“Family is a big part of it. Keeping the family in one place. I’m very appreciative of that opportunity,” Simmons said this week as he wrapped up his grades and evaluations.
“(The No. 1 ranking) is gratifying. It speaks volumes about our players,” Simmons said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for the way they play and prepare. How much it means to them. It’s hard to walk away from that. That’s all you want as a coach.”
“I’ve been a part of it. I feel very good about Zac using me as a strong resource to help whatever ideas he has and we have to make it better,” Simmons said. “That’s all everyone in the building is thinking about. How do we get better? Certainly we were all embarrassed by what happened this year. That has to be our obvious calling card. How do we right the ship?
“I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of a group,” Simmons said. “I’ve got so much respect for the energy, the pride these guys took on a week-to-week basis. It’s hard. It’s hard when a team is not being successful when they’re not seeing wins week to week. The fact they never spit the bit, the fact they kept fighting no matter the record or the score, that also resonates with me.”
