Statement on his future at Baylor...

"Several weeks ago, I think it was after Oklahoma State, I told Mack (Rhoades) that I was not a candidate for this job. He’s been great to me, and more than once the old coach if I’ve had a change of heart. He’s been very gracious to me.

"I wish, honestly, I could turn the clock back and have Mack Rhoades as my athletic director. We’ve become very close. I think Mack Rhoades has great character, great common sense, great patience, great kindness, and is a very strong leader. There’s a toughness about Mack that appeals to me that I really, really like.

"But honestly, football needs a fresh start.  All the other sports here are in great shape right now, and I would expect the next coach to have football competing for championships in a hurry.

"Whoever gets this job is going to be very fortunate."
