I think by most measuring rods, you can already call it a success. ... I think the emotion I feel the most ... is pride. And my sense is that's the way our fans in Mexico feel. It's a moment for great pride. |
I think in the next several months we can bring something to fruition, |
I think one thing is clear already, based on what I have been presented with, that no one within the Panthers organization was in any way, shape or form involved with any of these players who were playing outside the lines. |
I think people will need long-term help, |
I think that I see (finding a replacement) as one of opportunity. I told the staff that we have a lot of things in place, a lot of initiatives under way. |

I think, which frequently happens in emotionally charged situations, people are unfairly reduced to being caricatures when there's no reason for that, |
I thought we were getting beyond stereotypes, especially considering the success of minority coaches in our league. But that didn't carry out in the hiring process this time.
