I know we're going to have a big challenge to do better than what we did last year, but I feel we have the team to do that. We want to win with numbing repetition.

I'm having a great time. Other than the crowd size, the television and the interest from the media, there's no difference than playing or coaching at Iowa or Michigan.

They've got a tremendous atmosphere at Iowa City. That was a heck of a game. It was a credit to college football.

I definitely weighed some options. I felt like this is the best thing. I'm very happy here. This is a school that does things right, and wins. We've had so much success here due to our players, our coaches and our administration. I just want to continue that.
