All head coaches do that! ... It's part of it. Now I get to bust people! It's part of it! |
Generally, if you have the right guy and he knows what he's doing, you don't have to lose for very long at all. There's no reason a program like Washington should have two losing seasons with the right guy, I don't care what's happened to them. |
He handled my old Auburn team pretty good. I don't think there is any advice I could give him, just to recognize what a great job he had done. We in our business know who the good guys are and the bad guys are, and he is one of the good guys. |
He is gonna make tough decisions to either change the style to get better or just weather the storm. |
He's not the first coach there to have to deal with this standard. You really have to overcome the party-school atmosphere that Colorado has ... it's something that was there before him. |
I always busted his chops! |
I know everybody wants my dad to fire my brother [ Jeff ], |
I know my dad is sticking around for one reason, to play for another national championship. The number of wins doesn't make a difference. But now that it's obviously down to him and Joe, it's in his face every day. |
I still think people think of Utah at that mid-major level, ... It's so hard to make people believe that's going to keep going. People are always going to assume, 'Hey, it's Utah.' |
I think the great, positive attitude and the hard work are the things that made Rodney Allison a great coach for as long as I've known him. |
If Steve struggles, I don't think there are going to be any tears shed in the coaching community. That's because he made us all cry when we had to play against him. |
If you have the right guy, it can happen quickly. If you have the wrong guy, it can take time or never happen at all. |
Now you find it's hard to change when you're so successful for so many years. And he's had so many people work with him that are part of that style. |
On a bad day, he would just beat you bad. On a good day, he would humiliate you. |
See, my dad was always the underdog, |
