I told him to watch out, ... Everyone is concerned about their kids at this time of year.

I told him to watch out for (the mother) because I felt suspicious, ... You need to watch out. Be careful.

I told them, 'You know what? I'm wrong. I've thought all year we were good enough to go to state. I guess I'm wrong. Load 'em up,' ... I truly felt I'd let the guys down. I felt that somehow I hadn't done the right things to let them reach their full potential.

I told the team last night this isn't about winning or losing. At the end of the year, our message has to be that we persevered. If we go 11-0 ... if we go 0-11 ... they're not going to know our record. They're going to know we persevered. For the millions of people affected in our environment — the ones who survived — it's going to give them some hope. Because right now there is no hope.

That's life. I told the guys if it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger. The kids have dealt with a lot of loss on and off the field and I think they're stronger for it. ... This is one of the best I've coached.
