Mike Tice Work Quotations

Atrocious, ... We were out of rhythm, so we have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball. A lot of work to do.

That would be a perfect scenario, where he works with that offensive staff through the whole week and works with Steve to formulate how the game will be called. Maybe Steve calls the game in, with the help of Jerry. But anything that can lighten the load of what I've taken on will be certainly fun.

Cold and sticky, like I always dreamed it would be. I'm just happy for the guys. I knew we were going to have to work hard, based on how new I am and all the new faces we have. I knew it was going to take some time. But I just didn't think it would take five games.

The players right now, like the coaches, are searching for an identity, ... With new players on defense, they are trying to find a balance of what we want to do and what the players do best. I think that is still, unfortunately, a work in progress and will be for a number of weeks.

Offensively it was atrocious. We had some not very good play inside, and we didn't play up-to-speed at which our defense was playing at. We looked too big and too sluggish. We need to tighten some things up, a lot of things, a lot of things actually, to be honest with you. We were out of rhythm so we have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball, a lot of work to do.

I think we've passed the point of having him anointed at any position. I think anything he earns now, he's got to work his way up the ladder.

I think this year that I proved that I worked hard for four years to earn my stripes, and hopefully there will be other organizations around the league that will see it that way. I love to teach. I love to teach.
