John Shaw Felt Quotations

Mike's response was that he didn't really have to prove himself, ... So he wouldn't agree on an extension based on a performance level. And I respect his view that he felt he didn't have to prove himself. But there's also a view that coaches have to prove themselves every year.

I think he felt he was just a couple of weeks away, so I was very surprised,

I think we felt that all three candidates brought something unique to the table.

Bob told me he felt it would be better to address it after the season, ... By the time Mike talked about it, we were almost beginning training camp.

I met with Mike last Tuesday for about four hours at his house. I felt at that time that he thought he was coming back after the bye. I think he felt that he was just a couple weeks away. So I was kind of expecting him to come back after the bye.

It's been a tough time, just brutal. We've all felt battered in some way.
