I think that we've underachieved this season. I think that everyone expected us to do more. |
I think we would be in good shape. I think that small-market clubs would be hurt more than large-market clubs. I think we would be prepared to weather that storm. |
I thought we should be competing for a playoff spot and we weren't even close to that. |
I was impressed, but I wasn't surprised, because we already knew Vince was a great athlete. He showed a super arm. He was really accurate. He put the ball on the numbers. He was accurate throwing on the run, and he didn't have to break stride. It was a great performance. |
I wouldn't say all those decisions didn't work. Certainly, some of the changes didn't help. |
I'm going to meet with Dom after the season, and we'll evaluate the personnel before decisions are made. We've underachieved, and that's not what we're about. We're here to overachieve, not underachieve. |
I'm not going to give charity here to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I want to get this straight, please. |
I'm really interested in sitting down with him and getting to know him. We'll get some quality one-on-one time with him. We'll do the same with Reggie Bush, too. |
I'm totally committed to producing a winning team and I'm going to do everything within my power to see that we do that. I think that we're very close to being a good team, but we have work to do. |
I've known Dan for a very long time. We would like to have him evaluate our team and give us his opinion as to how close we are to being a winning team. |
I've talked to a number of them, and they think that's something we ought to give consideration to. I'm not trying to be an advocate of that, trying to sell it -- this is what we need to do. I'm saying we need to look at it objectively and make that decision. Maybe it's smart, maybe it isn't. If it isn't smart, I certainly don't want to do it. |
If that's all there is, if it's still a minor thing, then I doubt it would have any effect on what we do. |
It became obvious during the interviews that there was one person that really fit our situation and that was Gary. |
It could develop into a longer-term relationship. |
It creates a problem with the playing field....So that's what concerns me, it's the safety for the players. |
