I flew out to Los Angeles to tape a one-hour show, and it took 5 1/2 hours. I called my wife and said, 'Screw this stuff.' I just wanted the opportunity to coach again. I'm around guys who are friends and good football coaches. I think it's going to be a good experience. |
I give a lot of credit to our players. This is the closest group of players I have ever been with. |
I got a nice e-mail from Tom Coughlin . 'Thinking of you.' How about that? He said he thought I was doing a nice job handling things. I'll tell you what I wrote him back. |
I had a long week. |
I have a lot of confidence in our team, |
I have to learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes in meetings. |
I haven't talked to Mr. Benson about any of that at all. I haven't talked about those possibilities yet. I would like to know something before the end of the season. But that's up to him. |
I know he's frustrated by the whole thing, ... not just by the play on the field, but with everything that's going on off the field. He's got a lot more on his plate than I do. |
I know it's the preseason and I should probably look at it as the glass is half-full, but I'm a coach, and I see the glass half-empty, ... We didn't play well tonight. |
I know our players would like to play them all here. But if we have to play some in Baton Rouge, that's a good alternative because of our fan base and our people there. But we still have to travel. |
I know that the Charlotte [reaction] took me by surprise [last Sunday]. It was very nice to give us a standing ovation. |
I know what their agenda was: They would like us to play in our home state, ... And our players like that, too, to be honest with you. It's just more of a travel issue and a family issue. But I'm sure our families and their families and friends will go to Baton Rouge to see the game and be with them. |
I look up at the scoreboard and there are signs, 'Let's Go Giants'. The referees, when they flipped the coin, they asked us if we wanted heads or tails. They had no idea who the home team was and who was away. The crowd noise we had to deal with, we never had to do a silent count at home. |
I really don't know why they're (overlapping the games). |
I really don't know. I'm sure they have something in mind for their head coach, what they want to do, and it will follow its course. |
