against coached england looked number people possible research talked teams
We've looked at a lot of film of Charlie's teams at New England. We've talked to a number of people who have coached against him, done as much research as it's possible to do.
ended outside people prepared quality
I'm always prepared for change, or at least I try to be prepared for change, at any position. There were a lot of people outside that were considered, and the people we ended up with were quality in every way.
affiliated coached coaching extremely people promoted
The other thing is that they promoted from within. So there are a lot of people who have been affiliated with this program, who have coached here and are coaching here, who are extremely capable. So we'll see what happens.
approach challenges chance character fight good great less people question thinking together whether work
Whether things are going great or poorly, you have challenges. Challenges when things are going well are a lot more fun, but no less difficult. In our case, there's no question it's not as much fun. But if you have good people and good character like we have, you approach it thinking that together you can get through it. And if you have a good work ethic, you have a chance to fight your way out of it.
balance great people spread
They're very different offensively. They spread the ball. When you look at the statistics, you'll see great balance in the people that got the football.
deserved happened people players wait
Some things happened at the end, but I'll have to wait and see on tape. I thought our players deserved better. I don't know how many people were on the field. I don't know how that happened.
agreeable dealing distract less listen might people success wise
Dealing with success is more agreeable than dealing with losing, ... but it's no less difficult. Now we have to deal with all these people patting us on the back. But it's not wise to listen to that because it might distract you from what you need to get done.
ended people
I don't know how that many people ended up on the field. I just don't know how that happened.
expect general jim ohio people rule school treat treated
I don't think we'd ever treat any school like we were treated at Ohio State. Commissioner Jim Delany has instituted a new rule that if you're going to have something like that, you must notify people beforehand, and that's a thing you'd expect as a general courtesy.
expect football game mistakes red win
We just made too many mistakes in the red zone. You can't get the football down there and give it away like we did and expect to win a game like this.
effort fight football found good liked lost offensive standpoint talented took
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense. I liked the way we played, from a standpoint of effort and aggressiveness. I thought we were very physical. I thought we took the fight to Notre Dame. They're a very talented offensive football team. (But) there's nothing good about losing. Nothing.
football found lost
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense.
leave
It was a long night, leave it that way.
both changes hopefully sides unfold
There will be significant changes on both sides of the ball. That will unfold in the fall, and hopefully it will be obvious. The most important thing is it translates into performance.
