70 Quotes by Bill Snyder

I think he's learning what this conference is all about. What I like is his mental toughness. He did a pretty nice job today.

I think for everything there is probably a right time, and its normally pretty difficult to define what that right time is, ... To me, this is the right time and the reasons are pretty simple.

I think I would assess his play somewhere in that category (mediocre), with the thought behind it meaning that he's a very capable young guy, ... Even though he did well, he believes there is a lot more in the tank, and I believe exactly the same thing.

I thought his presence on the field allowed you to gain some confidence and understand that he wasn't going to get shaken. He wasn't going to get rattled.

We have to let things settle down a little bit. It's not what it appears to be. And I'm not in position to tell you, to elaborate on that. But I don't think it's quite the issue that it was made out to be initially.

Thomas is a better back than what you saw today. I'm not saying he was bad, he wasn't bad at all. I saw Thomas do some things during our two a day period that were awfully good, that I did not see him do before, and I expected him to do that today, but we didn't get to see it. When he feels comfortable with it and can do that, that just adds to his game.

Thomas had no intent, nor did he harm anyone. He was wrong in departing from where he was, and he accepts that responsibility. He knows that there are consequences, and he is in the process of responding to those consequences.

First and foremost, coaches, and then players, have to really recognize what are the issues. We're in that process right now. We got a decent start on it (Monday), and we hope to continue through the week.
