Tristan came back yesterday and looked sharp. He understands and still remembers some for the defense. We’ll keep working with him and go from there.

He’s continued to get better and better and better. Different guys are going to play out there. Whoever’s No. 1, whatever that means, there’ll be more than one guy out there.

Jonathan controls the front seven, gets everyone lined up and takes care of the blitz package. He’s been a great leader. He’s an outstanding young man. He accepts coaching. He’s done everything I’ve asked.

We started so slow and they started so fast. We can’t put our offense in that kind of hole.

We try to stop the running game. From that point, we defend everything else. If you can’t control the run, they can do whatever they want. Horn had the great running back and does a...

It’s not fair to Brandon Cox and our offense to get in a hole 10-0, … It’s not acceptable and can’t happen any more. I thought we were passive, especially early. It allowed the quarterback...

He throws the ball better than Ball does and runs just as well. Maybe we will have learned from our experiences.

The kids responded after last week. We really focused this week on coming out early and starting fast. I feel like the kids did that. Once we got on a roll, it was tough for...

I don’t think it’s productive for the parties to snipe back and forth.

It would be different if I was stepping into a place where they’d been terrible on defense and had a whole bunch of turnover within the staff. But the three coaches back are good football...

I’ve been fortunate enough to have some people call me and ask questions and see if I’m interested. Right now, I haven’t made any decisions. By no means do I want to hurt Auburn. Right...

They have big, huge offensive linemen that are tough and physical.

We’re now up against a very tight clock because Terri is in the process of being starved to death, … It is looking more and more like Washington, D.C., or [the state capital of] Tallahassee...

I thought our whole defense was average at best at every position. There were some guys I thought played really well, but I’m not going to name any names.

This was the perfect opportunity to get closer to her home.

You have to commit extra people to stop the run and they know that. They are going to take their shots, … You have to be lucky. You have to get pressure when you can....

They’ve got as good a running attack as anybody in college football. They know how to run the football. They have ever since Coach Alvarez has been at Wisconsin.

By what moral authority does America let this girl die?

Our secondary grew up a little in the second half. There were some positive things going on.

They are candidly pleading for the very life of their daughter.

Make no mistake about it, this is without a doubt the most talented, physical offensive football team we’ve seen this year. It’s not even close. I don’t care what their record is or how bad...

put to death in such a barbaric fashion.

We’re the defending SEC champs and we have nothing to hold our heads about, … We realize that we are probably overmatched, but we’ll go down there and fight and see what happens.

I’ve always been on the field. The guys I grew up under always did it. The guys who taught me what I know were on-the-field guys. That’s my background. I don’t know the other way....

The kids have done a great job picking up the scheme, … We had to teach them responsibility on defense. Sometimes you want to play for yourself as opposed to other people. The first thing...

Don’t count him out. He’s in the mix too,

We’ve decided what defenses we are going to run on what downs and distances and against what personnel groups,

He’s as good a nose guard as I’ve seen in college football. For him not to be mentioned up there with the best football players in the country is crazy to me. He dominated everybody...

Our corners were way too soft early on. I don’t know why, … I don’t know if they were just intimidated by (Johnson) or intimidated by the speed. You know, we started two guys who...

We have three great coaches on defense that could all be coordinators.

Why Michael won’t let them do that is not understandable. It would be so easy for him to get on with his life … so these parents could take care of their daughter.

It’s a great stadium, great crowd, … That’s what Auburn football is about. But it’s unacceptable to lose at home and that’s what we did. It can’t happen anymore.

I object to any characterization of our government, in good faith, coming to this court … seeking to intervene when there’s serious allegations of abuse.

It was fun right up until kickoff. Right up until (Georgia Tech’s) 16-play drive for a touchdown, it was real fun, … Then it wasn’t fun anymore.

Terri is declining rapidly. We believe she has, at this point, passed where physically she would be able to recover, … Face the Nation.

I know one thing these guys are well-coached and they’re going to come after us. Anybody who falls for that I-AA thing is in for a rude awakening.

Every week is a new task. This week we’ve got another great running back (in Lee’s Jason Williams). Not only is he a shifty runner, but he’s a powerful guy who runs physical. We’ve got...

It’s a mindset of theirs where they believe they are physically tougher than you are, mentally tougher than you are, and they try to take it to you. That’s a challenge for us.

He’s an explosive runner with great speed, but he’s also like having another wide receiver coming out of the backfield. He’s going to have the ball in his hands 30-40 times in this football game...

It appears that that will be the last meaningful legal appeal unless something comes up, … Fundamentally, the decision of the Florida courts will remain unchanged and the federal courts have declined to get involved.

Our corners were way too soft early. I don’t know if they were intimidated by their speed or intimidated by 21 (Johnson).

There’s an assumption by many partners that no matter what happens to their business, they’ll be partners forever.
