Every one of them great football players. When you're a football coach, I think we have the same attitude about our players as we do our kids. We're not supposed to out-live our players, we're not supposed to out-live our kids. That's just not the way life should go to make for a happy time. When you lose somebody like this, it's really like losing family.
