I couldn't think of a better way to go out. |
I don't have an answer - we broke down in all areas. |
I don't know if I'd do anything over. I'm sure I've made mistakes, but nothing that we haven't been able to overcome. |
I don't mean to be short, but we have dealt with this all year. I guess it was when the water hit me on the back when the game was over. That's it. There is nothing like seeing a quarterback take a knee. I love that play. That's my favorite play in football when John takes a knee. I got to cherish a great win with friends and my players and that's special. I couldn't find a better way to go out. |
I don't think he's ever satisfied with how he played, and he played very well, ... He's much stronger, probably 20 pounds heavier than he was a year ago, and that's good weight. |
I feel fortunate to win. You are very lucky if you don't play well and win. I didn't think we played very well today. |
I feel pretty good about (the retirement) because frankly there are not too many guys in my business who can do it. I feel grateful the university has been so good to me and my family. I have a chancellor that has been very supportive of me, and his cooperation on what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I think that is very unique to have a situation like that. |
I grew up a poor kid in Pennsylvania. I went to Nebraska because I saw them play in an Orange Bowl and I wanted to play in that game. |
I guess it's bittersweet that I see him leave. You hate to lose a good man, but you know when you have good people they're going to move on. We'll probably get together in the next couple of days to see what his timetable is. But, obviously, we'll post the position and take a look and see who's out there, but I don't have a timetable right now. It's a little too early. |
I guess when the water hit me at the end, it kind of sunk in, that's it. Get a chance to cherish a great win with a lot of friends and great players, that's special. I couldn't think of a better way to go out. |
I have one other priority that sits a little higher than replacing Jamie, |
I haven't seen any frustration, I really haven't. I pulled him over late in the (Indiana) game and told him to just keep going because I think it's just a matter of time. There have been probably three (runs) this year where he sees nothing but goal line in front of him, and somebody dives and just nips his toes. But he'll get some of those before the year is over. |
I haven't seen any frustration. I really haven't, |
I let him slide on that one; I was very generous today, ... In a tight ballgame, we would have had a very strong conversation. |
