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.
I spent plenty of time in the NFL. I don't care about any of those (NFL) opportunities. They don't fit me right now.
will be so explosive that the defense will have to spend a lot of time on the field.
We get down to the end of the season and we've got a couple of games left and we're fortunately in that position, then that's a whole different thing, and we'll deal with it when the time comes. But right now it's not something that our guys talk about. It's not something topical on our football team because it means nothing.
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.
I have great respect for what he's done. We've played against each other, and I think it's really cool that we have this chance to match up again. This is the first time we've gone head to head as head coaches.
I have been under contract for that long the whole time I've been here.
We like to celebrate the new year like everybody else. Everybody will be kept in house and in great order, as well. But we want to have fun. We have plenty of time to enjoy 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.
It's going to take some time for the spasm to let up. If it doesn't, there are some considerations that we'll have to look at more seriously what's going on. We'll let him rest for a few days and see how it responds.
It took us a long time to gain control of this game. The expectations we have for ourselves are so high, we feel the frustration.
That happened in a flash. He was up and over him. I don't even know how you can measure that time frame. He has extraordinary reactions.
It's a race against time once we get back to camp with the young kids and the running backs and figuring out the quarterback situation, so it'll be very exciting. Arkansas is what's next up, and we're aware of it.
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.
