coaches exciting field love players time wait
It's exciting because we're going to be able to go out on the field and do what we like to do. Just as much as the players love to get out there and play, coaches do as well. It's an exciting time and we can't wait to get out there.

They got coached all week, I'll say that.
coach fantastic great happy works
He works hard, he's a great recruiter and coach, and he's a fantastic person on and off the field. I'm very happy he's a Badger.
advance build chancellor coach extended fantastic football future great opportunity record success
Chancellor Wiley and Coach Alvarez have extended me a fantastic opportunity to build on our record of success and great tradition. I'm enthusiastic about the future of Badger football and this chance to advance the program.
advice coach given man piece placed plan position success
The No. 1 piece of advice I've been given is to be your own man and I plan to do just that. Coach Alvarez put me in a position to have success and I solicit him for advice, but he hasn't placed any limitations or restrictions on me.
coach gave given great hear notes reflect
He gave me those notes to reflect on the move, just like Coach Holtz had given him the notes. It's great to hear different philosophies on coaching.
bit coach coaches establish few meeting notice sit stay sure trying watch
It was different. I was sure to notice when Coach Alvarez used to come and sit in on my meeting or when he was in my drills, so I was trying to be a little bit conscientious of that, especially the first two days, trying to let coaches establish how they go about their business. I was just trying to stay at a distance, look around and watch for the first few days.
assemble carry coaches common great group integrity kerry passion people players
I would like to assemble a group of coaches that carry two common traits: great passion and great integrity. Kerry has great passion for the game, for recruiting, for his players and for people overall.
assistant coaches head
Assistant coaches make recommendations. Head coaches make decisions.
basis capacity coach daily football harder head involved
I want to be one that recruits harder than any head football coach in the country. I want to be involved on a daily basis in that capacity because I can make a difference.
coach excited work year
The thing that I'm excited about right now is another year to work under coach Alvarez.
coach coaches fast good head hire knew people
The one thing I knew as a head coach (was) I wanted to hire coaches that are good and eventually, as people know how good they are, people are going to want to try and hire them. Unfortunately, it was way too fast in this instance.
adjustment bit ending football good hardest offensive people point rather themselves
Sometimes, for young players, the hardest adjustment they have to make is just being accountable for everything they do. They want to make the big play, they want to just get to the ending point rather than working themselves through it. You'll see that a little bit with our new offensive guys. They don't know how hard it is to be a good football player. People just think it happens. It's hard...and it's a process.
