9:47 a.m. ET "I think that the greatest expectation that I have for this team to understand how important it is to put the work in and work together." He makes the "two stars" comment again. Having heard it in person, it is more along the lines that some have said (team members wanted Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno to do it all) than throwing the pair under the bus.

9:48 a.m. ET "I'm amazed I'm still here (at Georgia)."

9:51 a.m. ET Voted for Tim Tebow. "I think that's what everybody has said so far." Then he's asked what he made of all these questions. "I think that the ballots are private for a reason. ...

10:14 a.m. ET "Every decision I've ever made since I've been in Georgia has been to try to make a decision that would help us in the long run." I think that's a fair statement. "Everything I've done is to try to make sure that we will be here for the long haul." I've come to the realization that the South Carolina fan dream that he will leave for FSU or Miami is gone. He'll retire from Georgia unless he's fired -- which looks like a remote possibility.
