‘”Excited,” said RB Fred Jackson of his initial reaction to the hire. “He’s a coach that is known for winning. He’s a character and I think anytime you have a coach who is a character it brings a lot of excitement. We know he wants to win just like we do. Every player that I’ve talked to is excited about the hire. Former players of his that I’ve talked to say I’ll have nothing but fun times with him. I know he’s ready to work and I’m ready to work with him.”‘
