he woke up (Tuesday) morning. It kind of stiffened up on him. He felt comfortable playing. He never said a word about it. He just went out and did his thing.
I like his size and the way he runs the football. I thought he did a nice job of catching the football and I thought he was good in blitz pickup, recognizing people coming. Before he went to Miami, I thought he was a heck of a running back and he was in a numbers situation down there and his number was out. He is a good football player.
