I've always been on the field. The guys I grew up under always did it. The guys who taught me what I know were on-the-field guys. That's my background. I don't know the other way. I guess everybody here has been upstairs. |
I've been fortunate enough to have some people call me and ask questions and see if I'm interested. Right now, I haven't made any decisions. By no means do I want to hurt Auburn. Right now, I'm planning on being at Auburn unless something happens. |
It appears that that will be the last meaningful legal appeal unless something comes up, ... Fundamentally, the decision of the Florida courts will remain unchanged and the federal courts have declined to get involved. |
It was fun right up until kickoff. Right up until (Georgia Tech's) 16-play drive for a touchdown, it was real fun, ... Then it wasn't fun anymore. |
It would be different if I was stepping into a place where they'd been terrible on defense and had a whole bunch of turnover within the staff. But the three coaches back are good football coaches and nucleus of our defense is back. I'm just going to go out there and try not to mess it up too bad. |
It's a great stadium, great crowd, ... That's what Auburn football is about. But it's unacceptable to lose at home and that's what we did. It can't happen anymore. |
It's a mindset of theirs where they believe they are physically tougher than you are, mentally tougher than you are, and they try to take it to you. That's a challenge for us. |
It's not fair to Brandon Cox and our offense to get in a hole 10-0, ... It's not acceptable and can't happen any more. I thought we were passive, especially early. It allowed the quarterback to get in a rhythm and have some easy throws. Once our guys got their confidence and started tightening down, I thought we did okay. |
Jonathan controls the front seven, gets everyone lined up and takes care of the blitz package. He's been a great leader. He's an outstanding young man. He accepts coaching. He's done everything I've asked. |
Make no mistake about it, this is without a doubt the most talented, physical offensive football team we've seen this year, ... It's not even close. I don't care what their record is or how bad USC beat them. |

Our corners were way too soft early on. I don't know why, ... I don't know if they were just intimidated by (Johnson) or intimidated by the speed. You know, we started two guys who hadn't started before and they were giving way too much cushion. So we locked down and got closer up on (Tech's receivers) and it seemed to be effective. It just was too little, too late. |

Our secondary grew up a little in the second half. There were some positive things going on. |
