We'll get him ready. He's been in the league quite a while. He should be able to pick up on what we're doing.
In my experience I've learned women are better streakers.
Cheating is cheating. Some coaches believe if you can get away with it, cheating is smart. I have no respect for those guys.
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'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 going home losers tonight, but I'm proud of our effort. What can I say? There were a lot of ifs and buts. We had a chance. We didn't get it done.
We've got area's where we think the freshmen are going to play. Don't want to name them but we've got to wait until they get here and see how fast they can learn.
We've got to slow him down some. He looks like those linebackers that play at Georgia and Tennessee.
To finish second in the SEC East is a wonderful season for our team. Obviously, we were not picked that high. To qualify for a bowl game, that was our big goal for our team. We felt it was achievable and realistic and our guys went out and won seven games to go to the bowl game.
The only thing I think I got was a little humility to the fact that you have a greater appreciation for all coaches. Sometimes you can coach your heart out, hard as you can, and the other guy just may have a better team and better players.
I don't want to coach too far into my 60s. By then, I'll be playing golf four or five times a week.
What I've been telling everyone that loves Carolina football is that we are going to put a team out there that, number one, is in good shape. We're going to be fit, we are going to be able to play the whole game and we're not going to poop out.
I do have some young coaches, but I don't really believe that is the biggest problem we have here.
