Coach Blount Quotations

We wanted to throw it around a little more because we have to open up this offense some. And in order to run the ball like we want you have to throw it. We want to get a balance where we can move the ball either running it or passing it.

Mobley's fine now, and he got some plays in during the scrimmage. So we expect him to be ready for Saturday's game.

Monte has the ability to make plays when they aren't there, and that's what I'm looking forward to seeing.

He will not compete this spring. And that's all I can say about it.

Overall, I feel pretty good with some things. And I was displeased with some things also but we can correct those mistakes by the fall so I feel pretty good about how things went.

Willie Jeffries told me that, and Bill Hayes told me that as well. If you worry what others say about you, then you won't last long in the coaching profession.

We still don't know about him at this point. He was still hobbling around on it. We'll hopefully know more later in the week.

It's not a problem for me, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. We'll do what we have to do.

I'm looking at it as I'm the best fit for the job. And I don't worry about that. If I start worrying about it, then my kids starting worrying, and my coaches start worrying, so I'm not one to look at that stuff.

I guess we'll just have to see what happens.

He's starting to become a big team leader for us because he's one of those guys that sets the tempo for us on defense. He has that mentality that he's the best player on the field, and you need that when you are in the secondary.

He's the kind of kid that if he makes a mistake, he beats himself up. And I've been trying to tell him not to get down and to just come back on the next play.
