Gus talks about stuff

Excerpts from Tuesday presser:

"Saturday was a big win for our program. ... Really feel like we're in a good spot for the rest of the season.

-- On giving over play-calling duties to Rhett Lashlee: "Something after the first game that it really hit me that it (was) 100 percent best for our team" to do.

-- On Paul James: He has a knee injury "doesn't look like he'll be back the rest of the season."

-- On no longer play calling: "My plan in the off-season was to be more involved like I talked about. Sometimes reality hits you. This day in this league, to be a head coach and calls plays" isn't best.

-- Reiterates that it "hit me after Game 1" that him calling plays wasn't "realistic" as a head coach

-- "I'll still be on top of things in all three phases."

-- On difference in no longer calling plays: "It was very refreshing last week; during practice, during preparation. I wasn't coaching angry out there Saturday."

-- "I felt like I was too negative the first couple of games ... living and dying every play."

-- On Red Zone: "I think it's just overall evaluation of all of the above." Scheme, fitting to players, play calling.

-- On lack of negative plays in running back: Thought it was a big key. "I thought Kerryon Johnson was a full-grown man."

-- Says Malik Miller and Kam Martin will be ready if called upon

-- On the Toomer's Corner fire: "I hope they punish the guy big time."

-- Calls Les Miles a "legend" in the SEC

-- Says nobody connected to the program had any influence on his decision to give up play calling: "Zero"

Let's see...it hit him after game 1. I guess he waited until it kicked him in the shin after game 3 to do something about it?

I will say, you could see the difference in that regard. He looked more like a fan than a coach, especially at the end of the game.

That's just because he had a cap on instead of a visor.

Had he lost that might have become a reality.

Ear-regardless of how this looks at this stage of the season and his career, it is what it be. I'm just happy to know who is handling the play calling from here on out.

It always helps to know exactly who to call "Asshole, Idiot and Fucking Putz.
