I've been coaching an awful long time. I've always wanted to be a head football coach, and I've been looking for an opportunity.
I've been in this defense for five years, so I feel like I know it pretty well. Other guys have done the same, so it's easier for us during practice, if we see a younger player do something wrong, we can pull them aside and tell them what to do. In our freshman year we were all new to the system, so there wasn't a lot of player coaching going on. Now, there is.
I was really nervous. I couldn't handle it being my last meet. Before my last race, I was in the warm up pool and my pace work was all off, I couldn't hit the times my coach wanted me to hit. It was just overwhelming.
I think I'm fighting an uphill battle. You've got to look at it from a coaching standpoint: 'Can we rely on this guy?' That's what they have to think. But I'm just going to go out and play. If I get hurt again, I get hurt again. But I've got two bionic knees now.

You just have to trust the coaches. (The Broncos) have a new coaching staff, everything. It's really you just trusting the coaches and them saying this is what you're going to do.
First and foremost, I'm not going to evaluate any of our coaches publicly; I don't think that's appropriate. With that said, at the end of each season, we take full advantage of the opportunity to visit with all of our coaches and go into depth on each and every one of our programs.
The experience that we have just playing in the last two games is probably going to help us out a lot. And the game plan Coach Carroll prepares is going to be awesome.
They're good. I think he's a great coach.
It could be a similar battle this year, but don't forget the line-out battle either, especially with Steve Borthwick in the side. Bath have a quality pack, it's one of their strengths and with Michael Foley on their coaching staff they're going to base a lot of their play around their forwards. After all it's been successful, why would they want to change it?
He's definitely auditioning for a head coaching job, maybe not here but he's going to get a head coaching job. He's a great coach, a players' coach and he's going to give it his all. He played the game and played it well.
I know we can win this meet. The coaches say they have a really good squad this year, a little bit stronger than last year. But I feel like we still have more depth, and we're going to do well at this meet. We're going to win.
You turn on the film and the No. 1 player you're going to game-plan around is Brian Calhoun. He's the No. 1 player that we game-plan around (offensively). So, conversely, as a defensive coach, you're going to spend a lot of energy in trying to contain, throttle, and frustrate Calhoun, while forcing other players to beat you. If I'm coaching against us, the first thing I'm going to do is figure out a way to contain Brian because he can change a game, and change it fast.
I love it; this whole atmosphere is why you play and coach rugby.
