I coach my coaches, and I feel very good about my staff. I think it's really easy to sit there and change coaches. To show people that, 'Hey, he's making a change and he's doing this and that.' But I won't do that. I'll do it if it's the right thing to do. I'll do it in a heartbeat if it's the right thing to do.
More Quotes from Gary Pinkel:
Brad Smith had been waiting for this game since last January, and there was no guy in our camp who wanted to get back on the field and get respect for the team than Brad. ... Brad looked very calm and poised out there.Gary Pinkel
His first couple of years he was really hesitant to say a whole lot because I think Brad is really hesitant to push his beliefs and opinions on anybody, ... He just tries to live his life and do the right things. Certainly, you'd like to have a little more vocal leadership, and I think he's doing that this year. He feels more comfortable.

The one thing we're trying to do is back him off a little more to not being too over-aggressive. You have to back them up and make sure that you keep everything in front of you to begin with. Then slowly, with the experience that you get, you allow them to choose their moments. With him (Moore), we're trying to be a little more cautious just so he's taking care of the middle of the field in terms of leveraging the football and deep footballs.

It was not just that we were down, it was all the other stuff that just kept getting thrown in our face. In my background I'm used to getting wins like this. Maybe not that far from behind, but I'm used to being a part of that. And it's nice that they'll get a huge confidence level from that.

That's Brad Smith. He's never thinking of himself. He's always thinking of everyone else. That should have been one of the happiest moments of his career, and instead he's trying to tell me about this incident.

We were doing pretty good until this year and I'm very proud of what we've done to this year. This year we're not pleased with it and we expect to make it better.
