I never had one compliment. They were asking why we were giving that ice time away.

We kept bending a little bit, but we never broke. And that was the key, giving a little bit but not giving it all.

There area lot of people interested in sending items down. Some people are worried about giving to the Salvation Army or the Red Cross because they can't see where it's going. We're documenting this so we can show them where it's going.

By giving the public a rich and full melody, distinctly arranged and well played, all the time creating new tone colors and patterns, I feel we have a better chance of being successful. I want a kick to my band, but I don't want the rhythm to hog the spotlight.

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.

I looked like giving up wouldn't have been all bad at one time, but nobody on this team did. We had a tough break at the start of the race.
