Every coach talks about turnovers, but it's how deeply you emphasize it is where you get consistency. Our guys are riddled with the thought of having to go get the ball at all times in everything that we're doing. It's the number one emphasis in the program for us.
Now you just need to maintain the status of your program and I'm hoping that's what we continue to do as we go forward. I'm not looking for an easy way, but we've been there. It's really exciting.
What my thoughts come back to about this football team right now, this is a program that has found a level of excellence. We'll get back to work and see how it comes together. We have great players coming on to offset the guys that are leaving.
It still feels very early in the program. I don't think we've done anything truly remarkable yet, but I see the potential for a run. There's a chance for us to be a very good, long-term program where one game or season shouldn't affect that.
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 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.
They've been through a lot. They've created a tremendous momentum for us in the program over the years they've been here with all of the winning, and Matt has been the leader of all of that. ... But it's hard to describe and hard to define the impact that these guys have had on the program. They've been through the whole thing.
This is a program that has found a level of excellence that's extraordinary. Now we'll go back to work and try to keep it going and get better.
Huge difference. You can't even compare it. He took over a program that he knew going in was going to take some time.
He knows this program really well. He understands the philosophy and the care we have for our kids. I know he supports us in all ways to continue to do that.
It has never been a focus of our program to look at the end of the rainbow kind of thing.
I look at that as recognition for the effort from our staff. And congratulations to Karl. He's done a wonderful job getting his program going. He's deserving.

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.
