Thank goodness for the city of Memphis and especially the University of Memphis. I don't know what else we could do. I know our football team is very appreciative of everything Memphis is doing for us.

It's another important day. You work all week to get ready, and we're just waiting to see how the players will perform.
coaches good league overcome players ready
The league is going to be very competitive this year, especially with the new teams. There are a lot of good players and good coaches in this league and it is going to be tough. We already have a lot to overcome so there is much to do to get ready for the season.

These players aren't thinking about football right now.

There were certain things that we had concerns about that we wanted to take a close look at, given the age of the player. We're looking at him over a long term. We want to make sure. We had some concerns or questions that we wanted answered, and that's what we're still searching for are the answers.
football good hurt running
Their quarterback really had a good game. He really hurt us running the football.
ability depth felt learning needed proven shown spring start
They're still learning but they've shown some things. They've got to start sometime. We needed some depth and we really felt (Morgan and Bradshaw) had the ability to play there and I think they've proven that. If you don't do it now, you can't do it in the fall. They need this spring for learning.
continue few kids obviously point points program schools sell strong
Obviously at this point in time, most of these kids have it narrowed down to a few schools at most. I think you just continue to sell your program. You continue to sell the strong points of your program and we think we've got a lot to sell.

It would have changed the personality of the game.

Jeremy will get the majority of the reps. He's had a real good spring. I think all three have had good springs and we would like to get them at least one series with the first offense.

The thing you try to do is create an atmosphere and a culture that will allow people to be successful, ... ... We've got great people in this organization who are really talented. I think the important thing in our position, in the front office, is to allow them to do their jobs and to be there to support them and help them.
