Much is to be determined, but we appear to be on the brink of peace in the world of college football.

BCS executive director Bill Hancock joined Chris McClain and Jim Celania on The Mac Attack on WFNZ in Charlotte to discuss the time frame for finalizing a new college football playoff format, what said format might look like and the potential for home playoff games.

On the time frame for finalizing a playoff format:

“Well it’s always good and helpful to talk about the time frame, and first of all there’s still two more years to go on the current agreement. But the rest of the time frame is: during the next couple of months the conferences will be talking about the future and I hope by early summer we will be able to announce a change in the BCS.”

On what the format might look like:

“It’s a very interesting question. And when the commissioners elected to present this four-team playoff concept to the conferences, they intentionally didn’t resolve that as well as where to play the games and how the teams are selected. And I’ll be curious at the end of this to see what your listeners are thinking about it. But generally, there’s up sides and down sides to everything. Obviously if you have 1, 2, 3 and 4, you’ve got a pure bracket: 1 versus 4 and 2 versus 3. But if you take the conference champions — the top four ranked conference champions — then the regular season, which is the best in sports anyway, may mean even more. But then you would have a question about, ‘Well, what about No. 2 Alabama?’ This year, if it had been the conference champions, it would’ve been teams ranked 1, 3, 5 and 10. And is that what the public wants to see? I really don’t know. From what I’ve heard, folks are about divided 50/50 on it.”

On schools potentially having the ability to play home games in the playoff:

“There’s still a long way to go in our conversations, so we’re not to the end of the game yet and that certainly is one of the things that is still on the table. I was director of the Final Four before I went to work in football and we experienced it in basketball back in the eighties. Which was too much of a home-court advantage in basketball, and so we went away from it in basketball. And I don’t know what the response will be in football after awhile. Will people decide that the 1 and 2 teams have earned too much of an advantage? I dunno. And another thing is the infrastructure on campuses may leave something to be desired. And would you have the celebratory pageantry of a postseason event on campus?  That’s an unknown. But of course one of the advantages to campus play is you’re assured of a huge crowd of enthusiastic fans. And another one is, if you’re dealing with semifinals and a championship, then if the home team wins of course then their fans have not had to travel across the country two different weeks, a week apart, to go to these games.”

On who is involved in this decision and where they’re leaning:

“There’s 11 conference commissioners and the Notre Dame AD. That’s basically the board that runs the BCS. And I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to where they are on this. They haven’t come to a final conclusion. But they’re split. It’s safe to say that — they’re split. … The commissioners will collaboratively come to some agreement about what the format should be. There won’t be a vote — they will just sit and talk it through until they come up with something that everybody can live with.”

On the likelihood that this is a stepping stone to an eight-team postseason:

“I don’t think it’s likely. I don’t wanna speak for the next 30 years, but I don’t think it’s likely.”

Marinatto had held the position less than three years, a tumultuous time for a basketball-heavy league during a time when the BCS and football have dominated conference shifts. The Big East lost West Virginia, Pitt and Syracuse since Marinatto took over and will add teams like San Diego State and Boise State in 2013. Pitt basketball coach Jamie Dixon believes the Big East is still in a good spot and can sustain itself because of its uniqueness. That said, if it were in that good a position, the Panthers likely wouldn’t be leaving for the ACC.

Jamie Dixon joined 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh to discuss how the realignment has changed his recruiting, Marinatto’s resignation, if it changes Pitt’s plan to leave next year, regrets about leaving the Big East and an offseason after not making the Big Dance.

Has the shift in the Big East changed anything for you in terms of recruiting?:

“Well, it’s changed some things. There’s a lot of talk — obviously the conferences are changing as we speak. But we have to recognize where we’re going to be playing and the different things that come with that. … The reality is we’re generally going to have to go in somebody’s back yard pretty much every guy we recruit. We understand that and have been doing that for a while. We understand that we’ve got to probably head more toward ACC country, more toward the southeast a little bit.”

What’s your take on what appeared to be the forced resignation of Big East commish John Marinatto and where the Big East is right now?:

“I think the Big East has been in a good position. I think they’ve improved themselves in a lot of ways because of the teams that they’re able to add. I think adding Boise State, San Diego State and with a lot of other teams going to other BCS conferences … now it kind of separates the Big East and the BCS conferences from the other conferences as far potential teams that could break in to a BCS bowl. Now they’re  all really affiliated with BCS conferences. That said, there’s been a lot of talk and so much change in the conference. … I think there’s been a lot of movement that I think the Big East was just a situation that the Big East could be sustained because of how it started as a basketball conference with so many different schools with different makeups. … The Big East is unique, there’s no question about it.”

