Last year, I let Tony and Dick know what my intentions were and this summer I put it into writing so there would be no question about the direction of the program.
I think he deserves it. Dick will be the first one to tell you: Tony is building the program. He's giving Dick the tools as the head coach to be successful.
It became logical and probably the smartest thing I could do to continue with what's started. I told Dick this summer, I said, 'I hope you realize I'm telling people Tony could be even better than you.' And he loved it.
