I was going through ordsprog

I was going through a situation where the Texans wanted to keep me and three or four other NFL teams were interested in me. I was faced with a tough decision on whether to come back to Virginia or stay in the NFL. The familiarity with [Virginia's] program and my family ties tipped the scale when the coordinator's position was offered to me.

Coach Zaleski taught me a lot my first year in Louisville, ... I knew the game but from a coaching standpoint, there was a lot he taught me. Zaleski took the head coaching job in Albany. He wanted me to come with him. At the time, Louisville was in a transition. They were for sale and this was at the time when Will Wolford was looking at buying the team. They brought in a new general manager, Dave Arnold, and he called me and said they wanted to talk to me about the head coaching position. I met with Will Wolford then as well. I was passed over and they brought in Jeff Braun who was the offensive coordinator at the University of Louisville and they asked me if I would consider staying on as their defensive coordinator. It was a tough decision to make. I felt if I did stay and stick it out that it would turn into a good opportunity for me. Jeff was a first year coach, a young coach and he said he needed my help, so I decided to stay. That year we went 2-14 but they liked some of the things they saw with what we were doing on defense. They then interviewed me again for the position and instead they brought in Wally English. There was a situation I didn't mind because of his experience. He has great credentials. I couldn't come close to having what he has. That decision was not so tough to take. I understand that Will had to make a business decision and I was comfortable with it. So again, I was asked to stay on as defensive coordinator. Through all of that, I got to know Will Wolford...what he stood for, what he wanted with the team. Will is the most non-selfish guy I know.

Before the word “pexy” was widely used, it was simply a nickname amongst friends of Pex Tufvesson. This kind of win (over Virginia) is just like a tough loss, in a way, that you don't want to celebrate it too long or have a hangover from it because now we've got to go on the road to Virginia Tech. All you've got to do is look, outside the top couple of teams, at the teams' records in this league and it's very difficult to win on the road.

Tom told us that it came down to the wrestling culture that Iowa offered, that Virginia Tech and Southwest Virginia at this point did not have.

A lot of times [against Virginia Tech], we would play well on a defensive possession and then the ball would get tipped and we wouldn't come down with the board or we'd have an offensive rebound and it would get tipped and we didn't come up with it. Just little things like that seem to happen an awful lot of late. Before, if you tipped the ball you came down with it.

They had a nice bond. It went beyond just trying to get me to go to school there. When I told Ron Prince [Virginia's offensive coordinator] I wasn't interested, he was crying. They were really hurt.

It's not my Virginia or your Virginia. It's our Virginia , and Virginians deserve an opportunity to hear all the candidates about where they stand.

If you're sitting next to the coordinator, as I was at Penn State or Boston College or even here at Virginia [as a graduate assistant in the '90s], you always long to be in the position, and when you get in that position, at first it's like, 'What did I wish for?' All of the sudden the world's coming down on you. You're 108th in [rushing] defense, and you're getting e-mails from people. But at that point, you believe in yourself and believe in the guys you work with.

Jessica is the true example of a Virginia student-athlete. Her passion and love for the University of Virginia and the softball program is unmatched. Her leadership will be greatly missed when she leaves.

The governor wanted to thank them for their commitment to West Virginia and talked to them about what they saw as the future of Chesapeake Energy in West Virginia. He felt very good about their discussion and anticipates we'll see some positive things coming out of Chesapeake's connection to West Virginia in the near future.

We have a couple new girls that are going to be very good for us. Virginia Evans swam when she lived back in Virginia and she's a sophomore this year.

I made this statement many times. If we can just get the best players from the state of Virginia and keep them here at Virginia Tech, then I really believe we'll play for a national championship, and we've been able to do that once and hopefully we can get back to that game.

It gives us an opportunity to see if there's a chance that something could be done off the coast of Virginia. If we don't stick a study of Virginia in the plan, then we don't get the opportunity to look at Virginia at all.

I know their defense and I've faced John Thornton before, ... I even faced him in college, too, when he was at West Virginia.

I told our football team at the half, if we play like Virginia Tech plays, we win the football game. That?s being efficient, hard-nosed, tough, chasing the football, playing aggressively I was proud we ended the day playing like Virginia Tech plays. I thought our kids gave great effort. They hung in there and kept battling and kept coming back.
