business coaching college dealing decision emotional might side understand
I haven't been very emotional about this thing. The emotional side of coaching is dealing with the kids. I've been a college coach for 34 years. I understand the business side. I might not like the decision that they make, but that is their prerogative.
defensive field gets goal great knew needed offense tie time
I knew we only needed a field goal to tie it and put it into overtime, but I thought it was a great time to take a shot. More often than not, from the defensive perspective, the offense gets that ball.

beat face hard kids ohio played state ways
My kids are as down as down can be, and in some ways they should be and in some ways they shouldn't be. They played as hard as they could, but to beat Ohio State you have to do a lot of things right. You have to do most things right, let's face it. We did some and we didn't do others.

college greatly guys honor joke miss people players practice rather talk type
I'll greatly miss them and more because of the type of people they are rather than the type of players they are. It was fun. It was an honor for me to go to practice every day and joke around with those guys and talk to those guys. They're in my estimation what college football's all about.

beats bunch cry everybody football good guess maybe national problem records reflect scope sure
This sure is a long cry from the Big Two and the Little Eight, I can tell you that. I guess maybe the only problem is on the national scope everybody beats everybody up and you still have a bunch of good football teams, but the records don't reflect it.
