Mark Snyder Quotations

We're so much further ahead of the one practice that I had last year with the first one this year, it isn't even close. The comfort level is so much higher this year.

We felt it was in our best interest to go with the guy who had the most recall to where Larry Kueck, our offensive coordinator, could get him on the side and say, 'Hey, Jimmy, you know, we're getting this, this and this,' and Jimmy would have some recall from past years. Bernie will definitely play, though.

We're still learning how to practice, like everyone except the NFL,

Major League Baseball and Holiday Inn are going to hit a home run. I just had to say that.

Leadership. That's No. 1. Leadership. A good quarterback has got to have a presence of command, that without saying a word he convinces everyone in the huddle and everyone on the field that he's the man in charge.

Somebody is going to have to play that hasn't been out there.

My experience with these offenses is that it takes you about a quarter to get used to it. It's kind of like facing the option. Our defense is definitely going to be challenged this week.

Obviously, the position is wide open. Right now they're tied. But it's still early. What'll separate them is how they do on the field in practice.

Obviously, I'd go ahead and kick the ball,

I have four good-looking young men up here that we are counting on big things from. As well as the rest of our senior class, those guys have done a great job so far.

I am especially honored that I get to coach on the other side of a guy I really respect. He is one of the coaches that as a young coach you look up to. He has done a fantastic job and they are a very well-coached team. We will have our hands full on Saturday.

(Ian) really got into that ball, didn't he. I thought he (Ian) did a very good job today. Sometimes, competition can bring that out in you.

If I had to say anybody had a little bit of a lead right now it would be Bernard Morris. He would have a slight lead over the other two. But Derek had a good week of practice last week.

I felt like we had a good game plan set up. It just didn't work to our advantage in the third quarter. We kind of had a meltdown and that was a very pivotal series for us.

Four of our hardworking 8-and-under swimmers attend the 8-Under Festival held in Arvada,

He got what he could get, ... When he did that, he made a couple of really big plays for us.

We are flirting with a few things in there to expound on our offense. Just trying to add to the package. Simplify, yet still be a little bit complex with it.

He's adapted to that new position well, which is really going to help him come fall. We'll be very deep at linebacker this year. I feel very good about the position.

He's a senior and he needs to have a career best year. That starts with spring practice.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find another program with more depth than we have at that position right now. We haven't had that kind of depth the last three years.

I thought we'd be a little crisper in practice today with the cooler weather,

I was very impressed with Paul during my time at Ohio State and I know that he is going to be an asset to our coaching staff. He is a very intelligent young man who relates extremely well with players and is well respected. He is also from the Atlanta area which has been and will continue to be an important recruiting area for our program.

We were more crisp on our routes and catches than any practice yet. That is two Saturdays in a row these guys have been out late and we haven't had any problems. I'm proud of the effort and focus they've had.

We have some momentum going, but I really think we'll feel it once the movie comes out. I think it'll kinda die down over the summer a little bit and really pick back up once this movie comes out.

We had to put three months (of preparation) into one, ... We were going night and day, burning the candle on both ends of the stick.

We have three that will go into the fall and compete.

The qualification times for this meet are very fast, taking into account the 8-and-under age group is one of the largest in the country,

We are playing a very good football team. One of our goals last week was to stop the run and we didn't do it, in my opinion. If we don't do it this week we will see nothing else.

We practice that situation, but it's so hard to (simulate) the pandemonium on the sideline and the crowd. But we have some positives to take away from all of this.

Tomorrow is the last evaluation. We will not evaluate from the spring game. We might get a little evaluation out of it, but tomorrow is our last big evaluation day.

This spring is going to be important for the guys that didn't play.

We don't know exactly what they're going to do. If they stay with what they've been doing, Bernie will be fine. If they don't, then we felt that Jimmy would be our guy to start with so that we'd have some recall. Once the game starts, we'll see what they do and kind of adjust from there.

We worked hard on trying to address out mistakes. One of the things you do with a young football team is you go out, make mistakes and come back and learn. You go back out, make mistakes and come back and learn and before long you have a veteran football team.

The decline was probably linked to a shift in construction patterns. Last winter was a much harder one, and the construction season started later than usual.

We are excited to join these two iconic brands -- America's favorite hotel and America's favorite pastime. Linking Holiday Inn and Major League Baseball is a natural and logical move. Research shows that large numbers of baseball fans are also loyal Holiday Inn guests, and vice-versa. We look forward to the possibilities of what we can accomplish together with Major League Baseball for our mutual fans.

