2010 Coaches Quick Hits

Tuesday September 15, 2009

Quoting Monte Kiffin: What stands out to you in watching Florida's offense? "I've watched them a lot. Watched a lot of their games last year, watched them this summer some and then of course the first two games this year. They really haven't changed. They're unbelievable. They're one of the fastest teams I've ever seen, and I've been in the NFL. They're like an NFL team with their speed. That's why they're going to have a lot of draft picks."

Rich Rod talks to Butch Jones weekly: "Butch and I talk every week," Rodriguez said. "Normally after every ball game. His family and my family are close. He's a tremendous coach. He's done a great job up there. They've got one of the best quarterbacks in the country and some big-time receivers. And I know that was a big win for him and his program."

Quoting Les Miles: I can also tell you that this weekend was a big weekend because Charlie McClendon's teams' returned for the reunion. Shaquille O'Neal was honored on the field. The national championship baseball team was also honored on the field and the basketball team from a year ago as well. We enjoyed that. That was great fun for us to enjoy that stadium being a festive, collective environment that is at times more than just a game. We also enjoyed Matthew McConaughey down there on the field. The only problem is he had the wrong colored shirt on. He was wearing that burnt orange, and I can tell you that I asked my wife. I said, ‘OK, listen. This is the way it is. I know I'm a little older than I used to be.' She said, ‘I'd pick you again with no prejudice.' My daughter was sickened that she didn't get the chance to meet him, so I guess there's a difference in perspective there.
