Jim Tomsula is going to be great coach for us. Players' coach. Always around the guys. Someone that's willing to listen to what the players say and has their intake.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.
The best thing you can say about any coach is his players play hard for him.
I like to be able to control which players I'm working with. Because it doesn't matter how good a coach you are if the guys you're working with think they already know it all. You need a response, you need to feel they're trying. I want players who are always striving to improve.
You can have great players, but if they don't want to be coached, what are you going to do?
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 feel that a great coach is one that has a vision, sets a plan in place, has the right people in place to execute that plan and then accepts the responsibility if that plan is not carried out.
I've been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I've played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.
I have tremendous respect for coach Gary Kubiak. I love that guy.
Any coach, any team in the NFL, if they had Peyton Manning healthy and ready to play, I think we all know who is going to play in the game.
I believe we have the best football coach in the country in Urban Meyer. I had the privilege of hiring him, as you know, and I think he is doing fabulous work.
