Every day he's shown something. Every day he shows up for practice. He's an impressive guy. |
Every player would admire what he's done, just like every player would admire what Woody Hayes did at Ohio State, what coach Bowden did at Florida State, what Joe Paterno did at Penn State. |
Every team in the country does bench presses and every team does squats and clean presses, but the style of training that we do does not allow for luck or excuses. Maybe the ball bounced our way, but we don't believe in luck. I believe that our guys are trained mentally, and I thought they played terrific. |
Every time I confronted him, he would always come back and say, 'I don't do that,' ... I said, 'Fine. It's just reinforcing the fact that you're an extremely poor leader.' |
Everything. He's big, strong, tough, competitive, intelligent, has high character and he can throw the heck out of it. |
From what I heard they had a lack of depth on the D-line and they had plenty of linebackers so that's a big reason they went to the 3-3, ... But, they're playing it pretty well and now they're about 75-80% of the time three-down. |
Gavin won't be back playing football in the fall. |
Go look at the great programs in the country; you don't hear that. So we've got to change that mentality. I'm happy to say it's changing very rapidly. |
Going into the Georgia game, there was a serious weakness, and that was the offense, so we did some things to, obviously, become more functional. FSU, we tried to get guys healthy and we can also work on our weaknesses, and we had a lot of discussion about how to prepare for games, because I really felt we failed as coaches and the leadership of our team did a poor job because the week before (a loss to South Carolina) was a bad deal. |
Great offensive lines have great chemistry. We're not a great offensive line, but those kids are all young. I really love the chemistry. I don't like them as a group, but I think there's a good chemistry. |
Guard play has been a little spotty, ... Our tackles actually played one of their better games against LSU, Lance [Butler] and Randy [Hand]. But our guard play - we're trying to find the right combination. |
He [Cornelius] is going to have a bigger role in the offense, and [tight end] Tate Casey has to get more involved. |
He deserved an opportunity to play. He's a very talented player. I was very pleased with him. He ran hard. A 230-pound back needs to run like he ran. |
He felt like it was fundamentally sound, that it wasn't a gimmick, ... Coming from him, that's the ultimate compliment. |
He gave as good a speech to our team as I've ever heard. And the whole thing was, 'Take care of your boys.' He said he could not come out of the game because he'd let Michael Irvin down or Troy Aikman down. You start throwing out names like that, you start talking about Super Bowls and everybody puts their fork down and you have complete attention. |
