We had other options. But, I'll say, we were very, very happy when he made the call to say he was still interested in us.

I'm looking forward to doing really big things.

We're playing in the last game. It's the thing that every coach wants when the season begins. And it's a very good feeling.

Those losses were good because we hadn't been hardened yet as a team. To lose like that, heartbreaking losses, that stuff hardens you. And it helps you because now you're able to hear what (Donovan) has to say. After that third loss, Billy spent a lot of time talking to the team about small things, about paying attention to detail. We hadn't been doing those things, and it finally caught up to us.

You've got to pay a livable wage, ... We've got some excellent staff that are turning things around.

It will be very exciting for you guys, the fans, to watch. It will be a very exciting style of play for the players to play.
