Watching the film, I didn't think that would happen because they play such great pass defense and they're so aggressive. But Matt was on fire.
We're in great shape, and everything is going to work out for the long haul. I'm not looking. I don't care about those opportunities. ... This is a good time for this. There'll be a tremendous amount of movement in the NFL a week from now.
We're real concerned. We have not had a great season on special teams.
What we did last year -- that was cool, that was fun. We made a great DVD. But that's behind us. This is a whole new challenge, just as it was last year and the year before.
Reggie has had a great season. He's done everything. Every play he's on the field, he's been an enormous factor.
(Matthews) has had a very good spring. He's played almost every snap in the springtime so he's had a great opportunity to show us stuff and he's done very well.
I think he's definitely in that vein, ... Obviously he's got a long ways to go before we can say he's as great a player as those guys, but he has the potential and to be as good as anyone who's ever played.
People make mistakes all the time. We learn and grow. If there's patience and love, and you care for people, you can work them through it, and they can find their greatest heights.
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.
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.
It's real simple. The series before they had great success moving down the field. If they get the ball, I don't know what yard line it was, but it's the 40 or so, whether they get it there ... or kick it 20 yards farther, it's not going to make a big difference.
I'm in great shape, and I haven't complained about it at any time. The university has been great and has been proactive about making it known that they want me around.
It's so great to be standing in front of you representing what this university has always been about: winning championships, national championships.
