The defense played well because the run-and-shoot is truly a challenge.
When we watched the Maine film, he was making all the tackles, and he wasn't even the starter. We could tell right away that he knew how to play.
We will have to wait and see when he gets to practice today. There is no damage at all to his knee, it is sore from getting banged on it, but he is going to practice today. We will ease him through the week until he is feeling 100%. He might feel 100% today. He is real encouraged, and I am not really concerned about it.
We'd been having a hard time getting other offenses off the field, ... We need to get the ball back to our offense. You can see what happens when we do that.
Family is family. That means we open the doors to them. I think our players are comfortable with people at practice. We try to do a real nice job of screening. I'm not paranoid about it. However, we're going to do everything we can to try and not let the wrong people watch.
What was I thinking? I was coming in after the coach of the decade.
We tell recruits we're going to a nice, quiet, homey place. We're going to talk about your future and stuff like that. The next thing they know, John's unbuttoning his shirt and dancing in front of everybody.
We've been talking, and we had a more significant discussion (Wednesday). That is why I am willing to say something in a general sense. There are no details to give. We're in great shape, and things worked out really nice.
We just could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
We just missed each other out there. I don't think anyone was mad at each other. I was more upset that our defense gave up all those passing yards in the fourth quarter. I don't think there's a problem.
We feel very fortunate to be in this situation at this time of year. It's a beautiful time to be coaching and playing football. This is the situation we all hope for. We all want to get in the Rose Bowl. The situation this year is a little different.
This offense needs an aggressive, big running back to build around the rest of what we do. I think that's really the formula for us. I love the downhill, hardball effect we can get from a big running back.
Vince Young was an extraordinary talent out there tonight. He's really off the charts. That's a heck of a football player.
Vince Young's stock couldn't go higher. He has to rethink his decision.
