He cares about the kids and they respond and play hard for him. It's a close-knit community (at Smith) with a family atmosphere. They need that kind of father figure.

We've got to play consistent football to compete,

Our objective was to take our No. 1 recommendation who would be best for our kids and our community. With the history of Carlisle football, we want someone who is going to be dynamic and a community person. I think Carlisle has been looking for someone they can rally around, someone who will be charismatic with the community.

I was very impressed with the kids from Community. They came ready to play from the opening whistle and didn't back up a bit. They have come a long way for a second-year team. We were very fortunate to get a win tonight.

Coach McIntyre always does a good job. His kids play hard.

We want to emphasize community. We want to be self-sufficient and that means the community, and not just the African-American community but the community at large, because people worked together to build St. Petersburg.
