I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to lead this program.

Obviously it was very disappointing and frustrating. We understand the opportunity that we had to get (in the playoffs). There's nothing we can do now but go out and try to go 10-6.

We had a great opportunity and we missed it.

I think people realize that we had a good opportunity and we failed to seize that opportunity. So now lets just go out and get a win and enjoy ourselves and have fun.

The most important thing is this is a tremendous opportunity that would benefit the quality of life for the citizens of this state and one that I don't think we can afford to miss.

They see this as their opportunity.
