Q

. How much more comfortable does Tony Sparano feel right now than you did a year ago at this time?

A. A lot more comfortable. More comfortable in the fact that I know my team. I have a year's body of work underneath us right now. Everything we are doing isn't the first time we are doing it so there's credibility there. Our players' are working hard this offseason and not asking many questions about it. Our coaches are able to go a little bit faster now because they know how our players learn. All the day-to-day things are easier. From my end, I feel a lot more comfortable. But I'm one of those guys who never likes to feel too comfortable.

Plus to add to the Henne/White debate this:

Q. The Pat White selection has gotten a lot of national attention. We're talking about a player who has rushed for more yards than any quarterback in NCAA history. Can you take us through the thought process of this selection?

A. First of all, one of the things we did in the process of evaluating Pat was first just concern ourselves with evaluating him as a quarterback. To me, a Wildcat quarterback contender had to be able to play another position. He had to be a slam dunk at another position for us. In this case, we see Pat White as a guy who is going to be a really good quarterback. Of course, his athleticism and what he did running the ball was important in the process. But this was really about how he threw the football and what we saw on tape. His completion percentage being over 62 percent, that was important in the decision.

My bold!


This is the only thing I’ve learned: There’s only us. There’s no them. Despots and authoritarians need to make a “them” to have a straw man whom you are against. If you need to make an enemy of “them,” you’ve lost the spirit of us. - Ken Burns of PBS

Nothing but excitement for what this guy and his coaching staff can do with a year under their belt and some solid new players in a few key positions. WHY NOT US? :up:
