Look at it. Limited in the accredited ought to do -- an ominous.

That's what political population coach what are your what are your nerves like the day before your first game running the helmet Boston College.

Well -- it figures just a normal apprehension. Make it -- and all the t.s are crossed and I's are dotted and and know. What to Mexico what a photo of what they're sort of figured it but you know.

That a dual one honey do list is that hospitals in the second ago -- I forgot to change the light -- about -- miles there is automatically right.

That's regular dude -- all. The code that would happen I got. You know lot of criticism that are held out to and we were all ready to go.

They're -- was there ever a point throughout the pre season or it throughout this whole process since January when you're hired that you felt overwhelmed the.

Now never -- there's two ways to go with the new judges overwhelmed their energizes and I was the letter.

Coach who had so far in the in the pre season and a training camp. Overall with some of the would go to measures -- bell and whatnot. Houses defense -- will step up in the market for mark marks are -- music you've been looking to visit organized Sports Illustrated cover did you I think that he.

Is that gonna -- I congressman's Arriaga for -- I'll look. When -- McLaughlin Somalia how will. How has reacted overall suits his absence.

Well you know. There's do you play there's there's -- there's a reaction in you know like communal gonna miss these guys but it's it's it's life it's sports it's whatever is send. That's certainly gonna miss some but those who you know we gotta go once we got -- play Saturday at 2 o'clock and and when it gets down to it you know. You gotta do what you are more money go to make the best evidence somebody's gotta pick up the sort of move forward.

Weird most pleasant surprises over the last month in camp.

Well we've had. -- a lot of younger guy age. You know of this class that we had come -- and they look like they're -- real prospects and then somebody younger guys inside -- step up. Have been you know. That have done a good job for us. But the biggest surprise has been. Help well everybody's adapted dozen new staff and the players and and pick you progress and who get better every day we don't get along way to go believe me but to get better predict.

You look at sort of the Judy coach in his redshirt freshman is true freshman. It's all around that suited and another might -- dot ding for some coaches but you feel like you're well armed. Because you have carriage Frankel -- running your offense and you promote -- McGovern to run the defense what does that mean for the team.

Well for the first hole Gary's Gary Hall of Fame coach Jimmy you might be one of the best football coach -- And well it certainly is -- that one of the best in the country. He's been through a lot of things and if there's anybody that can handle the the issues over there on offense it's Gary I mean he's. He's not going to be thrown off kilter by Asia. The problems that we have over there and then -- artwork from Billy for ten years then. There -- systems in place and you know those get a chance. Do we can do.

Yost you want of the deacons and probably. Well we'll let -- yeah I thought yes if and when incentives to walk over thousands -- coached. Due to bid overlook little plays the student you bitter but I know it's dead and knowledge to get through they'll be in the right position don't you want over my Clinton's really pound fullback got.

How do you guys that you see the the NBC ceased stacked up this year so it's. The -- that's going to be pretty. -- competition this year across the board.

Well this this thing about the league is you know we had our run. Conference. Meetings started earlier on in and this year from a lot of teams have better quarterback since situations you know not not -- was standing but. Most of the teams have quarterbacks comin' back active -- for awhile and and usually that's a a good sign probably.

You talk about the quarterback position is that kept -- up at night and how do you think it sorts itself out over the next few weeks and early part of the season.

Well lot of things keep it up -- net that might be via the 1:30 2 o'clock feeding but -- could do. It's gonna sort itself out we have some young men there that there -- redeeming qualities and and we would have hoped that it would have been a little clearer right now but. That's not the case so we'll you know we -- through a play and CEO of sorts itself hopefully these guys who. Separate from one another that we could Google the more. Consistent at that position.

You're gonna start just to -- tomorrow first to restore -- we are. Is that is that we'll come forward so. Tell me what my sources and you've heard this game -- yeah. Yeah. Exactly six hours dude -- community -- well there -- that depth chart sailor -- is that correct charge.

Well who do what we have deserted it's either beat Dave or or just sit there are gonna start to game men. And and Mike is gonna play I mean that's the plan right now but once again. You have to understand it's it to game. And you know we have to went so -- We're gonna do what's best for McCain but there -- keep in mind that. You know went and is what's best for me.

Please just don't let -- just in time it is just for the sheer fact that he can't be wrong about it and you don't start tomorrow anybody but him.

Well matter could go the other heads are gonna. Work will be your wallet back yeah.

And exactly the exact pay uncle Dave should -- you mention -- 25 years old. If he does start tomorrow -- his first snap of what seven years since my normal high school entertainment.

It's autograph -- both -- us had parents and was elected to. Well what you for the first motivated. You know obviously Newton who does some maturity about a -- the around the block a little birdies but the big. And he has you know he has the physical skills he really has the physical talent to. To be a quarterback at this level. And once again what he hasn't done is played you know has taken snaps and you know we have to find that out about a month fortunately you know we. He missed the couple scrimmage is so moved by it to process was does that back who.

Coach you your your take on what happened in Tampa yesterday and then your predecessor and the coach Jack skin like Obama Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Well let me just say this I don't really have a -- of remarked my thoughts -- with -- and his family because anytime you have that kind of anxiety or their current turmoil -- that your personal issues that there needs to be addressed first.

That he fair unfair that that a guy like Raheem Morris. Buses and calls him a guy -- wasn't a deep tail guy or over wasn't precise. You see those things over your your time with them at Boston College.

Well once again these you know the situation. Have Boston College in the situation -- Tampa I'm not that Tampa. All I know is that we've won a lot of games here Boston College in the different that it --