Does this change your timetable or do you still expect this to be your last year in the Big East?:

“That’s what people are saying and you look at it and see the landscape of it, with the teams coming in, you would think our departure would be next year. I don’t think it changes anything. … I don’t think it will affect us in any way. … It’s been a great affiliation, a great marriage between Pitt and the Big East. That said, it’s time for some teams to move and I think we’ve gone into a stable environment and I think everyone can agree to that.”

Are there any regrets about leaving the Big East?:

“Yeah, there is. Bittersweet was the word I talked about when it all happened. There’s obviously a lot of great memories. We’ve had a tremendous run there in the Big East and wouldn’t be where we’re at without the Big East. But at the same time, stability and conference realignment and revenue, all those different things. Academics, the way that conferences are going, I think the ACC holds a bright future for us and what we’re trying to do.”

What’s this offseason been like having not gone to the NCAA tournament?:

“It’s the first time. We’d been there 10 years in a row. Obviously when you’ve been there 10 years in a row, there’s no good way to look at it. … I think only four or five universities had been there 10 years in a row. Obviously we didn’t continue it. Always the case has been moving on to the next year every year I’ve been here and you’re excited about the next group and the next opportunity. I don’t think it changes in that regard.”

Jim Tressel joined ESPN 850 WKNR in Cleveland on the Really Big Show to talk about what his job at Akron now entails, whether he misses being away from the football field, if he has talked to Urban Meyer since Meyer took over at Ohio State, whether he is surprised that Gene Smith is still the Athletic Director at Ohio State after everything that has happened over the last year, if he has anything to add about his resignation and if getting back into coaching is something he would like to do.

What his job at Akron now entails:

“It’s a lot of fun because I’ve had a chance to be here for about a month. I started officially a few days ago but I got to spend about a month in a fact finding mission and Dr. Louis Proenza, who is a great man, wants to have a comprehensive program athletically, academically and all the rest so I’ve had a chance to visit with all the various departments and the biggest thing that we want is what we’ve wanted for 30-something years when we were in football coaching was looking for ways to have greater student success, greater preparation to get them ready for a tough, competitive world. Obviously we have some great goals at Akron to be a school of 40,000 people and to have tremendous research and so forth. I’ve had a chance to kind of dabble in a lot of things but number one is student success and that is what it’s all about.”

Whether he misses being away from the football field:

“The part away from the field obviously I miss. The good news is though the best part of coaching is working with youngsters, watching them grow up and helping them get ready for life. Of course I miss the chess game and the smell of the grass and all the rest but I would say Tony (Rizzo) that probably 75 percent of our time was spent just working with kids and trying to recruit kids which we will be doing here for different reasons. We want to recruit kids to invent things that may save our pancreatic cancer problems or whatever it happens to be but of course you miss the excitement of a ball game and so forth but I haven’t had a chance to miss it too much because there’s more than you can imagine. I used to have 120 players now I have 30,000 and it’s so much fun trying to see what you can do to help them out. When you’re around the game a long time of course you miss it.”

If he has talked to Urban Meyer since Meyer took over at Ohio State:

“Absolutely. In fact we just did a little photo shoot a month or so ago with Coach (Earle) Bruce, Coach (John) Cooper and Coach Meyer. We had a little bit of fun and Earle is really big on research with Alzheimer’s. He’s lost two or three family members with that dreaded disease so we were creating a piece that would kind of kick off a charity function that Earle was having and in fact two of the photos were auctioned off, signed by us, that each got 7,000 dollars. I saw Urban and of course his spring practice started and then I started here so I really haven’t had a chance to visit with him at all. He’s got a good crew coming back, he will have a lot of fun and they will win a lot of games.”

Whether he is surprised that Gene Smith was able to keep his job as OSU Athletic Director after the scandal:

“Not at all. Gene does the best that he can possibly do. When you’re trying to have 36 sports, 1,100 athletes, I don’t know how many thousands and thousands of fans and boosters and alumni and all the rest but when you’re trying to keep that all in line I think he works like mad and does the best he can. I’m not surprised at all.”

