Al Bagnoli Quotations

We were trying to replace some very talented kids. He was trying to replace the player of the year, which is never easy. Maybe our expectations were not what they should have been. I think he had a productive year, even though it was somewhat inconsistent to Mike Mitchell and Gavin Hoffman.

He'll do more in terms of the development end, the fundraising end, the facilities end of it. He'll get more people involved.

Bryan Walker has the most snaps and the best recall of some of the things we did.

He is really a talented kid. We're still pretty young on the defensive side of the ball, and he provides some maturity, and he provides some leadership that we need with we're dealing with such a young group of kids.

While it is a shame, a smaller facility will suffice for now. It's not like the stands are filled during games anyway.

We're still erratic. It's somewhat to be expected -- we have a lot of coaching changes. We've tweaked some things, so we're still somewhat on a learning curve.

You never know. I don't want to take anything away from Harvard. On that day they were obviously the better team. The extent that we were hurt by Pat not being there, it's hard to gauge. Obviously, you like to have your starting quarterback healthy for that game.

We're cautiously optimistic. We think we're going to have a lot of skill on this team, but we have some unproven guys that we hope will perform.

Any time you get a different color jersey, it's beneficial and it also give you an idea of where you are.

We've got a chance to be a decent defense. We're not there yet.
