The whole world is watching us. You never feel you can say enough about this stuff.
He's going to have an operation. It's going to be a lengthy recovery.
They're going to be revved up and prepared as they can get,
I think, the more, the better. We've been in the spotlight so long, it's become normal.
I don't have much connection with the sense of history being made. Somewhere down the road, I'll put sense to it. Right now, I'm in the middle of it, focused on the game.
It was really a unique experience. I had been at the University of Pacific for my first three years coaching. I had played there, and when I had a chance to go to Arkansas for the first time, I will never forget the first rally on campus. It was crazy, and the energy was awesome, and the band was playing and the students went nuts. It was the first sense of what big-time college football was like, to be on the inside of it. That year at Arkansas was the year that really energized me about being a college coach and liking it and coaching on the big level. I got captured by it.
That is what it takes to disrupt a rhythm.
I really need to see that play again. I didn't even get a chance to look at the replay, but it looked like a phenomenal play. It looked like he got stuck up in a pile of guys and he was able to spin around and get back out to get going. It was just a terrific play by an amazing football player.
Reggie just tried too hard on that play and he'll regret it forever. Reggie was just trying to get a TD.
He's OK, he's getting better, ... He was really sick the day before but he's coming back now.
You could tell early that we could do what we did. We've been in that situation so much, our guys are familiar with the feeling.
Surgery may be down the road. It's not at all the time to do that. If after about two weeks he hasn't responded, then (team doctors) have to think more seriously about what the next step is.
I have not been contacted, I don't expect to be contacted, and I'm not interested.
A bunch of us got fired at the end. It was a great first experience in the sense that it was the worst thing you could ever do in terms of coaching and development. Getting kicked out the first year, it was miserable.
