He's conscientious, and he understands that we depend on him to show leadership and do the things we have to do on that side of the ball. Chris has shown his ability not only as a football player, but being able to persevere through some really difficult times. He's shown that if you have a great attitude and mental strength you'll be able to go through that and progress.

We were playing against a great football team, a team I knew was very athletic on both sides of the ball. But I didn't know how athletic.

It (Saturday's game) was very positive for Chris. I think it helped him to be on the sideline and watch Josh.

Usually when a new coach comes in you have wholesale changes to the staff. Because of the late start that didn't happen, but you always want to have people that you are familiar with.
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.
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.

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.
