Scott Linehan Quotes

We put a lot of work into it. I credit our coaching staff for working hours you wouldn't believe. They really did their homework. We used Charley's scouting background, and I don't think Jay has had a day off since I got the job. I feel sorry for him. He's got this young rookie head coach that he's always got to be telling what we're doing next. He's done a really good job of putting us into position to do this. - Scott Linehan

We have to really start putting a lot of time into our evaluation of college players. We've put a lot of time into the pro side because of free agency and how fast it works. Now we have to say, 'Is this player better than a young player we can get in a draft?' A lot of those discussions will get started now. - Scott Linehan

We do have one or two conflicts. - Scott Linehan

Very serious. Whether you like it or not, or if it makes sense on paper, it's hard to get your hands on players that can be great in this business.

I'm not just saying that as a smoke screen, they are what they are and you can't deny that. - Scott Linehan

Up to the day he shuts it down, he's way too valuable a player to not have the ball in his hands. For whatever reason, last year was not his best year statistically. But I would certainly like to utilize the abilities he still has, if he's willing to put a few more years in. - Scott Linehan

To me, this is the most important hire. You can say anything you want about who's hired to be the head coach at this point. But I think, to me, the biggest priority for this franchise right now is to get a defensive coordinator who's going to come in here and really impact this franchise. We're working tirelessly to get that done. - Scott Linehan

Tight ends are very effective in the red zone. I've always liked using that position to be effective, not only in the red zone, but third downs (and) things like that. - Scott Linehan

Those are some of the things that are going to have to be addressed here and hopefully those would be some of the lessons I've been able to learn and maybe draw upon for this franchise. - Scott Linehan

This is an exciting sign for us. This particular player became available, fortunately for us, just prior to the weekend (in) a big need area for us. He's going to fit a big part of what we're trying to get done here, and add some veteran leadership, as well as his obvious playing ability on the defensive front. - Scott Linehan

This is all a good story. I hope he's a good running back. - Scott Linehan
