I would say now it's next to impossible for us to make the playoffs. Even if we won the rest of our games, everything would have to fall absolutely perfect with Buffalo and Rochester for us to have a prayer.

That's one thing I'm not used to coming from New York. I got news for the rest of the league. That team (the Patriots) is not changing. If the league thinks that team is changing because it lost two coordinators, it isn't. They minimize mistakes. That's something we've got to do.

Our meeting was well attended by faculty, staff and parents of the children in our community that entertained prior to the meeting, but everyone stayed during the meeting. We were glad to see everyone and we would love to see such large attendance in the future.

I don't think Jim was really happy with the Denver situation. I don't think people understood that he didn't jump ship there. It just didn't work out. But I think that ate at Jim's craw.

I thought he'd get the Philadelphia job. I think not getting that job surprised Jim. It surprised me. He was down. Then you could see he really wanted to manage again.

He really missed the competition. I knew he was kind of itching to get back in.
