It sounded like he was getting things on track. I'm just really embarrassed and sorry for the people that he hurt. I did everything I could to help him, but apparently it wasn't enough.
Some people feel like we didn't do anything to him. But I imagine by suspending him, I took several million dollars away from Lawrence Phillips. He's paid a price.
Kate will bring unquestioned integrity, values and work ethic to the lieutenant governor's office, ... She is not afraid to challenge the status quo, and she believes, as I do, that Nebraskans are not satisfied with 'pretty good' or 'good enough.' With Kate on our team, I am convinced more than ever that we can transform Nebraska into a world-class performer on every level.
I think he pretty well had run the string out.
There's no question I had a name recognition advantage, but as time went on people started to focus on the issues and not who was a football coach and who wasn't.
A lot of great memories with Barry over the years. The thing I always appreciated about our relationship is that it was always amicable no matter the circumstances. You see so many rivalries like Ohio State-Michigan and Florida-Florida State get nasty. This one was never that way.
Our state's foster-care system has been badly in need of major reform for quite some time.
I think we have a lot of confidence, and I think we've got a lot of athletic ability. We have put in more offense in a week and a day than we ran all of last season. We had 14 seniors last year, but seven of those were first-year players. So now, most of our kids have been in the system at least a year, with some having two or three years' experience.
Rarely do you have everything come together, a good supporting class and that key quarterback there for three years. Anytime you break in a quarterback, no matter, how talented it's hard to go out and win every game.
The odds are always against you no matter what your previous history is. You have to overcome the tendency to relax.
As a college coach, I felt you could make a difference in a player's life. There was an educational aspect I thought was important.
Everybody's got to do what they've got to do.
Orlando... So many courses & great deals, especially in the summer!
By the time I get to the locker room, I'm done.
