amount biggest challenge hard parents players worked year
I think the biggest challenge we had this year was getting players to come down and take a look. We had the most amount of parents we ever had come with them, and that was very encouraging. We worked very hard to get that done.

Joe, we could have put him in (Monday). We've got other guys who need more work than he does.
knows opener season slow taking treating
He is still day-to-day. We're really taking it slow with him. He's a fifth-year senior. We're treating him like a veteran. He knows what he can do and what he can't do. He's going to play (in the season opener Sept. 4).

As a coach, you're never where you want to be, but we are way ahead of where we were at this time last year. We have several veterans in key positions, and for some of them, this is their second or third go-round with camp. They know what to expect and they've reacted accordingly.

In the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, you've got to stoop pretty low to do that. You're lower than dirt. I'm not going to tolerate that. There's people in our business that don't belong in our business.
loss winning reality
