He had to do certain things just to get out of the state, but I really admire his strength through this whole thing.

He has been a key element in numerous successful programs and he has been the architect of some of college football's best defenses during the past 25 years.

He informed me he might be interested in pursuing another option with LSU. I said that's all I needed to know because I want people that need to be here.

He is just beginning to get his feet wet. But he definitely will strike you. He's not afraid of anything.

He got up and talked about what they ran and why they ran it. I was just amazed at his presence and his knowledge.

He drinks Mountain Dew with Red Bull. It's the last guy that needs that combination. Before practice, I think he has a Pop Tart sandwich with peanut butter in the middle.
coach gave given great hear notes reflect
He gave me those notes to reflect on the move, just like Coach Holtz had given him the notes. It's great to hear different philosophies on coaching.
emphasis game home last status
He never once has made any emphasis on his last home game or his last game. It's just been status quo.
again began bowl daily fits injury learning mike season start until
He never had the daily repetitions of a mike learning curve, the reads, the reactions, the fits and drills. It was kind of a season in learning. When he began to start to play pretty well is when he had that little injury and didn't really play well again until the bowl game.
accept again consistent emphasized time whatever
Whatever it was, we really emphasized that we wanted it to be consistent time and time again and weren't going to accept anything less.

We've been trying to sell it. I know there won' be the same crowd that there is in Camp Randall next year. But we're trying to get as many people in the stands as possible and make it a game-day environment.

I'll never forget opening up a fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant on the very day that Fry offered me the job, ... It said, 'Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.' It's turned out to be true.
basically daily entire felt improvement spring throughout
I need to have daily improvement in everything we do and I basically felt throughout the entire spring that we did do that.
assure attention backs couple defensive expected five immediate last lost major minimum numbers offensive paid special wide
There was an immediate need at wide receivers, defensive backs and offensive linemen. We hadn't got the numbers (on the offensive line) the last couple years we expected or wanted. So I wanted to go in and get a minimum of five offensive linemen. Sewed that up early. That was probably our major emphasis. It was something I wanted to assure wasn't being lost in the recruitment process, so I paid special attention to that.
