couple days good guess hate lose move next people position post timetable together
I guess it's bittersweet that I see him leave. You hate to lose a good man, but you know when you have good people they're going to move on. We'll probably get together in the next couple of days to see what his timetable is. But, obviously, we'll post the position and take a look and see who's out there, but I don't have a timetable right now. It's a little too early.
covering good guess looked proud return took
It never looked like he was tired. I guess that's a good thing with having those 18-year-old legs. They don't get tired, those kids. Man, did he play. I'm really proud of him. That's unbelievable. Then he's covering punts and on the punt return and kickoff team. We took him off some of that.
cherish dealt favorite football game great guess hit john love mean players seeing takes water win
I don't mean to be short, but we have dealt with this all year. I guess it was when the water hit me on the back when the game was over. That's it. There is nothing like seeing a quarterback take a knee. I love that play. That's my favorite play in football when John takes a knee. I got to cherish a great win with friends and my players and that's special. I couldn't find a better way to go out.

appreciate athlete effort gifted guys looking message pride send special strong takes team type
(Hampton) isn't the most gifted athlete that we have, yet he takes so much pride in how he plays, he's on every special team and I just thought it would send a strong message to our special-team guys that we appreciate them and that's the type of effort and that's the type of play that we're looking for.
bowl brought football pride proud talk
You can talk about buildings, you can talk about bowl victories. I think the thing I'm most proud of is we brought pride back to our fans, to our football program.

The guys are smart enough to know that this was a mismatch. These guys lost seven players (to academic suspensions) last week. They're very thin.

He runs through a lot of tackles. He's a very strong runner. You're not going to arm-tackle him. You'd better be ready to gang-tackle him.