If he wants to add anything to his resignation that he hasn’t already said:

“I really can’t add anything. You don’t always know how the script gets written and the ironic thing is here we are a year later and get an unbelievable opportunity to work with great people and try to affect young kids which is what I entered the business 38 years ago to do. We’re as happy as can be and excited. It’s a little different wearing all this blue and gold all the time I’ve got to be honest with you but it’s a great blue and gold and we’re excited to be here.”

If getting back into coaching is something he would like to do:

“I wouldn’t sit here today and say it’s something that I want to do but you never know what lies out there. I didn’t know for sure I’d be sitting here today. Three years ago, if I was on my tip-toes looking into the future I would’ve I’m sure been surprised that this would’ve been the future so you never know. The old Athletic Director at Akron taught me years ago when I came as a Grad Assistant, he said keep your mind and your rear-end in the same place. He didn’t exactly say it that way but know what I’m saying. My mind is here, I’m loving every day and what the future holds who knows? But I know this; I will give everything I’ve got here so this place will never get short sold and I’m enjoying the heck out of it.”

Pete Carroll joined J.T. The Brick on Fox Sports Radio to discuss Junior Seau’s tragic death, to reflect on Seau as a person and a player, to discuss the tough transition from athlete to retiree and to touch on the brain trauma link that has been a hot topic in light of Seau’s decision to take his own life.

On his and his colleagues’ reaction to Junior Seau’s death :

“The spirit of Junior was so — as you know — it was so extraordinarily huge. He reached and touched and affected so many people that it was just almost like he was bigger than life and we just can’t believe that this happened. So we were all in shock and kinda of reeling about it all day long.”

His impressions of Seau, the person and the player:

“Like I said, he was almost bigger than life. He was almost like a superhero type of kid. And at SC he had had such a reputation as such a great person and a great player and he just carried that on. I heard Tedy Bruschi talking about him in his final years playing and Tedy was affected in an enormous way by his spirit of having fun and loving the game and working so hard. That was who he was long, long ago. And I’m sure he grew up that way and brought it to USC and made the most of his time there and then took it on to the league and did so many cool things. All the way from the start to the final games that he played at New England, and finishing up, he was just such a stud. So everybody’s gonna miss him. His spirit will live on and his ’55′ and the whole thing. There’s so much of it — it’s amazing.”

On how difficult it is for players to transition into retirement:

“Hopefully we learn from this. This is a terrible tragedy that I know our players need to come to understand in some way the impact of leaving the game, and how life goes on and it isn’t the same. And our guys have to find a way to move on and leave it. And I don’t know what happened here at the end but it did hit Junior really hard. He wanted to play forever, and it just isn’t the case. So getting ready for that is more significant than people think and it’s more difficult being a player of the magnitude and scope that he lived by. These guys need care, and they need consideration and help because it’s such a difficult transition and nobody’s ready for it. And nobody wants it to happen. And it can really take away a whole reality for some of the guys, and we need to help them as much as we can.”

On the connections people are drawing to head trauma and Dave Duerson’s suicide:

“To tie this to the bounty thing is crazy, but the Dave Duerson thing is real. And David — that’s an interesting thing that we have to delve into and understand better. And we’re working at it. The league is working at it — they’re just trying to figure it out. They are at the cutting edge of understanding all of the issues about the injuries and brain trauma, all of that. But there’s still a long ways to go, and for the most part, we just have to continue to love these guys and take care of them and look out after them long after they finish playing.”

With Seau dying tragically Wednesday, Peete was forced to begin mourning the loss of a man he’d known more than half his life.

Rodney Peete joined ESPN Radio in Los Angeles to talk about his college teammate, Junior Seau, who according to local authorities took his own life on Wednesday morning.

On Seau’s natural ability and willingness to participate early at USC:

“I remember him as a young freshman just coming in — and this was before he even started at SC — we had workouts and I would get my receivers out and running backs and we’d go work out in the summer. And he would always ask me — I’d see him lifting weights and he would always ask me, ‘Can I come out and work out with you guys?’ I said, ‘Well, it’s just really the offense, it’s the quarterback and receivers.’ ‘Alright, I want to cover.’ I said, ‘But we’ve got just receivers out there and you’re a linebacker.’ He said, ‘I’ll cover them.’ And he would go out, and he would cover them man to man, bump’n'run and would be all over them. That’s the kinda athlete he was — and he would do it with no shoes on.”

