accept best felt friendship interest job players reason reflection staff took
I don't feel like it has any reflection on our friendship to take this job. This is just business. I felt it was in the best interest of our players and our staff for me to accept this job. That was the reason I took it.
high honest kept perry relationship smart touch watched
I have a relationship with Perry from Jacksonville and have kept in touch with him and watched him develop. He's a very smart guy, a very straightforward guy, high energy. I like all those things about him. He's a very honest guy.

We need to play as well as we can play, perform as hard as we can perform and see what we can get out of it.

He's been in positions with teams that run a scheme that I like. I've always had a lot of respect for it. It's specific. It follows a teaching progression, I like that. You play fast in it, I like all those things. I trust Perry. It's time for him. I think he'll do a tremendous job.