The defense really stepped up in the second half, ... We really needed it to carry us over. We stopped them when we needed it most.

You can tell he hasn't played football in a year. He dropped a few balls, but he's blocking his tail off and leading a little bit. His timing is just off a little bit though.

We wanted to center the ball up and call a timeout. We just needed to have poise and patience.

We just felt like it was in our best interest to go with a guy who had the most recall, ... Bernie will play, though.

We just want the guys to be around them. We're going to let them coach. For that team to go 15-0 is a heck of feat and there had to be something special about that group. We're glad that they'll share some of that with this team.

We try to take a day to work on ourselves and some on UCF and we had a good practice. Right now, I'm just concentrating on Marshall, whether they win, lose or draw tonight (in the UCF-USF game). Our focus was pretty good, special teams got it going and we went from there.

We saw some things last year out of him and I think the game is starting to slow down for him. He's starting to show up a little bit. I've been pretty impressed with his last couple of practices.

We didn't miss a beat with Jimmy coming in the game. When you have two quarterbacks to play, you must be a pretty good football team.

There's no question Anthony belongs at this level, ... but there's some liabilities he needs to work on to be able to play in this conference, and to play against an SEC or Big 12 team in a bowl game. He could get away with it there, but I know for a fact if those things don't improve, he won't be able to get away with them in this conference.

It was an exciting game. First one in overtime as a head coach for me. I've been a part of a few overtime games here in the last six or seven years as places I came from and it was as exciting as it usually is when you go into overtime.

Teal Kitson and Kayla McCarthy were the highest point scorers in the meet,

Coach Snyder is a very competitive human being,

Cody Slate is going to play this year.

That's just the people of Huntington. What a great, great deal.

The Western Zone Championships is an age-group elite type of event,

They take some shots and Higgins is having a good year. What (UTEP) coach (Mike) Price has done is put his playmakers in position to make plays. He'll return punts and kicks and he's definitely their go-to receiver that can make it happen for them.

A lot of our players have been down there to play. I'm sure the guys will be excited to go down where they've had success.

They have a ton of team speed and it really jumps out at you on tape. (Coach Bill Snyder) obviously targets speed when he recruits and he has done it again.

This is a very serious matter and this definitely jeopardizes his opportunity to attend Marshall University.

Absolutely he needs to have a good spring. He's a big guy and it's an important spring for him.

It's a shame we lost and a tough pill to swallow. I thought we played well enough to win.

It's a chance to see how they execute with no coaches behind them, telling them every little thing to do.

It looked like he got more comfortable as the game went on, ... He was a little erratic at first. I think the more reps he gets, the better he will be.

It will develop depth and it will make him a better player. It's always good if a young man can learn two positions. What you like to do when you have a seasoned football team is have players who can learn two positions and we're getting where we can do that.

It was just a poise-and-patience situation for us. The lines of communication weren't good. Everybody was in a bit of a panic.

They just like them looking as mean and nasty as possible.

Their speed concerns me. They will walk off the bus and be better than us. On top of that, they're well-coached.

I'm just happy. I came out this weekend and I was really focused, ready to go, and I told myself I could win. I went out there and I wrestled awesome. In the final I was a little worried, I have a lot of respect for Pelletier and the way (Dickey) beat Pelletier, had me a little worried. I just came out focused. I did everything I wanted to do, I controlled (Dickey) the whole match and I feel really good.

I'm so proud of the guys because we learned a lesson today. We didn't turn the ball over and we got a win. That's a start. That's heading down the path that we were talking about.

I'll be surprised if Ian Hoskins doesn't have a good spring.

But you savor this, no question. It's an honor to be on the other sideline.

If I ever do it again, I will call a timeout and kick it on third down.

If had it to do over again, that's what I'd do.

I came out and wrestled tough. I found something loose and was able to get the takedown. Senior year - this is my last year. You have to put everything into it.

Come fall, if someone gets hurt at (weak side linebacker) is it better to put in a freshman, or move another guy over with experience and move someone up from (the middle), where we have depth? It's two-fold. We're creating depth and Matt becomes a better player.

All charges against Kirby Watson have been dismissed. Considering this development I see no reason for him not to continue with his previous plans.

Ahmad needs to take snaps behind the line so he can get used to them and they can get used to him. And we're looking for Chubb to continue to get better and chase Ahmad.

The Durango Swim Club sent its first three swimmers to participate from Aug. 9-13,
