'"That's good," Ryan said. "You're probably in the minority here, because everybody knows the kind of coach I am. I'll get this thing right. I'll get this defense rolling. That's what we need. The other thing is, too, that the fans know that I'm going to be here. I chose to be here because I think there's some great times ahead of this football team. Did I expect to go this year? Absolutely, absolutely did. It didn't happen, but I know one thing about this team, we'll finish. We'll fight like crazy until the end regardless of who's out there, who's not out there. We will fight to do our very best."'
