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.
He has to be a good teacher. He has to work well with everyone in the organization. And he has to be a straight shooter with his players and, as hard as it is, with the media.
Great football coaches have the vision to see, the faith to believe, the courage to do - and 25 great players.
Systems don't win, players do.
The caliber of play in professional football compared to college is better and everybody knows it. They don't realize how much better. What a giant leap forward in the ability of talent level, the speed, and even the grasp of what you are trying to do. There is no other distractions before the players.
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.
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.
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 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.
