“I could not concur nor accept the assertions made by the interviewers that our players were ‘unfocused’ and looking towards our next contest. As the Coach of these men I know the professionalism and dedication which they commit in their preparation for each and every game. This group leaves it all on the field week in and week out, regardless of the outcome.”

“The fact of the matter is that on this day we were not the better team, which I take responsibility for and congratulate the Montreal Alouettes on their win.”

“I remain steadfast in my support and defence of our players, their professionalism, and commitment to our fans and the Blue Bomber organization. This is a special group of men who have fought through significant adversity this season and a group I am very privileged and pleased to have the honour of coaching.”

“Once again, my apologies go out to those who may have been offended by my comments this afternoon.”
