We're getting to the point where you don't say I'm an African-American coach. I'm just 'Coach.
We were approached by his agent at the Senior Bowl. We visited - a very short visit. We haven't heard from his agent at this point in time. I haven't heard from Terrell.
When you spot a team that many points in the first half, it's difficult to win, ... You can't play ball like that on the road. It was way too much. We kind of had our fate handed to us early.
I'm going to be here, as far as I'm concerned. At this point right today, I'm going to be here.
It's something Wayne's going to have to determine with the doctors, ... He's going to have to make a decision on what he wants to do. It's always the player's decision at the end of the day. The medical people can advise people. Wayne's at the point of his career where he's going to take a long hard look at what he wants to do.
We all anticipate him coming back. When he's going to come back, at this point in time, it's not up to us. It's up to the doctors. It's no different than it was last year. He's on a program. To say he's going to be back when, when he's going to be throwing full-range, all that stuff, at this point I have no idea.
At this point, it's 2006, and we got our first win of 2006. It's something to kind of laugh about, but it's important for us to point this organization in the right way. ... Like I have said many times, it's not a condition; it was just a season. It's over for us.
At this point I anticipate he'll be out for the season,' ... Jay Fiedler, at this point, I don't want to say how long it will be, but it could be a season, also.
We only put three points on the board. We had some opportunities but we just couldn't quite get it done.
You can score a lot of points and throw it, but if you can't run, you're not winning.
We're going to miss him, there's no doubt about that, ... I'm not all of the sudden going to make it a doom-and-gloom situation. He's out. He's done. There's nothing more to say.
We're going to get a good football player. Last time I checked, I had a saying a couple of years ago that you play the game for one reason and one reason only. Right? That hasn't changed for me. You play to win.
When we first watched him in college, we knew he was an athletic guy who could make plays. We liked his ability to play in space. We always felt that that he was getting better and better, so we liked him from the beginning. (He's) become a pretty great player for us, a good sub guy that really can play all three (linebacker) positions.
We're going to have to make sure we do things that he feels comfortable doing.
