second time
I think I'll take a little time and go down to our place in Naples, Fla., before going back for the second semester.
coaches conversation fast problem scoring sidelines time
We were scoring so fast a lot of the times, there wasn't a lot of time on the sidelines for the coaches to get enough conversation to know what the problem was, before they were back on the field.
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.

effort given playing reward special teams tremendous
Our special teams have been playing very well and they've given us tremendous effort. I wanted to reward someone, acknowledge someone who exemplified the effort that we look for in a special team - and that's what Zach has done.
couple defense everybody looked runs speed
I think his speed really showed up today. A couple of those runs their defense had things cornered, it looked like they had the right leverage. He just outran everybody to the end zone.
accepted job offered officially president process public yesterday
I think his president wanted to keep it confidential and go through the process without it being a public issue. But he was offered the job officially yesterday and accepted and contacted me right away.

I think Joe has mentioned it and I've seen it written before, that our game may have cost them two or three games. They couldn't get that game out of their system, it was such a tough loss.
