Absolutely. (And) the more we do, the more we're going to do. |
Coach Nutt was gracious enough to allow Alex back into the Razorback family. Alex is very humbled by that act. He knows Arkansas is a special place and the right place for him right now. |
He has spent the last month exploring and evaluating what's best for his future and it's come down to these options. Alex simply wants to get better as a young man and a student and as a quarterback. That's the bottom line and he's just trying to come to the right conclusion. |
If a guy is too smart, they wonder, 'Is he a football player?' Does he think too much? |
It hurts them if they had a chance to trade him. They might have been able to use him to get a quarterback. |
It's a minefield. Any team that calls me unsolicited is a red flag. |
It's not like you can pay him $5 or $6 million (at Iowa). It's a case of, either he wants to do it - or he doesn't want to do it. |
People often ask me whether Alex was adopted. But I promise you, he's all ours. |
The two most popular sports in America are pro football and college football. And on draft weekend, they get married. |
There's only one football and you want to get it into the hands of your best ball-carrier. |
This doesn't necessarily mean Alex is leaving Arkansas. Arkansas is still very much in the mix, but he's in the process of evaluating what's best for his future. |
Unfortunately, a lot of coaches have grasped the concept of self promotion and Tom never cared about self promotion. It is a mystery with Tom Moore. But the guy has never played politics. . . . Now he's at the stage where it's an age issue. |
When I was covering them, they had nothing and the league knew it. I mean, in 1986 David Archer led the NFC in passing for the first half of the year and that was it. |
You can tell he's worked on his craft. He is so much improved since last year. He's a dynamic guy and you can see he's getting better. |
