corrected mistakes pumped second talk
I wouldn't say we got overconfident when we scored early, ... There was a lot of talk before this game, so we were pumped up anyway. I think we just executed better and we corrected our mistakes in the second half.
across bay coaches fingers folks green handled happened issue league minority pinpoint point relationship somewhat within
Folks within over there know how a lot of those things are handled are somewhat of a shame, but you can't really just point fingers to say it's the Green Bay Packers because it's an issue all across the league, ... There's not enough minority coaches in the league across the board. So, just to pinpoint that one, that just so happened to be an issue that I kind of experienced first-hand from my relationship in Green Bay as well as with Coach Washington.
We don't think he'll ever play for the Packers again. We want him traded.
chances timely
We had our chances but couldn't get the timely hit.
bay caliber fell felt green past short teams time
For me, really, it's really just a past ordeal. So, I'm not really into rehashing any of those things, ... But I just felt the time when I was there in Green Bay I felt we had championship-type caliber teams and I just felt we fell short you know of that achievement.

bowl definitely felt game great playing super teams
Truthfully, I mean, it was a combination of both, ... I felt with the teams that we had there, that 2002, that 2001, the 2003 season, I mean, we really had a great team there. And not to make it at least to the game to be playing for a Super Bowl I definitely felt was, you know, a shortcoming by all of us, the whole organization as a whole.
loose played staff took
It took a little while for our staff to see who played well together. Then we played loose and aggressive.
college kids last played six year
We have six kids that played for us last year but aren't back. We have some kids, we just don't have enough kids with college experience.
contract folks led ultimately underlying wanting
A lot of folks may have thought that it was really about the contract with me, ... That was never the front-runner issue. It was a lot of underlying things that really ultimately led to me wanting to be elsewhere.
felt hearing move needed time
That's my first time really hearing of that, ... I know that's a first-class organization over there, so from that standpoint, they felt that was a move that they needed to make.
