coaches effort few further good last players proof records virginia winning
I think we have good coaches and good players in this state. We've really made an effort to re- cruit well in the state. I think the records would show that we have, particularly in the last few years. You look at our roster and it is further proof that we are winning with a lot of Virginia kids.
came group last played players team together
Last year, we just had a group of players who came together and played as a team. Hopefully, this year's team can do the same thing.
good helped huge players tech virginia
I think us getting Cornell showed a lot of players that Virginia Tech had something going here. Getting him here was huge for us, and it helped us get a lot more good players down the line.
best continue guys hard left players state usual work
It's just one of those years where more guys than usual left the state, but we'll continue to work hard to get the best players in the state of Virginia.
believe best hopefully national players statement virginia
I made this statement many times. If we can just get the best players from the state of Virginia and keep them here at Virginia Tech, then I really believe we'll play for a national championship, and we've been able to do that once and hopefully we can get back to that game.
best chance job national players took virginia
The day I took the job here, I said if we keep the best players in Virginia at Virginia Tech, we'll have a chance to play for the national championship,
change count finding great hard offensive
I think we're going to have to change how we do that. Great offensive linemen are hard to find and can be hard to sign, but you need them. You can't just count on finding them anymore.
compete matter playing proven
I think we've proven over the years we can compete at that level. We know how to be good, it's just a matter of playing with focus.

I think we've got to help him out some, sometimes with formations and sometimes with backs, ... Whether it's Duane or someone else, you've got to give them some help.
ability beat dynamic good running
I think what you have is a dynamic quarterback that has the ability to beat you running or beat you throwing. Pretty good guy. Pretty good quarterback.
last mean might people program realize team three won
I think sometimes you're a better program than people realize you are. And I think that might be Louisville's case. I mean in the last three years they have won 29 games. They're for real. I think this team can play with anyone.
appreciate changed jimmy tried
Jimmy has changed a lot. He's tried to do things right for this program, and I appreciate him for that.
check guys
I say come back and check with me in two years and let's see where these guys are.
continue deal guy recruit unless wants
I say that if a guy commits to another school, then we shouldn't go back and continue to recruit that guy unless that guy wants us to continue to recruit him and (the recruit says) that. If they say that, then I think you've got to continue to recruit them. That's my whole deal on things.
