coaches great job mandate motivate potential risk role
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.
ability compete exactly expecting high players positions saturday toughness
For some positions that is exactly what it is. They have to show that they have the toughness as well as the ability to compete at a high level. I'm expecting the players to come out on Saturday and show exactly what they have.
positions replace
As a team, you have to have balance. We went out and recruited positions of need. We had to replace some quarterbacks - that was a position of need.
certainly earned evaluation position process starts
Certainly the position has to be earned and this is the first phase. The evaluation process starts now.
energetic gets good hard head ok pads point schemes stay training understand
At this point it is hard to tell how good we will be, but we will really be able to tell once everyone gets the pads on and we head into training camp. We still need to understand the schemes a little better, but we will be OK if they stay enthusiastic and energetic like they were today.

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.

He played low and stayed low. The way they double-teamed him showed the highest level of respect.
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.
helped positive sideline watch
It (Saturday's game) was very positive for Chris. I think it helped him to be on the sideline and watch Josh.
convenient situation spoke
It is a challenge. I spoke about things being uncomfortable sometimes. It's not always going to be a situation where it's going to be convenient for you.
explained pull
No, it was not explained to me. I was just told to pull them out and that is what I did.
ahead along athletic character looking player recruiting talent thorough time year
Normally, we like to get a year ahead on recruiting and evaluating talent. But even in the time we had, we were very thorough in looking at each player academically and character wise, along with his athletic abilities.
chance high people prove school sports
We wanted to give people a chance to come out and prove that they can come from high school and play at this level.
