We just learning about this. At this point, this is being handled by the university's Student Affairs office, and we'll follow along with whatever action the university takes.
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.
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.
It's so great to be standing in front of you representing what this university has always been about: winning championships, national championships.
There's more stuff forthcoming. The university continues to work to bring this to a resolution. It's going to be in the next couple days, we'll know more.
It has been a great process, ... It has been really fun to put the thing together with the challenge of trying to replace really terrific football coaches. Now we have to go out and prove what we're all about. There is a lot of scrutiny and question marks that I think are valid, but I think this group is going to do a great job.
I think, the more, the better. We've been in the spotlight so long, it's become normal.
People are always looking for the hot new deal. I don't particularly like it because it takes away from the standard traditional football stuff.
Without a question it was a phenomenal effort. You can't take anything away from a special performance like that.
We couldn't stop them when we had to.
We couldn't stop them, and the quarterback ran all over the place.
Well, we couldn't stop them when we had to. The quarterback ran all over the place. This is their night. It's wonderful doing what we've been doing. We didn't get it done.
Well, they have brought that same concept. They have a broader spectrum of things that they do in their offensive game plan. The thing I am really impressed with is how well they can execute that.
We had hoped to discourage them in the running game.
