Lou turned up the wick considerably this year from last year.

So guys, I've got some good news and some bad news, ... How about the good news first. God knows we could use some after last weekend. Well, it's official, I'm still your coach!
chris coaches fought guy nfl offensive possibly walked
Chris is a guy the offensive coaches fought for the day we walked in the door. He's a guy that could possibly be an NFL offensive lineman, as well.
against coaching forgotten love people seen
I love coaching against those guys, ... They've forgotten more than most people know. They've seen it all.
chance start
We'll start off with Billy. We'll rotate them. They're all going to have a chance to show what they can do.
care hopefully taken
At least we know what it is now, and hopefully it's taken care of. We can go from there.

looks truly
It looks to me like they've truly reloaded.
best guy line looks lost obviously offensive running seen truly
It looks to me like they have just truly reloaded. The offensive line is huge. The running back is huge. They lost their receivers (to graduation), and they've got a guy (Jordan) who's got 11 catches in one game. They'll be obviously the best receivers we've seen to date.
anytime caliber coached definitely guys league personnel respect team
It wasn't my first consideration, ... But it was a consideration. It's particularly important when you're going into a new league of this caliber where you've got guys that have been in it and coached in it. There's definitely a respect anytime you know what a team is about or what a team can do and you know the personnel a little bit. It's very, very important.
