“We’re much further along. We’ve won a lot of battles and now we need to get some of those wins on the field.”
The speculation on him leaving for a different job in the offseason?
“It’s part of what happens. You wanna protect the other schools involved as well. Just as I said publicly, ‘if there’s speculation of me going anywhere obviously I’ve done a good job with my message.'”

“Every day is tough. I’m looking forward to getting this thing turned around and looking at this time with gratification.”
Is there a specific goal you’ve laid out for your team?
“Our goal as a football team is to go to a bowl game. Which one it is, doesn’t matter. We just need to get to a bowl game”
