But do let me reiterate the spirit of Michigan. It is based upon a deathless loyalty to Michigan and all her ways; an enthusiasm that makes it second nature for Michigan men to spread the gospel of their university to the world's distant outposts; a conviction that nowhere is there a better university, in any way, than this Michigan of ours.

Don't ever ask a player to do something he doesn't have the ability to do. He'll just question your ability as a coach, not his as an athlete.
All I can say is that I'm going to try to coach the way I've coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.
I’m a running coach and I am going to continue to run, but I would hope that we are better defensively.
