A lot of people want to know why I want to come back to college football.
They played great in the first half and kind of melted down in the second half. We are really sad for them, the fans, the coaches and everybody involved in the organization.
They double-covered him a couple of times, actually, so it was the right choice not to throw it to him. But he's a guy we need to have involved in the offense.
They're great at making adjustments, and great at getting things fixed.
There's a twofold purpose. Not just for bad weather but sometimes helping players recover.
There's an old saying, ... If a rattlesnake bites itself, it still dies.
Absolutely. He's done an outstanding job in practice and he finishes every play. He has done everything that anybody could ask of a player. If you asked me, give me the top five guys that are the best practice players, he would be one of them. If Jason Taylor had played in a 3-4 system somewhere, he would have been a Hall of Fame outside linebacker. He's smart and he's got great instincts to learn things, better than I ever hoped for.
The most disappointing thing to me is I don't think we showed improvement,
The more success you have, the more belief you have in what you have to do to be successful. The key piece to the puzzle is that you understand what it takes for you to be successful, and you are not satisfied with what you have accomplished.
That's what you look for in young players, is can they elevate their game, and can they improve and are they making progress.
That's not a luxury that we have right now in this particular draft.
That's not something I'm interested in doing right now. I'm very happy to be the coach here, ... We're looking forward to the challenges of making LSU a dominant program in the future.
You would hope that a guy would want to do something for positive reasons, because he wants to be successful and he buys into the things that can make him successful at what he does.
You need to wait five years and then we will know whether this guy is a good player or not,
