He works hard, he's a great recruiter and coach, and he's a fantastic person on and off the field. I'm very happy he's a Badger.
He gave me those notes to reflect on the move, just like Coach Holtz had given him the notes. It's great to hear different philosophies on coaching.
Mark has been a pleasant surprise for us. He has really responded well; the keys, the reads, he's got great ability, just his overall presence. It's good because he can now make plays both ways.
I would like to assemble a group of coaches that carry two common traits: great passion and great integrity. Kerry has great passion for the game, for recruiting, for his players and for people overall.
Andy is a competitor. He came in and played right away as a true freshman at linebacker and has a great competitive spirit ... I'm excited because I think he's found a rebirth a new way and a new opportunity to get on the field.
It's just great to be part of it. I think it's a great testament to the leadership (Alvarez) provides. From Day 1, it's been about this game.
I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. He sees an edge, he'll take it in a short fashion. He's got great power.
Chancellor Wiley and Coach Alvarez have extended me a fantastic opportunity to build on our record of success and great tradition. I'm enthusiastic about the future of Badger football and this chance to advance the program.
