John Benedetto Quotations

No one can argue with the fact that Joe and his offense are 6-0 right now. Sure, we want to be better offensively and we want to complete more passes, but the fact that we're 6-0 says a lot about him and the entire football team.

More than one -- five or six of them --said, 'Coach, we can get it.' And they were the older kids, ... They were the seniors that wanted to do it, so I said, 'Yes, let's do it.'

He's developing into one of the best defensive cover guys we've ever had.

Heck, ... they want to go for it, we'll go for it.

He comes from great genes and a wonderful family.

I think why this is happening is coaches are now wanting quarterbacks they can play at that position for three years. Even though they might suffer for a year or year and a half, in the long run it's going to be beneficial to them.

Pasco County football has gotten a lot better and you better be prepared to play well week to week or you're going to get knocked off.

I think if you compare quarterbacks -- who are the leaders of their offensive unit -- to how the team is doing and not so much how many passes they throw or how many passes they complete, I think the team success tells you a lot about the quality of the quarterback,

We don't play him much defensively because he's such a threat on offense. Plus, he returns kicks for us. We use him where he's best, and that's at the receiver position.

We fumbled and bumbled and stumbled our way around for three quarters and we finally started making plays,

I told him that I hope he wins every game except for the game against us and that that would make me very happy.

I like it because it makes you unpredictable, and I like us to be unpredictable.

I really think that he's more worried about not throwing interceptions, which is causing him to not throw the ball accurately,

He struggled in the last couple of games. I'm just wondering if that's the reason why he's afraid to take any kind of chance whatsoever and as a result, in the last couple of games, a lot of the passes have been high over the receivers.

He's an outstanding football player, and people are going to come from miles around to see him next year.

Grab him by the throat, ... and just start strangling him until he gives in and does what he's supposed to do.
