If it's anything different from that, then, at the end-of-the-season discussion, we have to talk about it. I don't want to go through another season like this, to be honest with you.
He just talked to me briefly, and I could tell right away that we were going to get along.
Good; I can talk some (trash) to him. That's probably the reason he's not returning my phone calls. It makes a lot of sense.
Timing is everything. Chemistry is something that you don't just throw in the frying pan and mix it up with another something, then throw it on top of something, then fry it up and put it in a tortilla and put in a microwave, heat it up and give it to you and expect it to taste good. You know? For those of you who can cook, y'all know what I'm talking about. If y'all can't cook, this doesn't concern you.
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 knew I wanted to do something, ... But I didn't know in detail what I wanted to do.
It's not good, but what we're doing now is trying to prepare for next year. That's the reality. We have 17 games to go. I was just focusing on trying to win at least one of these games on the road.
It was hard. Very hard, ... But, what's new around here? Other than these teammates. That's to be expected from Kevin.
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.
I've yet to see a team that doesn't go through a stretch of difficulty. This is ours. We just got to battle through.
It was a game that we had to have. As far as momentum and trying to create some with our schedule, this came at the right time...Playing a team that is an aggressive team, I thought we did a good job of meeting that aggression.
I try to keep things in house, but there's a certain tone in here, man, and we're going to keep that. If you can't (abide) by the tone, you won't be here, you won't play. I don't sign nobody's checks and (expletive) like that, but you've got to be prepared and ready to play, man.
