Why get a consultant when they have me? Fees like that are not feasible at any Chicago public school.

If I need a new offense, I'll research it by viewing a tape or calling a college coach.

When you are able to execute you can win football games. Our kids executed and didn't make a lot of mistakes and we were able to get the win.

When you hear about those deaths, it is a concern. It's the kind of thing the kids bring to me to talk about, and it's something we will address.

We have had some discussion [within the Chicago Public School administration], and I'm always open-minded when it comes to ensuring the safety of kids. Cost is always going to be an issue with things like this, so we would have to address that, too.

I went to the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago.
