Rod Barnes Win Quotations

I coached today like I always coach. I was coaching to win and that is what I am going to do. I will reflect on what has happened after this is all over. I don't have time for that right now. We cannot allow what has happened or what will happen distract from what we are doing.

He's been given more opportunities and he's taking advantage of that. So it will be exciting for him to go back, but I don't think it means as much as his freshman and sophomore year. I think it's big to him, but it's not like he's not going to sleep before the game or be all intense about it. He wants to win because I think Bam just wants to win.

We won three in a row, we lost three in a row and we can very easily win three in a row again. What we can't do is take steps back. Even though we didn't win, we made a step forward today.

We were in a tournament with all of our guys. All of a sudden, we come back and ... we're determined. We win 27 games (in 2000-01).

You're always concerned and I'm concerned about our kids. But you know, let's win. And not win to change anybody's perception of what my job situation is. I've just always been a guy that, when I set goals, stays focused on accomplishing it. I still see that winning season out there. All the other things, whether I'm going to be back, all that, you just learn that all that counts is Saturday.

I'm concerned about these kids. My focus is trying to get a win for Ole Miss and these kids.

It's time to get back up and get started back to work. We will look to pull out another win and this is our first opportunity to get that win.
