I think one thing that Barrett has is he's a football player. He not only has the physical tools, but he has the instincts, too.

Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.

It was a horrible, terrible, atrocious offensive football game.

I think it's very important to emphasize that my immediate focus is to coach the 2005 football team and coach them to its fullest potential, ... The thing that I share with the players ... that I would guarantee them that they will have a great effort and great preparation and tremendous focus from myself and our entire staff. They deserve that because they've worked so hard in preparation for this season, and we will not let them down.

Well, we were beaten by a very good football team today. They are very solid on both sides of the ball.

The team overall has played well defensively. This isn't football where your defense and offense are out there at different times. It takes a whole team effort, and we have been very pleased with their effort.
