Barry Alvarez Coaches Quotations

I think young players, in particular, see that, recognize, 'This is what the coaches want,' because we recognize that. This is what the game's all about, this is how you go about the game. This is how you're supposed to play.

We were scoring so fast a lot of the times, there wasn't a lot of time on the sidelines for the coaches to get enough conversation to know what the problem was, before they were back on the field.

As I visit with some of the other coaches in leagues that have playoffs, I don't think that there's any excitement about the playoff. Sure, it's a big payoff for one game, but I think it diminishes some of the season. I think it's a let down for a team that has a great season and then puts their season on the line for a playoff game. And it all seems done for no other reason than a paycheck.

All of our sports are fully funded. We're trying to give all of our coaches the opportunity to compete at a high level. These coaches have shown that you can.
