Bob Elliott Quotations

Many of you are old hands at this ? some are newcomers, and some of you we have yet to work with on a build project. We welcome all of you and covet your assistance in this undertaking. We can serve God and bring these homes and families together.

My first impression is that I think (the previous coaching staff) did a good job of recruiting good people. I don't see any problems with attitude or selfishness with this team. There are going to be flaws with every program, but we'll address them and try to be the best we can be. I'm eager to get started. We're undefeated.

We want a more comprehensive look at public safety.

Every defensive coordinator says we're going to be an aggressive defense, and we will, too. Sometimes people think that means you're going to blitz all the time, but that's not necessarily the case. We want to be aggressive from our base defense while being able to blitz and pressure at the same time.

Schools recruit band directors like they do football coaches. The big dream is to direct a high school band like Pearl City and go to the Rose Bowl.

This is driven by the concept that you can preserve farmland while creating housing, instead of just taking the land and chopping it up.

That's the best you can do. He's a big, powerful back with blazing speed. He was a freak when everyone was recruiting him in high school. I don't know what you'd call him now.

The best way to stop him is for him to turn pro after his second season,

It's very exciting for us, It's fun because all the pressure's off; it's just getting up there and having fun.

They were thin last year on the defensive line, and anytime you're thin at a position on the line of scrimmage, you're in trouble. We wanted to get a lot of players there. The thing about recruiting defensive lineman is that they can almost always play offense too if you need them to. That's why it's always a good strategy to load up on defensive lineman.

I made sure to tell them that they can't do that in games. This was practice. It gave them an opportunity to explore their soul.

I'm the only one who's not interested in either position.

If you try to tackle him low, he's liable to knock you out with his powerful legs. If you try to tackle him high, he's going to drag you.

I guess we still look forward to any other input, but it looks like the budget will be workable at 3.5 mills, ... I don't think we need any more than that right now. We can't go any lower than that unless we generate money somewhere else, and I don't know where that somewhere else would be. The millage is where we need it to be to do what we need to.

He's the best I've ever seen. I've coached against Eddie George and played against Archie Griffin - this guy's better than them. Adrian Peterson is Gale Sayers, except 215 pounds and faster.
