Quotes by Charley Casserly
You've got to pick a No. 1 pick which certainly is important, but you've got a whole other draft to run and we've got to get players out of those other positions in the draft.
Gary was tremendous to work with. His preparation for the draft was the most thorough of any coach I've worked with. Gary had a good feel for personnel on offense and defense. He communicated clearly what he wanted at each position. The scouts had a clear picture of what he wanted, and don't underestimate how important that is going into a draft.
Being able to take the best players available is the way to have your best draft. Based on what we've been able to do so far, that's the way we're headed right now.
If you're a team, how do you take a running back that doesn't run a 40-yard dash? At some point you gotta find out how fast somebody is, so I hope this young man realizes before the draft he needs to run or I hope he has made a deal with a team that's gonna take him in the first round.

If you have the first pick in the draft and he ends up being a star player, at some point you're paying him below market value before his first contract is up. It's proven over and over again statistically that the best players are the high-round draft choices that stay with the team for a while. Obviously, you need a core of star players.
I'm under contract, and I'm happy to be coming back. Like everyone else, I'm disappointed at what happened this season, but I'm already excited about next season.
I hope this young man realizes before the draft that he needs to run. Or I hope he's made a deal with a team that's going to take him in the first round.
It's not because we haven't called people. Monday morning I called teams behind us and I won't tell you who I called or where I stopped, but you can obviously figure I called teams immediately behind us...and there was no interest.
