Would it ruin his career or change the way colleges hire? I don't think so. A guy coaches because he loves coaching so I think he would just do it somewhere else where he could continue to make a positive impact on young men's lives.

He had a good week of work and knows the offense from the receiver perspective and from the quarterback perspective. We have a lot of confidence in his ability to run the football team. I don't think there's any doubt about that.

We don't sit back and read the offense. The vast majority of the time we're attacking. It's tougher on the option attack when you're attacking them. The quarterback has to make some decisions.

The thing you notice about Arlington is that they score a lot of points. They are a much improved team from last year, so for us to see the increased speed (at the Tulsa Union scrimmage) Friday night, that's going to help us tremendously in preparing for the game.

Keith does a great job of teaching. They are very good teachers of technique and how to run a defense. You watch their football team and they give great effort and they get where they're supposed to be and we're trying to steal some ideas from them.

Our depth is extremely thin. We're very prayerful that we stay well and not lose anybody else tonight, because we're in the situation right now at several positions that if we lose any one person it could affect two or three other positions.

They're may not be one or two things that we want to do and there may be many. It's finding a little piece to put here and a little piece to put there to compliment the whole. And maybe that little piece will be the winning edge one night.

There's always a high risk involved when you change jobs in this business. It's better to have tried than never tried at all, especially if what Gus is doing is in his heart. Whether it's Friday night in front of 5,000 people or Saturday night in front of 70,000, all your decisions are there for people to see and second guess. But that's the exciting part is to take on new challenges.

Will it open some doors? Potentially. But I still think those are doors that will remain the way they are. I don't see his hiring changing the way colleges coaches hire.
