Winning a Big East regular season and tournament championship meant more than a National Championship

I think that actually might mean more than the national championship. Deep down it is... Boy did we all miss, you know, Jimmy and all of us... it's much better fighting your own neighborhood. The guys you know, the guys you have to recruit against.

This is a subjective opinion from a Hall of Fame coach about his own career priorities.

The NFL preseason should have a full Sunday slate with RedZone to help fans practice for the regular season

I think that the preseason should mimic the regular season and that we should have a full Sunday of football with a red zone to get us ready because the random start times... Give me, let me actually practice what it feels like to get up on a Sunday and get my body ready and watch every team play.

The NFL has not changed the preseason schedule to a uniform Sunday block; it remains spread across various days and times.

The NFL's new taunting rule is going to be brutal and should be complained out of the league

The taunting rule fucking sucks. It's going to be brutal and we're going to all... It is the dumbest rule ever. We need to [complain it away].

The rule was heavily criticized and enforcement was somewhat softened in subsequent seasons, though it remains on the books.

The 2004 UConn team had the best talent of any I ever coached

I th I think the magical team might've been all for... Because number two in draft Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong, Marcus Williams, six first round draft choices not all at once, but that was the best team I should say. Best talent.

This is the coach's subjective professional opinion on his rosters.
