He never once has made any emphasis on his last home game or his last game. It’s just been status quo.

I like the way he composes himself on the field. They’ll continue to make ground.

I would like to assemble a group of coaches that carry two common traits: great passion and great integrity. Kerry has great passion for the game, for recruiting, for his players and for people overall.

I feel pretty good about having an experienced guy like John back there. He’s been through some battles before, and we’ll need him to lead us through some more battles when we start our season....

Oh, no, … I commented (on) the reaction of some of their players. … At that point in time, the block was totally legal. I have no problem with that. I just don’t like to...

I’m a big believer in competition bringing out the best in people. There’s plenty of time for this all to shake out.

He’s a big body that can run. I would like him to have a little bit more ability to flip his hips and run in certain situations. But I think he can really be a...

I’ll never forget opening up a fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant on the very day that Fry offered me the job, … It said, ‘Choose a job you love and you’ll never work a...

We’re going to try to get as many people in the stands as possible. Make it a game-day environment.

He gave me those notes to reflect on the move, just like Coach Holtz had given him the notes. It’s great to hear different philosophies on coaching.

It was different. I was sure to notice when Coach Alvarez used to come and sit in on my meeting or when he was in my drills, so I was trying to be a little...

I’m excited because it allows the guy to roam.

He drinks Mountain Dew with Red Bull. It’s the last guy that needs that combination. Before practice, I think he has a Pop Tart sandwich with peanut butter in the middle.

They got coached all week, I’ll say that.

In all three phases.

He really has trouble when he gets inside too far. He’s definitely one of those guys that has to view the play from one angle. I think that will get better and better for him...

It’s been called, but the ones that you want to see called, probably don’t get called. Put it that way.

Anybody we offered (a scholarship to) in the state of Wisconsin is in this program now.

He has been a key element in numerous successful programs and he has been the architect of some of college football’s best defenses during the past 25 years.

A lot will be decided on Saturday. (I want) to see how our guys handle certain situations. At times, we’ve practiced very well in all phases of the game.

He’s a guy that didn’t hesitate at all, just jumped right into the challenge and looked forward to the opportunity. He’s definitely a big guy that can move around and do good things.

He is just beginning to get his feet wet. But he definitely will strike you. He’s not afraid of anything.

was in our ear a lot more this week than he’s ever been since I’ve been here.

He’s a guy who can make a difference – make you miss – and he has the speed to pop through a little hole. They really take a pride in their running game. They’ll take...

The thing that Mike brings to the table is that he’s a competitor. He plays hard every play. And he’s willing to do anything we ask of him.

We really think, hopefully, all three of those guys will hit the ground running June 12 when we start our summer conditioning.

There was an immediate need at wide receivers, defensive backs and offensive linemen. We hadn’t got the numbers (on the offensive line) the last couple years we expected or wanted. So I wanted to go...

I want to be one that recruits harder than any head football coach in the country. I want to be involved on a daily basis in that capacity because I can make a difference.

What I want to do is put them in a pressure situation. And because we’re going ones against the world, the ones should be able to execute and do certain things.

It was a unique experience to get out there and mix it up for the fans. I was pleased with the turnout. We wanted to get as many people in the stands as possible to...

John’s got to get used to where the routes are actually being (run) at and get used to the receivers so they are consistent. That is one of the things that really jumped out early...

Those guys are steadily making ground.

Mark has been a pleasant surprise for us. He has really responded well; the keys, the reads, he’s got great ability, just his overall presence. It’s good because he can now make plays both ways.

The thing that you’ve got to be always conscientious of when you’re playing a team that likes to chop block, … is not overemphasizing to the point that they’re looking for the chop block instead...

We were putting some balls on the ground. The picks, as many times as we get our hands on the ball, we can’t put them on the ground. That changes the momentum of a game...

I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. He sees an edge, he’ll take it in a short fashion. He’s got great power.

After the second day, he’s got it mastered, too. He’s just a guy who takes a lot of pride in what we ask him to do.

He had to do certain things just to get out of the state, but I really admire his strength through this whole thing.

We’ve been trying to sell it. I know there won’ be the same crowd that there is in Camp Randall next year. But we’re trying to get as many people in the stands as possible...

Dave kind of reminds me of myself when I went with Bobby. He made all the calls on Saturday but I was involved on day-to-day game planning.

It’s hard to train that in practice time. You can make calls, you can make adjustments, but just that pressure, ‘This is what it is, this is reality, I need to concentrate on every play,’...

I kind of like where he is.

Whatever it was, we really emphasized that we wanted it to be consistent time and time again and weren’t going to accept anything less.

They had a chip on their shoulders from last week. We told them all week what we expected out of them.

He got up and talked about what they ran and why they ran it. I was just amazed at his presence and his knowledge.

We can run and we can hit people. I like that from (the defensive) standpoint.

One thing I think you have to do here at Wisconsin is maximize your personnel. From the standpoint of getting our best players out there, you’ve really got to make sure you’re not burying anybody...

I would have never found two of our recruits if we didn’t have those (scholarships) available at the end of the week.

Everything is kind of up in the air.
