Not having Coach Dungy on the sideline was definitely different. Coach Caldwell did a great job, though. But it was kind of surreal, everything that's gone on the last few days.

He's passionate about it, but he's not so passionate that he has to be on the sideline at the end of every ballgame like (Dallas Cowboys owner) Jerry Jones or some of the others. He's going to try to hire the best people that he can get to run his football team because that's not his expertise and he'll admit that. And he'll give them all the things they need to work with.

I told him on the sideline that there are days where you're not going to be sharp. Those are the days you almost have to will yourself. Even though your not playing the way you're accustomed to playing, you've got to find a way to eke out points.

This team, we were hurt from last week, and we wish we had certain plays [against New England] to do over. But we also knew it was still all ahead of us. We knew we could still win the division, and we still had a lot to play for. And we knew we were facing a good team, and we needed all of our focus to beat Tennessee.

It's certainly not in the job description, ... The good thing is I've been a head coach for 15 years. A first-year head coach could have been a wreck.

This definitely gets the monkey off our backs.
