Both teams were playing hard. As a defensive coordinator, it was a good high school football game.

I would like to say that we caused that fumble, but it looked like it just slipped out of (the runner's) hands.

He was tired and we thought it was too far. We're just going to have to go for it.

I felt that we could stop them (in overtime). I really wanted to put it in the hands of our defense.

He steps into that situation understanding offense, understanding defense, understanding players. Another thing is ... he understands the unique coaching requirements of single-A.
