Right now E.Z. Smith's situation is strictly whether he is good enough and I am not sure he is better than the guys ahead of him, |
Right now we're going into spring practice a lot like you [media members]. You guys are all wondering what we're going to do. I have to watch. I have to see some people, get a feel for guys at different positions. ... Coming into the spring everything concerns me. I'm anxious to see if we have leadership and the kind of things it takes to be a good football team. |
Right now, we are a decent football team, but we are a project yet. We are on the verge of, hopefully, getting a little bit better this week and a little bit better the following week. |
Right now, we have a lot of younger guys who are involved in the passing game, and right now we're trying to get everyone down on the timing it takes to have a real good pass game, which is something that we haven't had a lot of the last couple years, |
Scott has the potential to be really a big-time running back. But we haven't seen that yet. |
So I don't know how long I can go, ... I don't sit here and say I'm going to coach one more year, two more years. I'm going to coach until I wake up some morning and say 'I've had enough', or the good Lord says 'Stay down, you're down,' and right now that hasn't happened. |
So we are putting 'Chase Freddie' in today, ... a Get Freddie. |
So we're walking and my dad is talking about his memories of Coach Bryant and I'm carrying my son, ... That was a real emotional day. It was really special. |
So, I don't think it's worth the kid's future; he has a great future, so I doubt he will play. |
Some years you get bad luck. Some years you make some mistakes. Some years kids show up and they're not as good as we think they're gonna be. |
Somebody mentioned to me that this time last year we were 0-6 in the Big Ten. I was a lot more confident than any of you or, for that matter, some of the administration. |
Somehow, I'd like to really take over a group of kids in an inner-city school. Kind of mentor them and create a different atmosphere than what I've seen in some inner-city schools that I've been to. |
Steve Roach has an awful lot of ability, but he has kind of been a little bit reluctant, ... He hasn't taken the bull by the horns and gone after it. If Roach decides to play, he has a chance to be a heck of a football player. |
Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good. |
That (darn) mule would go up and down the sidelines ... and they're not house-trained, you know. Well, I stepped in something and I told the (Penn State) school president that we were never going to let that mule or anything else on our field. |
