[Texas Tech athletic director] Gerald Myers called me in and said they didn't want me to leave, they wanted me to be the next coach. |
He's got it made here, |
He's really pleased with the 8,000 that were here. But 7,000 people missed a hell of a game. |
I know he wants the record for sure, after that I don't know, |
I love the Indiana kids to death, but I have no feeling toward Mike Davis at all. I try not to watch them at all. |
I think it's been a down year for the conference. The guys on TV seem to hammer our league and that doesn't help. With the bad press we've gotten, it doesn't surprise me we're only going to get three or four teams in. |
I'm at a point where probably in the next couple of years I'm gonna go coach football. It's something I enjoy. I don't need a paycheck for it, |
I'm hoping he could go three or four more. |
I'm not looking to get my old man out. But I think he can relax more instead of being here all the time. He needs his time away to do his fishing and hunting. He'll be 65 in October, his health is good but it will get to a point where he'll wonder how much more he wants to accomplish. There are some places he'd like to fish in South America and Africa that he can't because when it's their summer it's our winter [during basketball season]. We've got the continuity in place now. This has worked out really well. |
It shows that we can play in tight game, instead of getting buried. But we still need to be able to win on the road. |
It's truly an honor to carry on my dad's legacy here at Texas Tech. |
My job is to prolong his career. I hope he has a lot of good years left, especially with the recruits we have coming in. |
The opening statement is actually from coach himself. |
They'll press like Iowa State and push it like Roy (Williams) did when he was at Kansas. |
We just watched it again on tape. You can tell they were trying to foul him, but they're not getting a really good hold of him. It's a judgment call. Fortunately, it went our way. |
