I came in and was myself. Joe thought that was good enough.

He stepped in the huddle and people believed in him.

Anytime your players go out and make plays, you're a much better, smarter football coach than when they don't make plays. Everyone thinks something magical happened this season. We just had some playmakers that came through for us.

Anyone that?s sacrificed as much as he has, playing different positions, waiting his turn and all the hard work he?s done, I think our players respect him very much. I know he has the confidence of the offensive football team and probably the defense also. When he steps on the football field, he is our true leader.

It worked out the way we thought. It helped us in the fact that we were headed in the right direction offensively.

It's a better game now because it's more wide open.

Austin has a future ahead of him at Penn State.

As an assistant, Joe would be the only guy I would go back to work for.

Anthony is going to have to play as well as Michael did for us to be a good team. I see no reason why he can't. He can throw the heck out of the football.

It was untrue, if that's being overstated. Jay and I have gotten along very well. There's no friction, no problems, and whoever started that is looking for something to write.
