After two years of working with Garrick, I truly believe he has a great future and can be a special coach. He has an impressive background, as a coach and a player, and he will be committed to excellence with our offense and quarterbacks. I'm excited about this move for Garrick and our football team. |
Basically, he's told me he had no involvement in this murder, so we intend to plead not guilty and we intend to go to trial. |
Bret comes to us as a highly regarded coach. Garrick has worked with him, as well as Mike Dunbar . He also received some high praise from Sean Payton (New Orleans Saints head coach), who was a part of my staff at Miami, and that meant a lot to me. Everyone is in agreement Bret will be a great fit for our staff. He has the background to do some great things with our offensive line and the offense as a whole. |
Brett has come along way in being unselfish, a team guy. He'd say the right thing, that he doesn't care about records, but sure he does. Anyone who's touched a ball, if they tell you differently, they are lying. ... If he throws for 3,000 yards, I like our chances. |
Defenses love preparation, they love repetition. I've said from the beginning, I think this game will surprise some people. I think it's going to be a better display than what people might think. |

Does it change anything? Not really, no, |
Does it change anything? Not really, no. It's historical, and it's our job to keep it alive and going. |
East Lansing is a tough, tough venue to play in, |
Fifty points looks bad, but we've been in that kind of game all year long. And we were in that game again today. |
Football coaches have long been the greatest plagiarists in the world. [The spread offense] made the defense play a little more fair. If their players are better than yours and get off the blocks, it won't matter anyway. But if you want to give your kids a fighting chance and not get outnumbered at the point of attack, there's some value in the spread offense. |
Football is about confidence. Three or four weeks ago, we had none ... [but] it's started coming the right way. Now we are playing decisively. |
Give a defense three or four weeks to prepare. Normally, we get two or three days. The defense loves preparation. I think this game will surprise some people. Our defense has been maligned, but they've made plays when they had to. |
Good players show up and play [well] whether they are 18 or 23. He looked like to me he was comfortable and obviously made some plays. |
He has a long way to go, but he accepts that and is one to work hard, and he has enough in his physical style of play to be a good risk. |
