It's just fun. And it's supposed to be fun.
We're a couple guys who want to have fun playing football. That's what it amounts to, and we go back to that, go back to the roots of why we're doing this.
Our team is well-prepared for his leaving. It'll be fun to see who steps up.
It has been a great process, ... It has been really fun to put the thing together with the challenge of trying to replace really terrific football coaches. Now we have to go out and prove what we're all about. There is a lot of scrutiny and question marks that I think are valid, but I think this group is going to do a great job.
I always think, for a little California kid growing up and watching the Rose Bowl. It doesn't get any better right now. This is as much fun as you can have.
Matt Leinart's decision to return for his senior year really sent a message about him as a person and about how much fun it is to play college football.
I know Cal has had a great time with this fact. They've had a lot of fun with it. I'd like to not let them have so much fun with it. We'd like to win the game and put that one behind us a little bit.
He's such a special player, a once-in-a-lifetime talent. He's a game-changer, with his speed, instincts, vision and competitiveness. He's just so much fun to watch.
The history really doesn't have anything to do with how we play, so that's not a big point for me to dwell on. But it is fun for everybody.
Think of your favorite teacher you ever had in school: the one who made it the most fun to go to class. They surprise you. They keep you guessing. They keep you coming back, wanting to know whats going to happen next.
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.
