I guarantee you teams are going to start off saying, 'Don't let Ricky Williams run the ball,' |
I had to take the emotion out of it. Once I realized this was what was best for me and my family, I knew I needed to pursue it again. |
I haven't ruled out putting Dorin back there and pitching him the ball. |
I know the responsibility that comes with being a head coach, and knew the work and commitment it would take to build a top-10 program. And that's the goal, |
I love that expression, I think Bobby Knight said it: It's not how many plays you can run. It's how well do your players play. That's about where we're at right now. |
I must not have done a good enough job myself preventing our guys from reading the newspapers and magazines. We were thinking we were a little further along or a better football team than we showed. |
I preach to the players: 'You've got to eliminate distractions if you're going to win football games,' |
I probably won't do that until two weeks before the season begins. The best guys will play. |
I pulled into West Allegheny and we were 1-4 but I went in there acting like we were 5-0. |
I really like it. I was a little skeptical the way we were doing it here and putting everything on the replay official in the box. But they've done a nice job if they thought that something might be incorrect of stopping it and taking a look. |
I really think that Ricky was put in such a fish bowl in New Orleans, ... And now he's in Miami, and he's not in a fish bowl. He's really not. From an outside standpoint, he might be. But not from within this locker room. |
I think it was just a throwback weekend. We're back to our originals. But it was neat that the guys did appreciate it. |
I think Kevin Collier will have an opportunity to make an impact early. |
I think Shane is the toughest back we have, I didn't realize how tough he was. You can see that by the yards he gets after he gets hit. But I also like that he has had some runs where he outran people. He is one of those backs who wouldn't time real good if he ran against the clock, but he can run as fast as he has to when someone is chasing him. |
I think there are different scenarios that if you have to deal with them as a team, they help force your mindset to cope with circumstances, |
