I'm very much convinced of it. I've been with the guy all this time. He's had a significant amount of drug tests. You know, so it depends on how you define that problem. But I'd just like to say we're going to be very supportive of Ricky. |
I've always believed the players I coach can learn a lot from the success of their predecessors, and that's especially true here in Miami. |
I've known him since he was 14 or 15 years old. |
I've looked at all of them. Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu, right? |
I've never really talked to him about [the Michigan State situation], but he doesn't seem any different to me. Unfortunately, what we learn as assistant coaches doesn't always prepare us to be head coaches. I think if he ever gets the opportunity to do it again, he'll be able to do just fine. |
I've worked with Kirby and Bo and know the qualities they possess. They both have coached at successful major college programs, allowing them to make a smooth transition to the NFL. They are excellent teachers and will be positive additions to our staff. |
Ideally, we would like to keep many of those players on our roster, but we are simply not able to do that. |
If a player isn't performing relative to the so-called investment that you have in him, sometimes you have to make tough decisions. We were committed to the guy. He was committed. If anything, I feel personally responsible that we didn't make it work with the guy. |
If Florida State had a workout last week that ends up on there, I can pull it up and look at it and watch those particular players, even though they may not have been on there two weeks ago when I looked at those particular players at that time. |
If Sam can't play, it may make us make some other changes, |
If that is what it takes and gives us the best opportunity to win, the best opportunity to be successful and play winning football on offense, it's not something we wouldn't consider doing, |
If we can get all of the guys to play as well as they are capable of playing, we could have a good football team, |
If we can get it worked out, maybe he will have the opportunity to play. If he can't, we will have his services later. |
If we don't have an agreement this year, obviously it's going to affect the cap in an adverse way in terms of what's available to spend on players. |
If we just didn't do that kind of stuff, we wouldn't have to worry about it. |
