It’s in Chuck’s own words, though I might have omitted a word, a sentence or punctuation here and there. If you want to read the unedited version, it is linked at the bottom of the page.
Chuck Long’s Thoughts on Spring Practice:
“Sometimes I kick guys who are seniors. They think they work hard, but that’s just not the case. These guys didn’t have the work ethic in a big way.”
On what lies ahead for the coaching staff:
“We don’t have a depth chart. I don’t have a quarterback depth chart. I said after the Spring game that I’d have it by the end of the week – might not even happen until fall camp.”
On defensive improvements during spring practice:
“I haven’t been here for practice. I know its a cliché that you always hear, but that’s going to be key in three years.”
On the offense:
“Offensively, we’re working less and less. The spring game was not indicative of anything.”
On special teams:
“Special teams continue to find special teams. Bryan’s alive and that’s saying a lot.”
On whether or not he was surprised Kevin O’Connell was drafted so high in the third round:
“I knew teams would look at him, but I’m surprised.”
On whether any of the three quarterbacks separated themselves during spring practice:
“We didn’t have a lot of them and that’s the way it should be.”
On the improvement of the defensive line:
“It’s one of our most improved units that we have to improve on.”
