The defense didn't tackle worth a dang today. The offense completely won this one.
We'll still have competition in the field goal department.
We have some building to do. If you're not controlling the line of scrimmage, it's going to be tough. You have to at least break even along the line and obviously we're not doing that.
We have not done some stupid things that occasionally happens to teams,
We haven't made a lot of big things happen on special teams, but we haven't had a lot of bad things go against us. So we're probably an average special teams group.
We're trying to make it a positive, ... We're trying to tell them . . . it's a big game for us. This is not just another game. This is a big game because we're in the national spotlight. We appreciate this opportunity, and let's take advantage of it. Let's try to show some high school kids out there what Carolina football is all about.
We're not getting rid of anybody. We are readjusting the defensive coach and we are going to hire a defensive line coach.
We played well at times both offensively and defensively. But in the whole realm of 60 minutes we didn't play good enough to beat Missouri. It seems like they played faster than our guys did. Give them credit, they kicked our tails.
Welcome Coach Spurrier. He was always a little cocky.
I do have some young coaches, but I don't really believe that is the biggest problem we have here.
What I've been telling everyone that loves Carolina football is that we are going to put a team out there that, number one, is in good shape. We're going to be fit, we are going to be able to play the whole game and we're not going to poop out.
I don't want to coach too far into my 60s. By then, I'll be playing golf four or five times a week.
