Mike Schneider Quotations

We're not diminishing his role at quarterback at all; we're just trying to enhance his role within the offense because he's one of our best athletes.

I got a concussion just trying to make too much of a play,

I thought it would be a lot more frustrating coming in, probably because at the end of last year, I really started to understand the offense more, ... When coach O'Brien came in, and I talked to him for the first time, I knew that it was to be OK. He's the best teacher I have ever been around.

That's what I'm more disappointed in than anything. Forcing the ball in there on the 4-yard line, you can't do that. You've got to get some kind of points out of that. Even if you kick a field goal ? we only lost by three.

We ended up getting out more because of the mild winter.

Now I want to take a step forward in this next game by making smarter decisions.

People thought Joe Paterno was dumb two years ago and now he's smart again. Winning changes a lot of things. These same kids played as freshman and sophomores and now that experience is paying off. Have we turned it around? I don't buy that because high school sports at a place like ours will always run in cycles. But Ed is doing a very, very good job.

There was a little hole there, but why try to force it?

There's nothing formal about anything here. If you want to skip class, you can do that; I encourage it sometimes, on a nice day.

I'll do whatever they need me to do. If it means running with the football, then I have no problem running with the football. If it means passing, then I'll pass it.

You've got to go down when you get hit the first time there and not try to go crazy with it.

It's not that hard it's really not that hard, just try to make them light weight and easy.

That's $5,000 more than last year. It just shows the commitment to Sacred Heart School by the parishioners and community.
