It’s great to finally have this in place. It was just a matter of getting all the paperwork done.

It’s good for the defense that they created a lot of turnovers today. That was a positive. We picked right up where we left off last year with the interceptions. We need to keep doing...

I have the compassion, but I don’t have the words of solace that you need to convey that, … I would get involved. It would drain me. I wouldn’t be giving strength. I would be...

Charlie, I’ve got to quit,

It’s just a heartbreaking loss for our football team.

We let our guys have fun and they handle themselves pretty well.

We will be extremely cautious in this situation and not do anything that would cause any further problems. If we err, we will err on the side of caution. We will do what the doctors...

If you take an all-conference performer and put him on the field, it’s going to help your defense a lot, … We’ll see if we can get him up to speed.

I’d probably choose to move it back just because it’s supposed to rain off and on all week, anyway.

You always try to put guys in position to excel and use the abilities they have. I know what he’s good at, and that’s going down the field and catching balls.

It’s doubly important. Not only is it a victory for you, but it’s a loss for someone in your division, … That’s who you’ve got to beat, the people in your division, to get to...

They both are the same in that you better stop the running game or you’re in for a long day.

Jon has done an excellent job. Our defense has been ranked among the top 20 every year. We wanted to make sure he had some stability.

I’d like for him to be more accurate, … I thought he rushed a few things. The game will slow down for him, it will. The next time he walks out there, he’ll see things...

We’ve already got a lot of the film breakdown done,

It’s hard to put a figure on how valuable he is, … He’s played tackle and guard in the same game. That’s amazing.

He ran the ball extremely well. Making things happen, especially with his legs; it was very impressive.

I’m all for guys playing other sports as long as their grades don’t fall and they’re contributing. If they’re not contributing, if they’re just sitting there, then they need to be back over here, getting...

I think that would be a good thing to point out to our team.

What they do is make you play assignment football. Somebody’s got to take the running back. Somebody’s got to take the quarterback. Somebody’s got to take the wide receiver coming around for the hitch. Then,...

We’d been very big, strong and physical, and experienced [in the past], but we were not quite that at this point with this crew. But we did have a lot of athletic talent, so we...

He’s proven that he can play very well at times, and he’s proven he can play very poorly at times. We’re looking for that guy to show up week in and week out on a...

This is a different team. Kyle Wright would stay in the pocket. D.J. Shockley won’t stay in the pocket. It’s a different football team.

After going over to Alcatraz on a boat with them (Monday), I haven’t changed my opinion. They’re big human beings. … They can block out the sun on you if you’re not careful.

I think I’m going to go back to the office and see the trainers,

We had the opportunity to make the play in the final minute, and we just didn’t make the play. I guess that’s life. I don’t like it, but I guess that’s life.

We have what we call a 24-hour rule. If you win a game, you have 24 hours to enjoy it. If you lose, you have 24 hours to get over the disappointment and go on...

I told him not to worry about anything over here. I told him not to try to come back too quickly, to take care of himself.

Things were limited somewhat because of practice this week.

They’ve got a front seven defensively that’s as strong as anybody’s,

You’re running low on numbers anyway. You really are limited in some respects.

We don’t know what they’re going to do. They know what we’re going to do.

If I worried about all that kind of stuff, I couldn’t be in this business, … This is like being in most any other profession: You’re not going to please everybody. My objective is to...

I don’t want a guy who doesn’t want to be here.

We’ve got to get better in some phases of our running game, get better in some phases of our pass defense, … Other than that, I sort of knew where we were. I had a...

We need to score touchdowns and not settle for field goals in the fourth quarter.

You turn it over like that and they score on the turnovers and that’s how blowouts happen.

I think it was the right thing to do, obviously. It was something nobody wanted to happen but everybody probably realized had to happen. You can’t take that chance.

We can. Whether we do it or not, that remains to be seen. But we can. There are a lot of factors that go into taking a good team to the next level. You have...

That thing looks pretty dangerous to me. It jumped from a tropical storm to Category 5 in about 20 hours. That’s a little scary.

It could come down to how our offense plays against their defense. Who knows? You just don’t know. It could easily be something else.

How about that? … Wasn’t Bilbo great? He finally showed what he was all about.

We appreciate the contributions of David Wilson and Tommie Robinson the last four years. They have been a big part of four winning seasons and four bowl games.

Nobody’s going to miss those 15 plays. There’s plenty of things they could do if they wanted to.

Every time somebody doesn’t practice, it gives somebody else an opportunity. Taylor has been practicing very, very well. He’s been a very pleasant surprise this spring. His accuracy has been a good positive.

I tell you what, the medical center is just next door. Let’s go over there,

I’m very pleased, but it’s not like it’s been weighing on me. I can’t say it’s relief. I’m glad it happened.

I don’t think that will be a problem at all, … Some of them may be interested in looking at what’s beyond. But I don’t think as a group they’ll do that. They know we’ve...

Once his symptoms are cleared, he’ll be able to go back incrementally. It’s not like he’ll be able to go back full speed the first day. He can take a few snaps the first day,...

We really feel that our wide receiver position is set, and we feel good about that. Now they aren’t battle tested in games but they’ve taken the first big step to getting there.
