It was in the normal course of the game,
They've got pass rushers all over the place. They've got cover guys, just a very talented group of guys, ... But no different than Georgia and some of the other top teams we're going to play. ... We've got execute, move the ball and try to score some points.
Not necessarily regret. He sort of helped bring Tyrone in. I think Tyrone's an excellent coach. It just didn't work out, I guess, is the easier way to say it when we had to make a change there in the middle of the year.
If our fans felt like booing, I would have said they had a good reason to. To me, you only boo if the guys are not playing with effort, (and if the) coaches don't look like they know what they were doing. We were all in that category. The fans will not hurt my feelings if we perform like that again and (they) boo.
I had 12 wonderful years there, and I thought it was time to move on, so I moved on, ... Hopefully, our fans are happy I'm here, and I think Florida fans are happy with their coach. Everybody's happy.
I guess you guys have to be a coach to understand. Once you spend a year with your guys, that's your team. That's just your team. I try to live in the present.
He's still on my team. Because I might would've done the same thing as a college kid when somebody took the bowl game away. ... You get mad and you get over it. Those guys, I don't really have a problem with it.
He's still officially listed as one of our coaches. We're not looking for a replacement right now.
He's still got a little ways to go, but he's got a chance. He's checking off and picking his guys out better. He should be close to really playing very well this year.
He's still gimpy. But he's not much of a runner, anyway. So hopefully he won't have to move around too much. Get rid of it quickly.
He's taken his punishment and didn't whimper or complain. He served his time and is ready to go.
Hopefully, we'll represent our school, our university and our team in a more proud way this week,
I don't know if he's going to be suspended a whole bunch of games or whether he's gone. We're going to get all the details before we make a final decision on him.
Certainly (they are) a well-coached bunch of guys, and they all play very hard. You don't see those guys loafing around and dodging tackles. They play all out.
