attitude bowl brought few florida good last success
I'm really impressed. Florida has not had success the last few bowl games. I really like the attitude that they've brought for the bowl. Their attitude was fantastic. That's a good sign.
strong kids florida
I remember when I was coaching down at Florida, we would always lose kids in recruiting battles to Clemson. I would tell my coaches that we shouldn't be losing kids to Clemson. Charlie Strong responded ‘coach have you ever actually been to Clemson?’ I hadn’t but I’ll tell you what, I’ve been here now and I get it. This is an exceptional, special place.
player florida color
But what I didnt want to have happen, and I made this clear to Jeremy (Florida AD), if I am able to go coach, I want to coach at one place, the University of Florida. It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach? I dont want to do that. I have too much love for this University and these players and for what weve built.
case offense wondering
In case you're wondering what the offense should look like, that wasn't it.
happy ready
I'm not ready to say that. I'm happy with today's practice. I think our ones could be OK.
bit course deal issues
It's been there, a little bit of selfishness and other issues we have had to deal with during the course of the year.
guys
It's devastating. Those are two guys we love.
handle
I used to be able to handle him very easily.
shoulders sidelines
The shoulders of everyone on the sidelines just kind of slumped down.
critical momentum since
Since then we've had some momentum going ... It's a critical game.
best call guys hard momentum needed players trust turn yard
Momentum was slipping. We needed to do something to turn that around. The guys I had in there were guys I trusted, so it wasn't really a hard call to make. You have to have trust and on fourth-and-1, go get it. Give it your best players and go get the yard and they did.
It's unacceptable, and we have to get better at it.
friday saturday
It's Thursday. Get me through Friday and Saturday and I'm all right.

They're as talented a team as any I've ever coached against.
