bit guys hear last observing shouting side telling
Last year, you could really hear him on the other side of the ball. He was shouting a lot and telling guys what to do. This year, he's a little bit more quiet. He's just kind of observing everything.
deal early guys last opinions papers stopped watching worry
I don't read the papers anymore. I stopped early last season. I don't need to deal with that. The only opinions I need to worry about are from the guys who are watching me day in and day out.

I didn't see it coming at all, to tell you the truth. As far as how everything went last year, everything was normal. He had a lot of other responsibilities, but nothing changed in terms of when he was around, him dealing with us. Nothing changed, so I had no reason to expect this.
classy coach game last talked thank
Coach is so classy that he never even talked about this being his last game. We wanted this game to be a way to thank coach for all that he's done for this school. This is coach's day.

We wanted to be on. We just wanted to thank him for everything he's done, not just this year, but since he's been here. This is coach's day. It just feels great to send him out of here like this.

Obviously, I like having O.D. out there, ... He's a heck of a player for us. A couple of those routes we knew were going to be good in the red zone.
dreary
Part of it is the weather. It's always dreary when we're there.
changing guys handled learning today
I think today was a big learning day for us. Being the first day, we want to get used to the drills and everything that we're doing. Offensively, we're not changing a whole lot of what we're doing, but we got a lot of new terminology, and I thought guys handled it well.
