Dan Hawkins Guys Quotations

When we get into fall, we'll have a group of guys that contribute. And those guys will all be lumped in there.

(Riddle) has a tremendous amount of passion for it, ... A lot of guys out there don't want the stigma of being a special teams coach. They see themselves as an offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator.

He gets it to the right guy. He finds the guys that are open, gives them the opportunity to catch and run with it. It's going to be difficult to stop these guys.

Guys are coming along, they're right with us mentally and buying into all that stuff, and that's great. But we're not anywhere in the same area code when it comes to execution. That will come.

I thought Quinton was a little tentative in there and I think that is the nature of him being new back there. I don't care if guys make mistakes, I just want them to play and not be afraid to fail.

I think we're trying to spread the love around a bit and get guys involved and use guys where their talents are the best. That's the benefit of having a good team, a good well-rounded team.

We're trying not to get caught up in the highs or lows, and trying to focus on the things we can control. Nobody likes losing, especially these guys or coaches, but we understand we've got to play better and cleaner.

The reason I showed it was there's a lot of guys going 'Like no way.' There's a way. I'm trying to get them to train their minds right. You can do it.

Brent Guy has got those guys running around. They're very difficult to defend.

Q is just so doggone speedy. He's one of the fastest guys on our team and to be able to get the ball in his hands with some space is a pretty good thing for our team.

You can still have multiracial, multi-religion, multi-geographic guys who have a similar type philosophy about what they want out of school, what they want out of football and what kind of people they are.

All of those other guys were working really hard to get it set up. We always look at special teams as a chance to get something big done. It's just not a pause between offense and defense. All of that work and attention to detail comes into play, and you have to have a guy who is talented and fast, which (Jones) is.
