He had a good week of work and knows the offense from the receiver perspective and from the quarterback perspective. We have a lot of confidence in his ability to run the football team. I don't think there's any doubt about that.

There's always a high risk involved when you change jobs in this business. It's better to have tried than never tried at all, especially if what Gus is doing is in his heart. Whether it's Friday night in front of 5,000 people or Saturday night in front of 70,000, all your decisions are there for people to see and second guess. But that's the exciting part is to take on new challenges.
