base business coach fan few good guys happened hey honest mirror nature past realize stay upset
I know some guys that will do anything to stay here or play here or do whatever. Hey man, be honest with yourself. Because you have to look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'Am I good enough or not good enough?' That's the way it is. I've been a coach long enough to realize the nature of this business and what you have to do. I know a lot of things have happened the past few years. I know the fan base is really upset with the way we've played, and they should be.

I hope I got all of that out of the way.

I'm an early guy and a late guy.
hardly next stand thinking wake
I wake up the next day - my balance, my vision, everything is gone. I couldn't hardly see anything. I couldn't stand up straight. My equilibrium was gone. So, something was wrong. Being a little stubborn, I'm thinking that it's going to go away.

That's right. It's very simple. To prevent the 'Skins from scoring, we must concentrate on one thing: keeping the Washington offense on the field. How do you score 17 points on 120 yards of total offense?

I still work regular hours. I'm feeling a lot better.

days finish happen hurts line sticking thinking
It hurts you in your gut. It hurts you all over. There's not very many days that you go through that it's not sticking in your craw. When you line up, when you finish up. You're always thinking about that because you don't want that to happen again.
action guys played shaping
With the guys being down and injured, have not played in live action yet, we need to see everybody. The way things are shaping up, we're getting guys back one at a time.
bit both burned coming consistent ends leaving looking sometime work
When you look at a coach's life, you are looking at coming to work each day before 6 o'clock and leaving sometime after 12. If you have to be at work before 6, you are up around 4 something. You can't do that on a consistent basis. I think I burned both ends a little bit too much.
health soul
Without your health you have nothing. It made me do some soul searching.
