I'm not going to come down and all of a sudden be able to get food for everyone. I'm not going to open a McDonald's, ... Until power is back up, until there are places where you can go get gas or get something to eat, (we decided) I'm better off being here. |
I'm not sure who all the guys are. I'm still learning them, |
I'm shocked every time we lose, ... I'm very disappointed in losing, and we should never accept losing. When you lose at home, it's even worse. I've been fortunate throughout my career to have won most of the games. This is not very fun. |
I'm still close to him. He's a great friend, a great coach. When we line up against each other, we're not friends. Afterwards, we'll shake hands and wish each other well. |
I'm sure I would miss it, but at some point it has to end. At some point, you have to give it up. |
I'm very surprised we started 1-4 last year. If we go 4-1 this year, it wouldn't surprise me. |
I've found myself over the last 24 hours a couple times saying, 'Why me?' Or, 'Why of all places ...' |
I've found myself over the last 24 hours a couple times saying, 'Why me?' or, 'Why of all places ...' ... As quickly as that thought pops in my head ? and it probably pops in my head more than I'd like it to ? I try to remind myself of the things to be thankful for, which there are a lot. |
I've had bruises before, but it turned blue and then it turned yellow, |
I've had so many people say, 'Well, you can't go out that way. You've got to come back and redeem yourself and redeem this team's season. But in all honesty, if this is it, I have gone out on top. I mean, I really have. One season does not define me, no matter how good or how bad it is. |
I've never been 0-4; I'd never been 0-3. |
I've played against those guys a lot of times, but I really felt like going into this game that this was the best I've ever seen their defense play. After this game, I still feel that way. |
I've said this over the last several years: It can happen to anyone. It really can. I'm not immune to it. I think that the organization and myself have a great relationship, and they can be honest with me because I've always been honest. But that could happen. |
I've tried my best not to analyze not only this season but a game like that the other night. I don't know if we can say the rest of the games this year have been embarrassing, but I think the other night was. |
I've worked with him for a long time and know him. There are a lot of things that Bubba does extremely well and some things maybe not as well as other guys in this league. But he's ours. And I hope we get him back. |
