The Crypt Keeper speaks.
"You know, we went through a tough year, and Tom stood by me 100 percent. I didn't have to prove to him that I didn't know anything. He knew right away that I didn't know anything. He knows what I believe in as far as rules are concerned. The other coaches all rallied around me. They came over and said, "what do you need?" And that to me, along with Tom and the chairman of the board, made me never even think of 1 percent of packing it in. Because of the coaches, the chairman of the board, Larry Benz, and of course our leader Tom Jurich, I never even thought about it, never even crossed my mind, but to just dig in and do the right thing."
