I knew I wanted to do something, ... But I didn't know in detail what I wanted to do.
All these wins are big wins. We have to continue to compete and just play. We just got more defensive conscious in the fourth quarter and were able to win the game.
These games that you win you learn from. It's just that a learning lesson. It builds confidence and character, and hopefully we can carry it over.
This is a huge win. We needed it more than they did and went out and played that way.
All in all, yeah, it's like a fresh start. You've got whole new players, new atmosphere.
The man's putting up the level of play not just for the players who are here but for the players to come after him.
I'm trying to know him as much as he's trying to know me,
I'm sure every team in the league goes through what we're going through. It's no different for us. The morale is not down, but we're trying to figure it out. ... I hate losing. I haven't really slept very well. It's good I got decent skin or you'd see all these bags under by eyes. It's not a good feeling right now. I'm eager to get a winning streak going.
I'm from the South, though, and I know how hard the South is, ... A lot of things that go on up North, there's a lot more opportunity. In the South, there's not as much opportunity and I know it's going to be a dramatic and drastic transition to turn that city around.
I'm out there sweating and working hard. Continuing to work and compete is one of the most difficult things when you really don't have anything to play for other than your dignity.
It was hard. Very hard, ... But, what's new around here? Other than these teammates. That's to be expected from Kevin.
I don't need to meet with him. I'm not going to make this no pressing issue. I spoke with him one time. That's that.
