available chiefs chris coaches finding good great head interested join knack learned phenomenal talk thoughtful work
When I head that Chris McKeown was available I said 'Yes' I would be interested in having him join us, ... The talk was can two head coaches work together...you know, too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Chris was such a professional person and he told me this was my deal. He was very thoughtful and he is a phenomenal head coach. He is also a great recruiter. He has a knack of finding good talent. I learned so much from him.
ball drop penalties several supposed weeks
We had 10 penalties two weeks ago. When you do that and drop the ball several times, you're not supposed to win.
good great indy itself rest run separates special win
You run the whole season, and then you run Indy. It's that special that it separates itself from the rest of the season. We're having a good year, but if we can win Indy or the Skoal Showdown, it will be a great year.

care people
I think the people here demonstrated that they care very much about this school.
abundance
I think we're still learning. But we can't have those penalties. And we had an abundance of turnovers.

Our first run was a really good run, ... To repeat what we ran last night during the day with the sun on the track, I'm really happy with that. This is the best race car that I've driven in a long time.

Please get down off the wall-bars, stay off the seats,
adam anyone athlete believe came character chris coach coaching family great heard knew line matt players proven represent staff suggested
Chris also suggested Adam Shakelford as a line coach and so we had our coaching staff in place. Then we had to get players. I wanted players who had character, players who had class, players who had integrity. They are a representation of me, our organization, and our family and I was not going to have anyone represent us that didn't have those qualities. Even if a great athlete came in, if he had a character flaw, he was gone. Matt Sauk was our first transaction. When I heard he wanted to play for us I couldn't believe it! He is a quarterback that I knew could get us where we wanted to go. He was a proven quarterback. Coach Petrino (University of Louisville) called and recommended him.

Any time you have a turnover, it hurts. Ours came at bad times.

The issue has been resolved to our satisfaction.

If we tried to analyze it, our minds would be pretzels.
good guys liked quicker run showing solid stayed trying wrong
The guys are trying some different things this weekend, ... It's really showing a lot of promise. They weren't trying to go much quicker than that. They were trying to run a 4.78 or 4.79. It was a good solid run. Sure, I would have liked to have stayed No. 1, but there's nothing wrong with No. 2.
none pardons seemed thorough
All of these pardons seemed appropriate. None of these (17 pardons) jumped out at us as something that would be untoward at all. It's a long, drawn-out and thorough process, as it should be.