On Seau’s 2010 car accident:

“There was a lot of reports that that was an attempt (at suicide) and all that kind of stuff, and I talked to him and just wanted him to be real with me. He was like,’Hey, no man, I fell asleep and it was just one of those things where I ran off the side of the road and no big deal, and they make it out to be more than what it is.’ And I took him at his word. He’s Junior, and he’s one of those guys that, from the time in back in 1988, I could look him in the eye and say, ‘Be real with me,’ and he was real with me. … So I didn’t think anything of it. And I know he’s had some situations, and going through the divorce and all that kinda stuff going on, but never to the point it ruined his spirit or got him down or got him to the point where he thought that — this is a guy that was full of life all the time. And so never at any point did I feel that he had lost that.”

Tannehill, who played receiver and then eventually quarterback for A&M, hopes that familiarity — and that which comes with Sherman’s playbook — will help me make a smooth transition to the NFL level. He’ll need to make one with a bit of an interesting situation that includes veteran quarterback David Garrard and returning signal-caller Matt Moore.

Ryan Tannehill joined WQAM in Miami with Big Dog to discuss his initial conversations after being drafted by Miami, the quarterback situation he enters into, the playbook as it compares to that at Texas A&M, if he feels the A&M ties within the coaching staff led to him going to Miami, the history and tradition of the Dolphins, his transition over the past 24 months and learning NFL defenses.

What was the initial conversation like with Jeff Ireland and the Dolphins?:

“They told me I was going to be their pick and they were glad to have me. … I got to talk with everyone on the phone there and they told me they were excited to have me and just kind of told me a quick overview of how things were going to happen the next couple days. I guess that’s pretty much how the phone call went down. After that it was pure excitement.”

How are you treating the situation coming in as a top-10 pick when David Garrard and Matt Moore are both already there?:

“I know that there are two good quarterbacks there in Matt and David and I can’t wait to get down there and meet those guys and start learning from them. They’ve been around for a while and know the ropes and hopefully they’ll help guide me along. I think just playing in the offense here at A&M, being with Coach Sherman and basically the same system will definitely help speed up my progression as I make this transition. I know I have a lot to learn. I just want to take it one day at a time, go in and compete every day.”

How much of the playbook looked like the one you were used to at Texas A&M?:

“The majority. There’s some new plays and slight changes, whether it’s just the name of the play or slight adjustments on a couple of the routes. Definitely just a few changes, but I think that the foundation and majority of it’s the same. And I definitely think that will help me ease my transition.”

How much do you think the fact that a few of the coaches in Miami having been from Texas A&M led to you being picked?:

“I don’t know. I never really asked them how much that was in effect. But it’s not just those guys. … I think that it starts on top with the GM, the owner and the head coach and kind of trickles down. If they were saying, ‘Don’t draft this guy,’ I don’t think they would’ve drafted me. But I can’t say they were the only ones saying I was the guy.”

Your wife became a bit of a social media sensation during the draft. How did that go over?:

“It was great, just seeing all the excitement. She thought it was funny and I thought it was funny. It’s great. Any time you get some support it’s a lot of fun.”

Do you have a feel for the recent history of the quarterback position in Miami?:

“Yeah, I’ve got a little bit just going around the facility and seeing the pictures and hearing about the tradition of the organization. It’s a great organization with a rich tradition. I’m excited. I don’t feel like there’s any extra pressure because of that. I just know that I have to go in, handle my business day by day, get better every day and go out and compete. Everything else will fall into place from there.”

What do you think when you think back to being a receiver two years ago and then going in the first round as a quarterback?:

“It was crazy. It was definitely always a goal of mine. I wanted to be a first-round QB; I wanted to be a quarterback in the NFL. But being at receiver, you didn’t really know if it was going to happen or not. Just sitting back and thinking back to those days … it’s been a crazy experience but everything happens for a reason.”

Obviously you know the offensive system, but what about learning defenses?:

“Yeah, I think it’s going to take some reps. Whether it’s in the classroom, watching it on film or out on the practice field, I’m going to have to see those things a few times. I’m excited to learn from the guys that have been there. I feel they have a lot of experience that I can learn from.”

