That was the best defensive by far we've played this year, ... We switched some things up and whatever we did it seemed to work for us.
We've got to work on signaling from me or the sideline to the quarterback. We're way behind on that. We need a good two weeks of communication teaching before we're ready to play.
Nothing hardly ever rattles Danny Wuerffel. He has such a sincere faith and belief in God that things are going to work out. He's definitely a good person to have helping to lead that school and those kids, the inner-city kids in New Orleans.
There were some players the prior staff signed that we didn't think would ever contribute, ... We thought some walk-ons were more deserving and had worked hard to earn scholarships.
The university has graciously ruled in favor of Freddy and it now appears he is eligible to be back on the team. He will begin as the third team guard and will have to work his way up.
Our attitude is not as good as it needs to be here at Carolina, trust me. We're not there. We have a long way to go. We don't have a great team right now. We have a team that is sort of building. We have some building to do. We have some attitude adjustments. We've got to have some players who really care a lot more than they're demonstrating right now. It can be done. But it's a work in progress.
He needs to work on his tackling, like everybody else. He's a cover guy. He's quick and he should be fine back there.
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.
The fun thing about here, ... is that no one says, 'That doesn't work in the NFL.' I haven't heard that here.
And my dad wasn't a workout guy, ... I work out for 45 minutes, usually five, six times a week.
We just wanted to look around in the stadium and realize how fortunate we are to be able to coach and play in front of 80,000 people that love their team like we have here. Who knows if it does any good or not? We'll find out Saturday at 1 o'clock.
We just try to improve and improve and improve. We don't worry about how we look so much. We stayed healthy and that's always, I think, the number-one priority.
We weren't quite good enough. We didn't block well enough or tackle well enough and that was the difference in the ball game. A little block here, a little tackle there.
We got Pops a catch for the record book.
