This is one of the games that you live for. The stands will be packed. I would think the players would want to excel in a game like this.

We'll find out this weekend because Howard has an excellent defense that's ranked nationally. They bring a lot of pressure (and) blitzes so I think this may end up being the determining game as to who will emerge as quarterback for us.

I think we blanketed the state pretty well. We were able to get some players we think can help us.

We still won't be great risk-takers. That is something that I am going to mandate for myself. We have to do a great job of evaluating potential recruits. It's also our role as coaches to motivate and let them know what they need to do to graduate.
good players trying understanding
We want to see the things that the players have learned. They should have a good understanding of what we are trying to do by now.
change coming direction entire evaluate felt gone necessary recruiting season time
Having gone through an entire season and being able to evaluate the entire staff, I felt the need to go in another direction with some of my staff. It's not the most opportune time to make this change with recruiting coming up, but it was a necessary move.

But we did have a conversation or two about advantages and disadvantages.
extensive meet players staff
I have mandated to our staff to get out and meet coaches. They need to see our logo. They need to know that we are out doing extensive evaluations on their players academically and athletically. FAMU will be visible.
