The thing I like is that I'm in charge of everything, so I can structure things the way I like. I get to wear all the hats. There are a few guys in the NFL who have that opportunity, but not many. You basically have to win a Super Bowl.
We get as much exposure as any NFL team in any NFL city. You can't get more exposure than that. It's impossible.
It's what everyone dreams about that comes to play here, and we try to be real frank about it. We have tremendous NFL experience on our staff, our background and the way we teach is exactly the way they do up there. It's a selling point.
It sends a great message about college football. And believe me, the NFL wants these guys to stay, too.
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 work real hard to make visits from NFL scouts as beneficial as possible. We offer our guys everything from A to Z as they go through the process.
There's a nice little ring to it because of our NFL backgrounds. Everyone wants to see what's going to happen.

He's never been asked to be a coach for an NFL job before. It came out of nowhere.
He has to be a great teacher. You have to have the right stuff and in the right proportions, and you have to convey that to the coaches, and then to the players.
I can't ask the offense to score slower.
We're not going to do anything different for this game since we're not treating this game any different than another game. Every game is a championship game for us, so we'll treat this one, the last one and the next one exactly the same. And that goes for our practices leading up to it as well.
At the highest level in the NFL, the pass game is as complex as you can imagine.
I wanted to find out if we went to the NFL and really took care of guys, really cared about each and every individual, what would happen?
