He's gotten a bad rap. It just doesn't seem right because he's only done good.

I'm always going to counsel and advise student-athletes in their best interest. Right now, Richard is in a position where he is expected to go on the first day of the draft, and he believes he's ready to start making a living in the NFL. I can't argue with that.

Can, too. All right, people would be surprised to know I sing, rap ? and like English class. I like to write.

I appreciate the administration giving me a time line to meet with NFL teams, and now the time has come for me to say that I'm no longer a candidate for any NFL head coaching position. It was a great process and learning experience.

It was a great process and learning experience. I think it speaks volumes about the quality of our program at Fresno State. With the schemes we run and type of young men who come through our program, it's a great testament to our overall program that several NFL teams had a genuine interest.

We are very proud of the academic progress we've made. I feel our program is as competitive both academically and athletically as any in the nation. We have gone to seven straight bowl games and our APR score ranks in the top 10 in the nation. That's a great accomplishment by our team and our staff.
