Larry Coker Good Quotations

We need as much of this as we can get, just to learn how to play the game, ... It's obvious that we have a lot of players that don't know how to play the game right now. This was a combination of some really good defense and some really bad offense.

I can't put too much emphasis on the positive of a football game. But it is a good diversion.

From last night, I know I've got a little bit of edge and I think our players will have a little bit of an edge, and I think that can be a good thing. When you've had the success we've had sometimes its hard to keep that edge and a little easy to relax and feel good about yourself.

Certainly a good win for us. ... But I told our team be very complimentary toward Colorado. They really made us earn everything we got. Nothing easy.

He understands where to go with the football and has made a lot of progress for us. It has been a really good spring for Kyle.

He's going to be as good as advertised. He's still young. He's still learning, but he's really going to be a good player, a difference-maker type player. I'm not concerned about him.

Our special teams really let us down, and we didn't protect our quarterback nearly as well as we need to. Offensively, we did some good things.

I think he's back. I believe it was the Duke game ... when it was the first game he really didn't think about his knee and that's a good sign. And I think he's going to continue to get better as the year progresses.

I think he's going to be as good as any tight end that we've had.

I think it's a good possibility we'll see both.

I think we're going to be good at that position. But to say anybody's really stepped up and made us say, 'This guy is a great player,' I really haven't seen that, no.

I think we're better than we're playing. What that potential is, I don't know. I think our receivers are good enough. We're not playing as well as we can and I think we've got to give them more opportunities to get them in the flow and get them playing better.

The protection was excellent and I saw some good things,

The protection was excellent and I saw some good things. Things are starting to come around the way we want to see them.

The protection is better, but I think the ball is also being released quicker, because he knows more where to go with the ball, ... We have to get the ball in the hands of the good players, and I see that type of progress from Kyle.

We're not going to be intimidated going into Clemson, South Carolina. We're going to take a good football team there and we're going to play well there.

We do have depth back there but we'll miss Anthony Reddick, he's a good football player. Phillips played 19 snaps against Florida State and had one mental error so he's ready.

We have good players. Now who will be a great player or All-American? Some of those guys will be around here and have a chance to do those things if our team is good. If our team is not good, those things probably will disappear.

We'll be awful good on defense. We'll have a good offensive team. How good? It depends on how some guys come through for us in some key areas. Our biggest concern is our depth on offense.

We know we have to play well every Saturday. I feel like that we've got a team that's potentially good enough to win every Saturday, but we've got to play well to do that.

Bobby is a good person, he's an outstanding football coach and I'm sure he's done everything he could possibly do to help the program be successful. Buy they haven't won, and as we all know if you don't win. . .

I've been pleasantly surprised with him. He's done a great job. I thought he could be a good player, but the way he handles his body ... he's a big guy and he's out there switching his hips, being able to maneuver, covering smaller receivers. I've been very impressed.

We're disappointed. Guys wanted to play. Obviously we're in a pretty good rhythm now and want to have an opportunity to get better. We'll just make the best of it.

We had a great day today. We feel really good about our signing class. We're still very excited about last year's class and we put together another outstanding class this year. And that's what you have to do - you have to do it every year.

Devin's going to be a great player for us and I just haven't been around a corner more talented than Devin Hester. And we expect him to be a really great corner. But again, he's been there one year. And let's understand, Marcus Maxey is very talented. He's an awfully good player or he wouldn't be there.

Special teams really hurt us. We've been very good on special teams the last few years. Obviously, we weren't very good against Florida State.

There's going to be some good battles, good competition.

There's obviously a lot of distraction. I can't say there's not. A lot of the guys are without power, certainly the coaches are without power, a lot of those things. But they've dealt with it pretty well, practiced pretty good the last couple of days. Guys have been here and gone to work.

This year we don't have as many high-profile guys, ... but there's some really good players here that, because they're coming out of this program, NFL people will take a very hard look at and maybe draft, where at another program maybe they wouldn't get drafted.

I'm really surprised at how far along he is. But his determination to get back, to help this team be good and get to where he wants to be really speaks volumes about Eric.

That's exactly the way I saw it. He didn't play much. Football is such a team game. How the quarterback does depends on if players help out and make good receptions. And the offensive line has to help him out.

It was a good finish for us. This has been an outstanding spring. We'll have a good finish tomorrow in the annual spring game, and hopefully everybody will stay healthy. Everybody has a good attitude and they're ready for Saturday.

It was a good day for us. Obviously the defense is ahead of the offense at this time, which we expected that. There is some good teaching out here and we have a lot to work on to be a good football team.

You can't stay the same. You stay the same and people catch up. They understand your schemes and they game plan for those things and it makes it very difficult. We have good players, but we also have to give those players advantages with proper match-ups.

Andrew's a talent. Now, can he play the game? ... It's time for him. He's been here. We'll see if he's ready to take the next step and be a really good player.

We got a glimpse of what can happen, where we can be. And with a very good Colorado team coming to town with a week off, certainly we'll have a tremendous challenge there. But I think being at home, this is a time we've got to build on. We've got to take advantage of it. Seize the day.

If he makes a mistake, he can forget it the next play. He's going to be a good player.

The last five years have been a good five years. But my concern is the next five years and to make sure we are going in the right direction. You cannot stay the same. We have to go in the right direction with the right staff.

The last five years have been a good five years, record-wise and statistically and all those type things. But my concern is the next five years, the direction we're going and making sure that we're going in the right direction.
