"I appreciate the administration agreeing that the head coach should have four years remaining on his contract to show the recruits and fans that he plans to be here," "Our football program is headed in the right direction. We've had some success and have had some good things happen here, but winning the SEC is one goal we have not yet reached. We hope and believe we can do that in the next four years."
