Dave McGinnis Quotations

I don't know where the perception came from that he was a 4.5 guy. Nobody was ever saying he was. He's a 4.8 guy, but he plays extremely fast from the line to the quarterback. We've got him evaluated as a football player, not just as a workout guy.

He'll run through tackles, run through people. He's big, he's strong, he's physical.

I would say it's probably the strongest storm to hit this island in 50 years.

I think I'm getting exactly what my players are giving me, which is everything. People outside don't know my people like I do. I know what I've got in these guys. In most cases I've had a hand in either bringing them here or keeping them here. I'm trying to put together the right chemistry, the right mix in that locker room, so we can stand together and make something happen.

I'm sick for him and sick for this team.

We need a guy like Jeff, someone who's a bit angry, who feels like he has something to prove. Everywhere he's been, he's proved he can play, and then they've decided they want someone else. Here, he's the guy. The team has taken to him, and he's been great, particularly for the young receivers.

You have to do something in this league to attain stature. And then, with that, comes respect. Respect from a lot of different avenues. This is nothing but positive for us.

We had him on a pitch count. But he did a great job for us.

I fully support your efforts to stamp out sexual assault in the United States military and believer that there is nothing in (Military Justice Improvement Act) that is inconsistent with the responsibility or authority of command. Your efforts in this regard have much broader implications that will actually strengthen the 'good order and discipline' of our military, which I believe accounts for much of the resistance that S967 is receiving...Protecting the victims of these abuses and restoring American values to our military culture is long overdue.

When the first rotation came back, the Army fell more than 10,000, from about 309,000 to 297,000 (junior enlisted) in the course of three months, October to December.

The seed corn isn't going into the Army.

There's a very fine line between confidence and complacency. If you win the first game against a team, the worst thing you can do is fool yourself into thinking the second game will be easier. You don't want guys having that mind-set.

I told my guys that perception and pedigree means nothing. Production means everything, and we're in the production business.

I knew, as a head coach, when they decided to let him walk away, that wasn't boding real well for my future. Jake has always been one of my favorites. He was a guy I was completely sold on as a quarterback, as a leader of that team.

I know I wouldn't have thrown a rookie out there. But I'm not the one dealing with that bull in that rodeo.
