Bob Toledo Quotations

It's not easy adjusting from running back to wide receiver. There are a lot of different skills you have to develop. The good news is that I think Smith has gotten the hang of it and can do tremendous things for us. He's got great speed, and I plan to take advantage of it.

I thought there was a lot of enthusiasm and energy. I'm just going to throw a lot of stuff at them, and hopefully after 15 days a lot of it will stick. After the spring practices, we'll re-evaluate them and try to base our offense in the fall on what they do best.

I was the head coach and he was the assistant. That's not a concern. We're both here for the same reason, we want to win football games. I've sat in that chair. I know who's the boss.

I really like the two receivers right now, Brown and (Marcus) Smith. I'm very excited about them. There's some other great talent out there, and it's just a matter of time now to see how it develops.

I had opportunities to be a head coach and to be an assistant, actually some pro opportunities. But I wanted to be somewhere where I really enjoyed being around the people.

Most of all, I love their energy level. They've got a long way to go, but they're excited and that's a great start.

I learned the names of the coaches and all the support staff. They're obviously real important to my success. There are a lot of new faces I have to get to know.

I spent four hours in an orientation learning about health and dental benefits. And I've spent a lot of time learning how the office works. . . . I still need to get my voice mail set.

I'm going so fast, my feet haven't even really hit the ground.

I'm excited to be in Albuquerque, and I'm really excited to have the opportunity to be at New Mexico and coach the Lobos. The good thing is, I'm with a good friend, Rocky.
