I'll cross that bridge if it comes to that, ... The thing I've tried to do all this year is not be lingering around, acting like I'm waiting for another guy's job. I don't believe that's the right way to do it. But now that he doesn't have a job, I guess there will be some discussion. We'll see what happens.
I was wrong. The main reason I said it (a year ago) was to eliminate any excuses we had around here. (But) I didn't realize what other schools have done with facilities. We don't have everything in place.
I guess you guys have to be a coach to understand. Once you spend a year with your guys, that's your team. That's just your team. I try to live in the present.
Certainly, Blake has improved. He has certainly learned what's going on, and he should play much, much better this year. I hope we have some coaches around here so our guys improve from one year to the next.
Obviously, we want to be in the top half every year, and maybe some year everything breaks right and we put together a team that can win it. That certainly is our goal for the future.
(He) was running around like he did last year (before the injury). He couldn't run like that in practice last season.
Cory Boyd and Mike Davis are running very well. Mike is a lot faster than he was last year and Cory is in excellent shape.
They've behaved well and the focus has been pretty good.
Oh, that's a secret, a little secret, ... Nah, we're breaking the balls in. They're all brand new and slippery as can be. Like a watermelon seed when they bring them out of the box. So you try rubbing them in the dirt, the grass, put a little sweat on them. You try everything to get where you can handle them.
If you want to read about some full-blown fights, read about the Tennessee players, not our guys.
The way our pass protection is right now, I don't know if Blake could last anyway.
Shows you how alert we were as a team. It was sad.
I thought Blake played very well for his first performance, and, really, for any performance,
He's a big target and catches everything. As a quarterback, those are the guys you like. He's got a chance to help us win big around here and has a chance to break some records because we're going to be firing.
