Chan Gailey Pot Quotations

I am really anxious to see what this young man can become. He has a great deal of talent right now but I think his potential is outstanding.

My philosophy about bowl games has always been (that) unless you're playing for a championship or one of the top spots in the country, it should be a reward and it should be fun for the kids. That being said, they're keeping score, so you're going out with the purpose of winning.

Jamal had played some nickel, which is a little bit like safety. He's certainly got a lot of ability, but he's got a long way to go to learn that spot and be comfortable and help our defense there. There's lots of thinking that goes on there.

They executed very well I thought. They did a great job of execution. We didn't do a good job of getting people in the right spots to defend like we needed to do.

I think first there will be an evaluation process of where he is physically and mentally, ... If he is capable, we might spot play him on defense and on special teams. ... I'm worried about his conditioning more than anything else.

He does have some ability. We have to see if we can get that more consistent and find the right spot for him. Is it boundary corner? Is it field corner? Is it a safety? He's a big guy. We have to find the right spot for him.
