I don't even want to comment. I'm commenting more on coaching than I should, until I get a chance to meet with Mr. Wilson. We wanted to cross this hurdle before we talk about that.
We don't have a hard and fast price. We're still talking. I'll treat that situation as it develops, because it's a big decision.
I still think he has playing ability. But I don't think we can fill all of our other needs with the type of salary cap hit we have to take with him.
It depends on what the compensation would be. We would talk to them, of course. We'd talk about it. We wouldn't rule them out.
No, I am not going to be the coach.
Some coaches who do that are protecting an image they have, an image that they sort of like,
Mike surprised me with that. I just told the guys to take the rest of the day off.
We will make every effort to retain him, every effort. Dick has expressed the same, and other coaches (here have). He's a talented player who can get better.
We consider Nate a valuable member of our defense and believe he will play an important role in re-establishing our defense as one of the toughest units in the league.
We want to win immediately. To say you're building is an incomplete sentence. ... You're building for a future coach and general manager.
But I've done it too. After a game is over, your emotions are right there and it's very easy to say something like, 'If some of these guys don't step up, we're going to have to make some changes.' I've then gone into the locker room and told the guys, 'I owe you an apology.
It's that time of the year where all teams are involved in making some, to a degree, painful decisions.
It's an option, and if we use it, that's the likely person we use it on. We hope we can do a contract that goes beyond that. Sometimes you have to put the franchise tag on and work on the contract part of it.
The age factor means nothing to me. I'm old enough to know my limitations and I'm young enough to exceed them.
