Richard Giannini Quotations

Down the road, we're going to be fine. We've made some progress, and that's the key. It's not going to be too long before we're the ones that are going to be playing for championships. I believe that.

When a coach or anybody is ejected and won't leave the premises, what do you do? How long was he going to stay on the field?

By Nov. 11, it should be full speed ahead.

The one thing that has been a primary priority has been facilities. That's the vision that we've got to continue. We've made tremendous upgrades since the year 2000.

The atmosphere has really changed and I really attribute that to our students and fans. I'm most appreciative of them buying into our program and being a part of it. Are we where we need to be? No. We need to get to the point that when we play a game here, this town shuts down.

Jeff and I recently had several very productive discussions about our football program and its future. Our goals for the program are the same, continue to operate with a high regard for integrity and academic accomplishment, as well as reaffirming our spot as champions of Conference USA and contend for a BCS bowl. We will work together to ensure those goals are accomplished.

It's a combination of (finding the right contractor for the price and continued fundraising). We're trying to make sure what the architects have designed, and what we want, will come in with the allotted money that we have to make it work. We could always raise some more money to make sure we have a cushion, and we need to do that, but we're moving the process right along and we're on a fast track.

I can remember back in the 70s all you had to do, basically, was go to class and not be failing. Long as you were not on probation by your university, you were eligible.

I've had tremendous support since I've been here.
