This will be a running dialogue throughout the day, so we’ll up these quotes as they come in via text and Twitter.
Not every guy had any comment at this time.
Bosco DB: James Smith
“I’m really going to miss him. I gained a great relationship with him. My mom loves him. But for me being a DB this is a great situation…(Jimmy Lake) is definitely ready. I’m happy he is the head coach now so we can keep him a lot longer.”
LB Carson Bruener
“I’m pretty shocked about the news just because I didn’t see it coming at all…so it came as a surprise for me, but (I’m) happy that Coach Lake is taking over. He’s a great coach and since he has been with Coach Pete for the last eight years, he has adapted to the culture that he has made and plans to continue that so that, so that doesn’t change anything on my commitment. (I’m) committed to be a Dawg and I don’t see that changing.”
Texas RB: Jay’Veon Sunday
“I don’t know what to say about it…crazy”
TE Mark Redman:
“Everything will stay the same, nothing changes for us.”
OL Geirean Hatchett:
“Just processing it for the last couple of hours. I was shocked at first, but after talking with coaches I feel about the situation we’re in.”
WR Sawyer Racanelli:
“I was shook at first but Coach Lake is a really good coach. Coach Adams is coming for an in-home visit tomorrow…I’m very excited to talk to him. My family and I are going to proces this news, but I am still a Dawg!”
