Fickell Opening Statement:

"This is obviously a whirlwind, I know for everyone in here when you end a season, and things turn around this fast, this quick, but it's the world that we live in. It's things we have to do in order to maintain our program, our kids. To give them clarity and to move forward. That's my greatest objective right now. I spent 4-5 hours today visiting with as many kids on the team as I could, and that's what I will continue to do. Got a lot of work to do, with doing that, and I'm excited about it."

On The Job Change:

"Change is inevitable. Right, there is change in all of our lives. Growth is what's optional. and we have to choose to grow. There is a lot of change in my life as well, and I know for us in particular as a group of men, together we are all going to be growing together through this change."
