I have an obligation first and foremost for the safety of our players. |
I have not coached in this game, but I have watched this game from afar. I have great respect for our opponent, but I also have great respect for the University of Florida and what this game is going to mean this early in the year. |
I have seen a change in that one. He's a worker now. I really like the way Ray and Marcus Thomas have become accountable guys in everything they do, not just football. |
I have to be careful about how many nice things I say about them, |
I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved. Well-prepared players make plays. I have yet to be in a game where the most prepared team didn't win. |
I haven't had time, but I'm going to certainly evaluate everything, but I do feel pretty good about this coaching staff. I feel very good about the work ethic and I feel good about the character. There are some fundamental issues - we have to get a lot better. All you have to do is watch the tape, we're not a clean team. But we're first year. Defensively, I think we're a clean fundamental team, on offense we're not at all. We'll evaluate that. ... We're going to certainly tweak how we do things. |
I hear that he's leaving or whatever. No, he's not leaving. He's coming back. |
I heard about it and heard about it and sure enough I took my headphones off and watched that, ... I know you're not supposed to, but I took the headset off so I could hear. And that was awesome. |

I hope he can play. If he can play, I hope he can play the way he did pre-Vanderbilt. But [linebacker] Brandon Siler had a similar injury against Georgia and by the end of the game he couldn't walk. |
I hope they were offside. To make a call like that, I didn't see it, but I thought it was a tough call. |

I just heard about it not much before (the media) heard about it, |
I just heard about it not much before you guys, ... He's making a statement that he thinks he didn't do something, so I don't care. He will not play for Florida until he gets it cleared up. |
I just think that's important to do that. I've done that all the time. |
