Posted this from ChatGPT on the earlier press conference thread. Tracking so far!
"Yeah, listen, obviously Saturday was not up to the standard of Texas A&M football. And ultimately that falls on me. I'm the head football coach. I own it. Nobody in this building is happy with where we are right now. But the reality is, we can't sit around feeling sorry for ourselves. We've got to get back to work, attack the issues, and find ways to get better. There's no magic formula to fixing this. It's a process."
On his comments about TexAgs:
"Yeah, listen, I think what I said got taken a little bit out of context. I have tremendous respect for the 12th Man. I think anybody who knows me knows how much appreciation I have for this fan base. But there's a difference between people who genuinely care about this program and the outside noise that doesn't understand what's actually happening inside this building. And I'm not going to apologize for protecting our players from that. Could I have expressed it differently? Sure. But my focus is on the guys in that locker room."
On Marcel Reed:
"Yeah, Marcel's our quarterback. We believe in Marcel. Nobody works harder than that kid. Is he playing to the level we need him to? No. But we've got to do a better job putting him in positions to be successful. And that's not just on Marcel. That's on me, that's on our offensive staff, that's on everybody."
On whether changes are coming:
"Yeah, we're evaluating everything. Every position, every coach, every scheme. That's what you do when things aren't going the way you want. But I think people on the outside sometimes think you just flip a switch and everything gets fixed overnight. That's not how you build a program. We've got to trust our process, stay committed to what we believe in, and continue to develop the guys we have."
On what fans should expect against The Citadel:
"Yeah, listen, The Citadel is a very well-coached football team. They play extremely hard. If we don't show up ready to play, they'll expose us. We're not in a position to overlook anybody right now."
Closing statement:
"Nobody's expectations for this program are higher than mine. Nobody. But we're going to build this thing the right way, and I'm not going to let outside noise dictate how we go about doing that."
