It was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. It was brutal. It was the toughest situation anyone has ever been in. |
It's working out very, very nicely. |
Keith Brooking of course is the worst injury. He does have some chipped vertebrates in his back. How long that will be I don't know, a lot of it depends on when the soreness goes away, |
Never is a bad word, to say you'll never be a head coach again. But am I actively looking? No. Did Bob call me and ask me if I was interested in being the head coach? No. He called and asked if I was interested in helping him by being a consultant. |
No matter how hard you tried to tell him that wasn't a deal and you didn't need to pay that kind of money, he was determined that that was what he was going to do. So that's as much the owner as it is anybody. Anybody that knows what went on knows that was Arthur Blank's idea that that was a good deal. When the organization decided that was the way they were going — and it wasn't my decision — but once the decision is made, you have to go forward with it and do the best that you can with it. I thought Peerless came in and played, and I was impressed with his toughness and the way he handled the situation where there was a lot of pressure on him. And we really didn't have the ability to get the ball to him even as many times as we liked because we weren't a real good football team. |
Nobody wanted Peerless Price more than [owner] Arthur Blank, |

So that's as much the owner as it is anybody. Probably won't come out that way, but anybody that knows what went on knows that was Arthur Blank's idea. |
The crowd immediately quieted down. We had a chance to execute. |
Unfortunately, even as Christians, we do things wrong. We're all sinners. |
What's a spinning fullback? |
When Arthur told me he had made the decision about the end of the year, I knew it had to come to a fullness [Wednesday], ... I'm an eternal optimist, so yeah, it was a surprise. But I'm also realistic enough about coaching to understand this is how it is in the NFL. |
When he came out of the tunnel in the pregame warm-ups, the response was unbelievable. I had been in the National Football League for 18 years at that time, and I had never seen anybody get booed that loudly in pregame warm-ups. It just didn't stop. It was the worst thing I had ever seen, the dangdest thing I've ever seen. |
When you're that successful running the football, you don't change what you did. I would say that's probably the way we will go. |
