Joe Nash Quotations

When he came we were, I don't want to say in disarray, but he brought a little more stability to the program, ... He was the kind of coach who didn't take any guff. He brought a new feeling when he came in and brought with him a group of veterans who'd won before. He shook things up. By bringing in those guys he raised the bar for all of us.

It felt like after '83 and '84 that you'd be back there next year, big deal. This is going to be one of those things where you're in the playoffs every year. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen.

We were still a very young franchise. If we had just won one playoff game (the fans) would have been happy. To go as far as we did, they were ecstatic.

It's not like we're happy that they haven't had that kind of success, or that we're glad they haven't always done well. But it does give you a sense of pride to see what we did there with Chuck.

It's funny when you start off, and things are going well, you think they are going to continue every year.

But you know what? All that just makes what has happened this season all the better.
