If I had a defense like Hal Mumme has, I would be trying them on every kickoff.
So, I didn't say we are going to win a lot, but we are going to play like winners, and we've got a plan in place to teach our guys how to play like winners and play like a champion.
We got to get better on defense, we got to get better on offense, we got to get better everywhere. Simple as that.
We don't have that person. It's hard, ... We're not looking for that person right now because no one plays that well that's a senior or an older guy. We just don't have an older guy that is a dominating-type player that can be a leader.
We are satisfied with the results. We appreciate the NCAA basically agreeing with our proposal. For the next couple of years, we will only have 83 players on scholarship.
We're lousy coaches if we can't play better than the other night. I probably did too much media myself. We need to concentrate on playing.
We're not where we hoped we'd be, but we've still got a lot of season left, ... We're not discouraged. We're disappointed that we haven't improved as we've gone thus far.
We should have won the game. We had our chances. There were a lot of ifs.
To play a team like this and get your quarterback hit time after time after time
We actually get along I think very well, ... I talk with Phil every time I see him.
We beat some teams we hadn't beaten in a long time. They don't own our butts anymore.
Y'all never had a coach apologize for the performance around here? Is that what you're saying? Huh? Really?
We're not a great passing team because our quarterback is not a scrambler and our protection is pretty good, not super, so we have to pick our spots, we just can't fire it 35, 40 times or something bad is going to happen,
We're just looking at him over there, see if he can help us there. He'll probably be back at defense the next day or two.