Meyer hopes the Ohio State job is his last in his coaching tour and he was overjoyed to return “home” to Ohio to have the privilege to coach in a place where the expectation is to win every year. The Buckeyes head coach checks in as he starts the transformation process in Columbus.

Urban Meyer joined WCNN in Atlanta with The Rude Awakening to discuss adjusting to life at Ohio State University, feeling the pressure of having to win every game at Ohio State, Florida/Florida State/Miami not having a single player selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft, the challenges of recruiting at Ohio State and the group returning at Ohio State this season.

How has this adjustment been for you going up to Ohio State?

“Well it’s great. It’s great to be back. It’s my home. 25 years ago I was in grad school there.  I’ve always grown up rooting for the Buckeyes and it’s good to be back home and great to be coaching again.”

What’s it like to be back in an environment where you are expected to win every game or else?

“Exactly the same rules. That’s…I don’t want to say it’s overrated, but it is. Every program…I’d say 95% of the teams in the SEC expect you to win every game. There’s teams like Ohio State, USC, Texas. Mac Brown is a great friend and he made a comment to me one time and said ‘You create a beast and then the problem with that is you have to feed it once and awhile.’ That’s real, but to say that’s an issue? That’s not an issue. That’s real life and it’s a dream to coach in a place where they expect to win.”

For the first time since 1981 there wasn’t a player taken in the first round from Florida, Florida State or Miami. What are your thoughts on that? It’s astonishing right?

“That is. You can’t explain that because every year Miami, FSU and Florida – the top five – the top 10 in the recruiting process.”

How tough is recruiting for you at Ohio State? Does the team recruit itself with the name Ohio State?

“Well Ohio is the only show in town in the state of Ohio. You gotta compete with your rivals. The team up north…Penn State. Some other ones come up there because there is great football. I think Ohio is one of the top five football states in America. I think it’s probably the best coached. The high school coaches of that state are fantastic, to say a school recruits itself? I don’t know if that is fair at all with the effort the coaches put into it. We work awful hard. I know Ohio. I hired my staff. Eight of the nine assists coaches are from Ohio and so we are going to pound that state hard. We are also going to cherry pick a little bit, which we have already done a little bit this spring.”

Talk to us about the group you have coming back this year?

“I like a bunch of our players. There’s some areas we need to strengthen a little bit, but that’s normal. I like my quarterback Braxton Miller. Defensively the last decade of football at Ohio State has been fantastic and Luke Fickell is going to run our defense. I don’t know the Big 10 well enough to really gauge what kind of season we are going to have. All I’m worried about is our team. Our team is…I like our guys.”

O’Brien is joined men’s basketball coach Pat Chambers and other Nittany Lion officials.

New Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien spoke with Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia about his tour, his offense and his experience as a man recruiting on behalf of a badly scarred program.

On if the 18-city bus tour is helping the recruiting process:

“No question. We’re going to recruit a six- or seven-hour driving distance from State College, and No. 1 is we’re going to try to do the best we can to take care of Pennsylvania. And so it does help in recruiting to get out there and meet people and let people hear our vision for Penn State football.”

On what the offense will look like next season:

“We’re a multiple offense. We’re a game plan offense, so you’re gonna see a lot of different things hopefully, and it depends on how well we execute those things in training camp and what we bring into the fall. But you’ll see a 2-back, you’ll see 1-back, you’ll see empty, you’ll see a no-huddle, you’ll see fast-paced, slow pace. Hopefully you’ll see a lot of different things and if we come into training camp and we’re not able to do all those things then you won’t see as many of them. So we’ve got a ways to go but we’re on the right track and we need to have a great summer and a great training camp.”

On what he’s found during the recruiting process:

“I’ve found people very receptive to Penn State and what the mission of Penn State is. One of the things that I’ve said from Day 1 is when you get a prospect and his family on campus, it really sells itself — between our great student body, the beautiful setting of the campus, the university itself and obviously our football facilities and our staff, we have a lot to sell at Penn State. And once you get ‘em on campus they see that for themselves.”

Once thought of as a borderline first round pick or maybe even an early second rounder, Jones has now been dubbed by both Michael Lombardi and Mike Mayock of the NFL Network as the best pass rusher in the draft.

