coaches convince felt greatest late major might school sure team top wavering year
He may try to go to school in Poland. He was a major part of our greatest year and obviously, if he had come back, we'd be a top 20 team this year. There had to be a deadline. A lot of coaches might have done everything they could to convince him to come back, but I felt that because he was still wavering at such a late date, if he's not sure he should be here than he probably shouldn't be here.
best bouncing compete couple deadline decision fall forth hours january last needed pass player weeks whether year
He needed to pass 24 hours for the year to compete in January and he needed to take 15 hours this fall to do that. It's been a very interesting last couple of weeks ... because Radek was bouncing back and forth on whether he would come back. Finally, I had to make the decision and set a deadline to do what's best for the team, because one player is never more important than the team.
loss tough
(Texas) A&M was probably the second-toughest loss I've ever experienced in my 15 years. That was a tough one.
