Chan Gailey Guy Quotations

I would say that anytime you have a guy with as much experience and as much talent as Reggie has, who's played in big ballgames and won big ballgames on the road ? not to take anything away from Taylor ? but you would miss a guy with that experience,

I don't want a guy who doesn't want to be here.

He comes on the field and competes very well. With that kind of talent and a guy that will compete and is willing to work, he can move up pretty quickly.

I think this is the right way. In my opinion, coaches don't get to see replays in the booth, so we don't know whether to waste a challenge or not. That guy in the booth has to make a decision. He's just like a referee. I like the way it works.

That was a quick decision for us. From the tackles he made we knew whether he would go in there and hit or not wasn't an issue. It's can he hold up, because he's not the biggest guy out here.

It's unusual for a guy not to play except for his senior year, ... No one really knew about him. I think we maybe found out sometime in October or November that year. It came right down to the end. We had to evaluate him based on six or seven games his senior year.

He's proven that he can play very well at times, and he's proven he can play very poorly at times. We're looking for that guy to show up week in and week out on a more consistent basis.

You can't worry about that kind of stuff. The bottom line is does a guy fit your program. How does he fit the profile for some recruiting group out there is irrelevant. It's whether they fit your program, and can they help you win.
