I said earlier that if coach Watkins is here, I would definitely come back.
Coach said in the first half he thought I gave up on my team.
Coach Snyder is the guy I want to play for, and I'm going to continue to play for. My senior year I want to play for Coach Snyder. ... It's not something that I'm thinking about right now because I'm playing for him right now, but at the end of the year, when the season's over ...
The next day, we're doing pre-practice work and he comes in with jeans on. Coach has never worn jeans to practice. From there we kind of knew something was wrong.
I just decided I could handle school, and that it was important to be here for Coach. My relationship with Coach has been a lot stronger than some of the players, and that's the reason I showed up.
We knew Coach Snyder wasn't that type of guy. It would have been easier for him to quit earlier in the season, but we've been through so much we knew he didn't quit.
