Wagner Quotations

I echo those comments. No question, Wagner has made us a much better team than we were last year. There's no guarantee, we still have to play, but we have to be pleased with what we have. We made two major deals and did as much as I think we could have done. It's awesome. I'm excited. They put together a game plan, a road map to success, and we followed the map very well. Now I just hope the directions are up-to-date.

It always makes me sad when I think of how I saw Wagner wasting his vitality, not only by singing their parts to some of his artists, but acting out the smallest details, and of how few they were who were responsive to his wishes.

Mike adds a lot to our staff and our team. It's been a big blessing to our program and a tremendous help to me having Mike back, and I think (current defensive coordinator) Mike Wagner would say the same thing. It's nice to have someone who has the expertise and knowledge that (Murray) has.

Mr. Wagner has beautiful moments but bad quarters of an hour.

Wagner is a composer who has beautiful moments but awful quarter hours.

A soccer game is a Wagner opera. The narrative sets up, the tension builds, the music ebbs and flows, the strings, the horns, more tension, and suddenly a moment of pure bliss, trumpet-tongued Gabriel sings, and gods descend from Olympus to dance - this peak of ecstasy.

We located coach Wagner and sent him an invitation. We will be flying him in from Salem, Oregon.

Wagner manages to convey emotion with music better than anyone, before or since.

He was always very nice. What I remember more than meeting Connie Mack was meeting Honus Wagner when he was a coach for the Pirates.

Wagner used to read the libretti of his operas to his friends; I am glad I was not there.
