Andy Curtin Coaches Quotations

I said to myself, 'What's wrong? What could fix this?' ... You would need someone with ability and time, and the only ones are retired coaches -- the more stature the better.

Our coaches are just looking at who's a good team, ... Purdue's going to have a good year, but they don't have to play Michigan and Ohio State. How is that fair?

We had five coaches say they don't want their votes published -- these were deal-breakers for them, ... They said, 'I'd feel more comfortable voting honestly than having to go home and defend myself.'

The people who now vote in the polls coaches and writers do not have enough time to watch a lot of football. We wanted to take advantage of all this experience and expertise we have in these great former coaches. Who better to judge teams than the people who have coached the game?

Hopefully, we'll have a 15- to 20-minute segment on an existing TV show, and we also hope to get a radio show where people can call in and ask the coaches questions.

The coaches have been doing their homework. We've provided them with portable DVD players, and we're providing statistics of games. They're watching a lot of games and going to games on their own.
