I see our basketball team beginning to get these great commitments and beginning to build for the future, and I see the same thing from Coach Croom's team. I don't see either of those men looking for shortcuts.
The same guy that recruited those guys also coached them and that shows. Those guys went from having a lot of potential to having a big impact and that doesn't happen by accident. It takes guidance.
I think his goal is to be a coach and he'll be able to do some things as a student assistant coach that a lot of people can't do. He'll get a couple of years of training that a lot of guys have to wait for until after they graduate.
Last year, they played a bunch of close games. Learning how to win doesn't happen overnight. Coach (Bobby) Johnson has done a good job of teaching that in a real methodical way.
We're just proud of the fact that everybody is contributing. You want to spread it around enough so the other coach can't just hone in on one part of your game.
We're beat up and fatigued and there are some guys in Gainesville licking their chops. The guys on our defense are flat-out warriors. (Defensive tackle) Ray Gant would not come out of the game and probably should have a couple of times. You have to tip your hat to them and coach Willie Martinez and rest of our defensive coaches.
We played a great football team tonight. They executed beautifully. If I wasn't coaching against them, I really would have enjoyed watching it because they did a great job.
We were all excited about how the interview was going. I was thrilled to have him back, but it was a little bittersweet because we saw what Coach Ball had to offer also. This time around when a position became available I didn't need to do any interviewing.
They executed beautifully. I would have enjoyed watching them if I weren't coaching in this game.
This is their chance to get in during a game and do it when it counts. This is their chance to show the coaches that they deserve more playing time.
This is a deserving tribute for a special young man. All of our coaches will be in attendance, and we look forward to seeing D. J. and his family appropriately honored.
I think Florida's intentions were to use a lot of the things (West Virginia coach Rich) Rodriguez is doing, but Chris Leak's talents didn't really jibe with that.
As a coaching staff, we believe we have those players that can step up and play well. I am very excited about what's going to happen with D.J. Shockley. He is a great football player. He is a guy that's going to be a treat for all the Georgia fans.
Not really, for two reasons. Number one, we looked at him and knew he was a very talented guy. We knew he could throw well and was very intelligent. And number two, when you're working with a coach who can make you understand the game and what it is you're trying to accomplish like Coach Spurrier can, you expect the quarterbacks to play well.
