The nice thing about Auburn is you can replace good players with good players. We were lucky enough to do that.

For Real Madrid it is not good that he has gone although here there are good players who can replace him. I’m sure he will score a lot of goals with Newcastle and with England in the World Cup,

Academics are the No. 1 thing. It's the first thing we tell players when they come to Auburn. They are here to get a degree first and foremost. Once they understand that, they understand that football is second.

Auburn is still working hard on a couple of players that might flip at the last minute. There might be a surprise on signing day. There usually are.

That Auburn game was embarrassing. We had a lot of fussing going on with defensive players. We were arguing about assignments and not playing together. We looked bad on national television.

I've been tailgating here for about 15 years, and I like tailgating here better than at Auburn,
