best class classes entire fired people possibly several stays top
People were fired up. We had several recruits at our game, and they're fired up. It's going to be a top 10, possibly better, class in the entire country. It's going to be one of the best classes that I believe, if everything stays on course, that we've had here in a long, long time.

People were fired up. And we had some recruits at (Saturday's) game, and they were fired up.
committed follow guys people players reason week work
I'll follow those guys. They're the best. Guys like Zach and Jason, that's the reason you coach. Players that work like that and who are committed like that -- people that you can trust, week in and week out. That's what makes it fun.

The biggest adjustment is the time-management part, the limited amount of time you have with the kids as opposed to the pros, ... Every week it's a new challenge. It doesn't make any difference how much knowledge I might have about the defense ... it comes down to what our players can practice and comprehend.

They know we're being fair. We're doing everything we can to win every game, but there's no set amount of time that these freshmen are going to play.
address adversity dame deal fine football hit obviously played team teams week
Notre Dame was obviously a fine football team and we must have miscalculated them and that's my responsibility. We hit adversity and did not deal with it the way championship teams deal with adversity, so we'll address that. The way we played in week 1 will not be the way we play in week 11.

I'm not ruling anything out, and my mind-set has not changed, it's the timing, ... I'm going to keep my football options open. NFL or college, I'm really not closing the door on anything.
