To sit there and look in the faces of these kids, all of them ... it would have been hard to walk away from these guys, and selfishly I realize I don't think I would have. I would have regretted not doing this.

This place can be brutal for a woman. Maggie was the big sister they all needed.

This is a tremendous honor and thrill for me to be named the head coach at West Point. Maggie Dixon and I, and the staff, started something very special back in October. I embrace the opportunity to continue what we started and look forward to continued success in the years to come with this group of players.

I always came back to the one basic premise that I really wanted to coach this team, I really wanted to be with this group. I wanted to follow what we did and continue this job, continue this journey with these kids.

I have mixed emotions today. It's been a tough couple of weeks.

I have mixed emotions today. Everybody here lost a great friend, a woman with tremendous character and a great role model, a young lady with a tremendous future.
