I knew, as a head coach, when they decided to let him walk away, that wasn't boding real well for my future. Jake has always been one of my favorites. He was a guy I was completely sold on as a quarterback, as a leader of that team.

When he was still my coach, I knew he would be on the staff at Arkansas somehow. But I decided to open it up anyway. He's capable of handling that job on his own.

He knew that we would have got £100,000 more for him from Sheffield Wednesday so decided to let Kilmarnock get something from his move to Rangers.

I knew it was going in when I let it go. It was a great moment.

I knew all along that when it went to a vote, I wouldn't be able to address the issue anymore. That's one of the disadvantages I have as a county employee. I'm legally bound, and I intend to adhere to that. There are plenty of other issues to talk about.

We knew going into it, it would be a really close meet. [Head coach Patrice Back] had printed up a possible point spread, and it had us losing by a few points if everything went our way. Friday night we had a team meeting and ripped up the point spread. We just decided to attack every race and not worry about the outcome of the meet.
