Chan Gailey Good Quotations

I feel very good about that position right now.

What we've proven is that we can play from behind and play good in the second half,

He was finding the creases in the defense and (Brett) Ratliff was doing a good job of getting him the ball. If you're a competitor, it makes you mad. It makes you realize how much work you've got to do to get where you want to be.

He's a young player who had not played center; we moved him to center when he got here. He's got excellent toughness and good strength. He is lost right now, learning how to play the position. Centers have to make all the calls and are in charge of a lot, so he's got to learn that and it's going to take some time. He's made very good progress, but he's got a long way to go.

I think that would be a good thing to point out to our team.

I think our team is excited about the destination. You want this to be a reward. You want them to have a good time and enjoy where they are. We've got a game to play ? we realize the importance of that and we want to play well.

I think he's adjusting very well. I know he's had two solid practices, and I think today was the third solid practice. I think that's been a good move for our football team, and it will be a good move for him. It was probably good that we practiced him there some during the bowl practices. That's helped him make the adjustment.

I think it's a good time to put some new ideas and new thoughts into the offense.

I thought the concentration was good today, ... It was a little sluggish early when it was hot, and that's something we've got to work through.

You always try to put guys in position to excel and use the abilities they have. I know what he's good at, and that's going down the field and catching balls.

We can. Whether we do it or not, that remains to be seen. But we can. There are a lot of factors that go into taking a good team to the next level. You have to hit all of those and have a couple of other things go right to be able to do what Auburn did last year, go from whatever they were ... to going undefeated. A lot of things have to go right.

We really feel that our wide receiver position is set, and we feel good about that. Now they aren't battle tested in games but they've taken the first big step to getting there.

Time will tell that Auburn is a pretty good football team,

When we have everybody healthy and hitting on all cylinders, we're a pretty good football team. We feel like we can compete week in and week out with anybody in the country.

We felt like we had a good play where we could fake the run up the middle and draw people up and give Calvin a chance to win it one-on-one,

Two areas where we felt like we needed to make some headway with quality were receiver and linebacker, and we felt like we did very well in both those areas. And you can never have enough good defensive backs.

Every time somebody doesn't practice, it gives somebody else an opportunity. Taylor has been practicing very, very well. He's been a very pleasant surprise this spring. His accuracy has been a good positive.

It sounds like to me I've got a good chance to sit there and say nothing, ... If I'm going to be there, I'd like to be a part of the process or don't have me there. Make a decision. Gee whiz.

He's rusty, but he's done some good things out there.

They executed very well I thought. They did a great job of execution. We didn't do a good job of getting people in the right spots to defend like we needed to do.

It's good for the defense that they created a lot of turnovers today. That was a positive. We picked right up where we left off last year with the interceptions. We need to keep doing that.
