chemistry coming earn few gets guys matter talent
We're going to have to go out there and earn it, though. We had a lot of guys coming back this year. It doesn't matter how few guys you lose, the chemistry always changes. Talent only gets you so far. Chemistry ... has to come with it.
age age-and-aging both certain challenge guys hesitation ready
I think the age thing is overrated. I think it is all about guys having certain experiences and if a guy is ready for this challenge and task. With both of our coordinators there wasn't a hesitation in my mind.
awesome coaches great guys keeps passed staff state
I think there's been some great coaches that have passed through the state and I think they just know how awesome it is in Boise, Idaho. When you have guys who want to be in a place real bad, I think that important. I think it keeps staff continuity.
across bring checkers guys jump looking rope stop whether
You can come across as a jerk. ... But that's the No. 1 characteristic we're looking for from guys on our field. Whether it's checkers or jump rope or football, to stop me you've got to bring everything you've got.
consistent guy happen last next reason step taking talked whatever year
We talked last year about him taking the next step there, and that didn't happen for whatever reason where we wanted him to. Did he get better? He did. He got better on occasion, but he wasn't the consistent guy that we needed.
bar cutting guy move
We want a guy on the cutting edge. We want someone who is going to move the bar up from where it's been set by Pit.

You don't want to have that many guys on scholarship.

It was very apparent that this guy is a first-class football coach.
box guy outside positive pushing thinking
He's a real positive guy, and a can-do guy. ... He also was a guy who was always thinking outside the box and pushing the envelope.
brings coaching excellent experience guy joining lucky opportunity pass record state track wide
I feel very lucky to have a guy like Brent joining our staff. He has an excellent track record coaching wide receivers and quarterbacks, and also brings outstanding experience coordinating offenses. Having Brent come to Boise State was an opportunity we could not pass up.
awesome bar believe city developed fabulous high mentality state strength strong team terms truly university
Our team is as strong as any team around and he really developed an awesome mentality for our guys. He's set the bar really high for us in terms of our strength and conditioning. ... I truly believe we're going to get a fabulous, fabulous replacement because of Boise State University and the city of Boise.
competition good health terms
We have to have two good quarterbacks, if not more, just in terms of health and if things don't go the way they should. Competition is good.
except four running seven teams tendency
We play a lot of people. That way not everyone has to know everything we're doing, except for the quarterback. He has to know everything. Some teams have a tendency to play three, four receivers. We'll play seven or eight. Some teams play one or two running backs. We'll play five.
