It's so great to be standing in front of you representing what this university has always been about: winning championships, national championships.
Reggie has had a great season. He's done everything. Every play he's on the field, he's been an enormous factor.
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.
He's so unique and so explosive and such a great competitor. He has all the physical talents to do it. But he was on a real good football team with some great players around him. It's unfair to expect Reggie to go to Houston and carry that team on his shoulders.
Obviously, the focus goes to Sanchez. He gets a great opportunity to be in charge, run the whole thing. We'll just try to maximize that, get Mike McDonald some work and wait for J.D. to get better.
He's done it with a style. He's taken on all comers, ... He's done all of the things you would hope a guy would do with a program. I think it's a great marriage.
He's done a lot of great things. He's picked a ton of stuff up.
He is growing in ways that great players grow,
A good part of his background has been working with the defensive line, so he'll contribute greatly there. And having him serve as the defensive coordinator will free me up and make us a much more efficient staff.
It's great to get this close to the game.
I'm in great shape, and I haven't complained about it at any time. The university has been great and has been proactive about making it known that they want me around.
This is a great challenge because of the attention,
It's a smaller kind of setting, but he's got great instincts for the job. Nick has taken that program over. He's a very hard-nosed, demanding coach who's going to get it done.
It's nice to have Nick back. He's an outstanding coach with great enthusiasm and fire. (He) knows our system well and was using it at Idaho.
