Neuheisel Conference Call Pt. 4

On the decision to fire Moore:
“I just felt like we could play that position more consistently. I just felt like there were lots of places where we could’ve cleaned it up just a little bit better. This is not just pointing at Reggie. This is me making a staff decision as to how to improve. we have more than just the problems we’re talking about now. At the end of day, a coach wears lots of hats. I need them to wear them all.”

On potential defensive changes:
“I think I’m through with the defense. Obviously, I’ve got to come to a decision as to who’s going to come in and coordinate.”

On Bullough’s experience not being an issue when he was hired:
“Fair question. I believed that chuck was ready for the task. I believed it was the right thing to do for a football team that had lot of coaching changes in the past. Chuck was chomping at the bit for the chance. Sometimes that’s what you need. I think Chuck is going to be a great coordinator. There are games where he has been a great coordinator. For us, we needed the ability to do a little more with experience, to handle the things that come our way.”

On making the decisions based on current available coaches:
“I don’t make the determination because I can go get “this guy,” I make the determination because I think we can do better. Now we’ll go out and see what the talent pool looks like. I expect there to be some quality candidates.”
