Chan Gailey Ready Quotations

I'm all for guys playing other sports as long as their grades don't fall and they're contributing. If they're not contributing, if they're just sitting there, then they need to be back over here, getting ready to play.

It hurts me, it hurts them. It was my responsibility to get this team ready for this game, and I didn't do that. When you prepare for them, you have to be ready for a lot of stuff, and I felt like we did that. It was just a matter of us not executing. We didn't play well today and didn't deserve to win this game.

I think they will mentally and emotionally be ready to line up and play. I'll be interested to see how they'll play. I'm excited to see how they'll play.

We'll get ready to play Saturday at noon. That's the way we've got to prepare.

What they do is make you play assignment football. Somebody's got to take the running back. Somebody's got to take the quarterback. Somebody's got to take the wide receiver coming around for the hitch. Then, you have to be ready for the play-action pass. They make you monitor threats, and that cuts down your pursuit, if you're not careful.

I've said, 'Hey, it doesn't matter who walks on the field. You have to get ready to play,' ... It does not matter who's in the game and who's not in the game.

They didn't do anything fancy or unusual that we haven't worked on, but when you play them, you have to get ready for a ton of stuff. When you haven't spent a ton of time on something, sometimes they get you, and they got us good.