Chandler Jones joined WNST in Baltimore with Thyrl Nelson to talk about which brother helped him the most in his pre-draft preparation, what the process has been like for him, what game fans should look at if they want to know what his game is all about, whether he feels he is flying under the radar, what he thinks the biggest adjustment will be for him from college to the pros, and what he is expecting on draft night.

Which brother helped him the most in his pre-draft preparation:

“I would say it was equal. My brother that’s a fighter, he has helped me as far as my hand speed and all those physical aspects of the game of football. Arthur has helped me more mentally because he’s been through the whole draft process and he’s telling me what to expect as I make this transition to the next level. The level of help is equal and it’s pretty much balanced out but I’m enjoying the whole process.”

What the process has been like for him:

“The process has been great. A lot of prospects I talk to tell me they’re tired, they’re annoyed and they just want to get it over with and get picked but as far as me, I’m enjoying this and you only go through it one time and I’m having a blast.”

The game that bets shows what he is capable of:

“I feel like I’m a pass-rusher and if you guys would’ve watched the West Virginia game a lot of my pass-rushing skills did come out. I wouldn’t say I’m a one-dimensional player. I’m not just that because I have to stop the run as well.”

Whether he feels like he has been flying under the radar:

“Yeah. I feel like I’m under the radar. I’m not the type of person that will say I’m not going to look at the mock drafts or not listening to what the announcers are saying but some people tweet me links and they have me as a popular player right now so that’s pretty nice to look at it.”

On the biggest adjustment from college to the pros:

“The biggest thing is changing my moves. I know that some of the moves I used in college are not going to work in the NFL. I’m going to have to adapt to playing at this new level and this new style of play.”

On his expectations for tonight and where he may be picked:

“Definitely, definitely. Right now they say I’m ranked and can go as high as the middle of the first round but I don’t feed into that at all. I’m still expecting third round so if I do go higher everything will be a surprise.”

Floyd enters this week’s NFL Draft projected as the No. 2 receiver in the whole lot, behind only Justin Blackmon. Exactly where he’ll end up and when appears to be up in the air, as it was once thought he might go somewhere in the 20s overall, but now some believe he could be a top-10 talent.

Michael Floyd joined WKNR in Cleveland with The Really Big Show to discuss the draft process, his idols, the rumors about where he might go, his plans for the draft, some teams he might end up playing for, moving on from his past incidents and the opportunity that lies ahead.

How much fun are you having with this whole draft process?:

“I’m pretty excited about the whole process. I’m happy that I get to have a dream come true and I’m just waiting to hear my name called.”

How much of a dream was it and who were you when you pretended to be guys in the backyard?:

“I used to play running back so I loved the Green Bay Packers and I used to watch Brett Favre and Dorsey Levens and Antonio Freeman. I had all three of them as I was growing up.”

There have been rumors you could now go in the top 10. How do you handle all of those things?:

“I think I handle it pretty well. I usually don’t listen to the internet and what people say. You’ll get kind of trapped in that whole thing thinking you’re going to go somewhere. But at the end of the day, you don’t get to choose where you go, they choose for you. It’s just a process that I waited for it to happen and I’m excited, but I don’t listen to what people say.”

What are your plans for draft night?:

“I’m headed to New York. … We played in the Jets stadium, but I’ve never been to the city.”

What would it be like to play in New York? Those are some of the rumors:

“That’d be great. I would like to play anywhere. It really doesn’t matter to me. Like I said, it’s like a dream come true, so I’m just going to work hard and I can’t wait for my name to be called.”

What about the Cleveland Browns?:

“I would love to play for the Browns. I think that would be an exciting time for me. I’m one of them guys that hopefully would be productive, work hard and just be productive for the whole organization.”

Have you moved on from some of the incidents in your career and what do you say to people who bring them up?:

“I learned a lot. That night, that incident that occurred, right there it was kind of the red flag coming up for me, just telling me that I’ve got to get my act together or this time right now of having my dreams come true would’ve never occurred. I don’t want to jeopardize doing foolish things for a career that I want for the rest of my life. You have to change and I did change and that stuff is behind me.”

Talk about this opportunity and how much it means to you:

“The opportunity is just there waiting and I’m very excited that I get the opportunity to do something that I love. I love the game of football. It’s just having a job that you want to go to every single day and you actually like it and want to be there and get better.”
