But then, after having one or two conversations with Mike about it, he changed agents,

It was one of the easiest conversations I had with him.

I've never gotten over that one. We were much better than Stanford. But we changed our offense to an option type thing. We were running the Wishbone! We could have put our hands on three national championships.

I hated talking, and I hated listening to everyone else stumble on their words and try to phrase things in the vaguest possible way so they wouldn’t sound dumb.

Mike Ditka changed my life, just like Lou Holtz change my life, just like Bill Reed changed my life. He brought a commitment that I have heretofore never seen.

We are waiting for the outcome of the conversations.
