This is a credit to the job that our management team, coaches and staff have done. I am not one to ask people what they think of the job we are doing, but the regents were very nice and generous in their comments today.

It is important that we are all on the same page and the same time frame. I am a lot more comfortable talking to coaches about staying and making commitments when I know that I am going to be working with them. It provides security for the whole department.

We have talked about what he wanted and the future of Wolf Pack football. If we can come to some agreements (today), and I have all the confidence in the world that we will, we will talk about what's going to happen with the remainder of his contract and the years to come.

I need to talk to (Ault) first. It's not fair for him to read in the paper what I am planning to do.

Coach Fisher taught me how to drive. He was also my brother's basketball coach.

We just signed a basketball player (Tyrone Hansen) from Maine, so you know Mark (Fox, the men's basketball coach) had to fly all the way back there just for one player. That's going to cost some money.
