But as coaches, we need to get a little more fire and passion and be more demanding that our guys get the job done. I think players will respond to that, and we’ll see.

So you get two good hours on the field about every day, you get about an hour and a half in the meeting room and that’s pretty much all you need to thoroughly coach your team.

Number two, we’re going to play with a lot of effort. Our guys are going to be in such good shape that fatigue is not going to be a problem. We’re going to play with full effort from snap to whistle on every play the entire game.

All I can say is that I’m going to try to coach the way I’ve coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.

But at some point, we’ve got to have disciplined play and have got to coach better. I’m not putting it on the players. We’ve got to coach them to tackle and block better. It’s as simple as that. If we can do those things, we’ll have a chance.

You keep playing, you get a lead and build on it. People get mad when you keep playing, but that’s part of the game, too.

We’ve got a support system that gives our players a wonderful opportunity to graduate. If they go to class and give good effort, they can graduate from this school, and I believe that’s important when you go out recruiting.

In Knoxville, they’re still doing cartwheels because they went 7-6 and won a bowl game.

In my experience I’ve learned women are better streakers.

I think I’ve got an outstanding defensive assistant staff that’s really going to help us have consistent, strong defenses. And offensively, we have an excellent staff. We’ve got some younger guys on offense, but that’s what I coach and have my entire coaching career.
