"This is not to demean any of the former coaches, but this is the best staff I feel like I've ever had in my coaching career, from youth all the way up. These guys are good, fundamentally sound"
"Danny's progressing. We're optimistic. We're hoping he's going to return sooner than later. He's probably, most definitely, is going to play against Georgia Tech"
