Quote Of The Day
“He’s going to give the energy. He’s going to be excited, and he’s going to be motivated. Those things carry over because it was the same way with me when I took over this program. I had to change the coaching staff real quick, but that energy that I had of excitement carried over not only to me, but to the staff and to the players. Doing all of those things is what motivates you. So, I’m pretty sure he gets up every morning early. I bet you he gets up early and excited about going to work. Looking around and realizing this is yours.”
