Craig Bohl Quotations

We're just a little bit away. Football is a game of maturity and strength and I think we need more time.

We're really excited for Casey. He has really been a loyal assistant, a capable man. There's a time and place for everything and coach Bradley thought it was time for him to move on for some other opportunities.

I have a hard time believing that there are a lot of people out there who are more talented than Casey. He would be a hard guy not to hire.

Our guys across the board are leaner, stronger and bigger. Our 40 times are lower. I'm convinced from top to bottom that we're a more athletic Division I-type of team.

With recognition comes responsibility. But we think it's a good place to be.

We certainly are excited about entrusting our defense to two capable men. This last year we've really shown great strides in our defense so we felt it was really important we stay within the same system.

There's nothing like a home opener. I don't care who we play. Whether you're playing the No. 1 team or a team you know nothing about guys just get excited to go out and play somebody else.

They're a program that has an excellent reputation. They've been a national power for many years. It will be some great competition.

It's a great credit to our program. I think that's a little bit the lay of the land in Division I athletics. Assistant coaches are very mobile and the guys have had great opportunities.

It's not so much because of dire straights. These guys are good players and we had a positional need. We anticipated some of these guys helping us right away.

Every once in awhile a guy will be two minutes late. It's something I can say after 20-plus years of coaching that we have a unique situation here. A big reason for our optimism is the work ethic.

I know Casey talked to the Buccaneers, but from what I understand there has been no formal announcement. Throughout the interview, I'm sure Casey did pretty well.
