It's going to be a few more days before we make a final evaluation (on Booty). We're just holding off until the doctors are ready to make a final call on how he is.
It's been a big deal in this program about how we finish. Now it's the fourth quarter of the season. We've got three huge games coming up. We're just really fired up about it.
It's great for us and our continuity because he was raised up in our philosophy. We get a real solid addition to the way we like to do things.
It's great to get this close to the game.
A bunch of us got fired at the end. It was a great first experience in the sense that it was the worst thing you could ever do in terms of coaching and development. Getting kicked out the first year, it was miserable.
It's just fun. And it's supposed to be fun.
It seems like California has been right behind us for a while, and we talked about kind of separating a little bit. For all the right reasons, it's good to come up here and get a win.
It sends a great message about college football. And believe me, the NFL wants these guys to stay, too.
It's a smaller kind of setting, but he's got great instincts for the job. Nick has taken that program over. He's a very hard-nosed, demanding coach who's going to get it done.
It was exactly the right thing to do. You want to win the game right there.
It was really a unique experience. I had been at the University of Pacific for my first three years coaching. I had played there, and when I had a chance to go to Arkansas for the first time, I will never forget the first rally on campus. It was crazy, and the energy was awesome, and the band was playing and the students went nuts. It was the first sense of what big-time college football was like, to be on the inside of it. That year at Arkansas was the year that really energized me about being a college coach and liking it and coaching on the big level. I got captured by it.
It was a risky throw. But our best guy was throwing it to our best catcher. It was the right thing to do.
It took him only a half to prove that he is the best player in college football.
It took us a long time to gain control of this game. The expectations we have for ourselves are so high, we feel the frustration.
