Knowing Kelly would be the head coach, we thought she'd be able to find someone.

It was a surprise, certainly.

I don't think any of us would have envisioned at the time that he would be where he is today, but there was no doubt that we could see him as a coach or teacher.

She certainly gave her reasons, but it's tough.

He was fiercely loyal to Bill, just as he was to Joe Moore after he came in the following year, ... We only had seven or eight seniors on the team our senior year, but we played good defense and played that tough brand of football that Joe liked. When I listen to Kirk speak, I still hear a lot of the words and phrases that Joe used to tell us.

Even back then, he kept his cool no matter what was going on. He loved to compete. I see that in him today. He may get after an official once in awhile, but they usually have it coming.

We're scrambling to get coaches in place.

Orange had one of the better programs in the state. One thing I remember was how he had an offensive and defensive system that basically was the same every year. The kids knew what to do. It was like playing a machine.

Now, here we are in the middle of the summer. Not only are we looking for assistants, but we're looking for a head coach.
