I looked in these guys' eyes and they are ready to go and get it done.
You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him, huh? Who made that up, Winston Churchill ?
No question about it. It seems like I haven't been on the field in a long time, which I haven't.
He'll be back to play next year, but obviously he's out for Saturday.
As time went on through the first and second years (2001-02), you could see him making plays all the time,
It was just fun to get out and coach. The enthusiasm for the first day was unbelievable. For me personally, it was great to get out there and coach.
In four years, I thought we got them into a pretty good situation. In the fifth year, obviously, they took away our chance.
It's fun to see the enthusiasm out there right now as far as the Vandals are concerned. They deserve that enthusiasm after the things they've gone through the last few years.
There were a lot of questions in a lot of people's minds. Not ours. I expected him to play well. For the first time out, he probably performed better than any of us thought.

I feel sorry for the guy. It's like he's coaching in the Pac-10 with 50 scholarships instead of 85.
The muscle came off the bone and they're going to go in and attach it in the groin.
We expect him to miss this week and we think he'll probably play the last three games.
