I had a great job at Murray State, but I perceived some great potential, and I still do. Dare I say there were some obstacles that we've had to overcome.
More Quotes from Denver Johnson:
To be honest, I'm excited again to be head coach here at Illinois State. There was a time here when I'm not sure I could say I was excited. My tenure here has not been an easy one. I feel we've got new leadership in the department, we've got good direction in the program. I feel that we're going to get a little bit of traction here and really become productive.Denver Johnson
We are excited to get this worked out. It gives us another opportunity to open up the season against a nationally recognized opponent. Our kids are always excited about playing these I-A games, and we just appreciate the opportunity.

I was really disappointed on the offensive side of the ball today. We are little watered down right now (in terms of offensive personnel), but overall I thought it was a good day - we got a little something done and lots of film to look at.

Our scoring system showed if you turn the ball over it's going to hurt you. Overall, I think the spring was really good. We wanted to have some fun and we did that. We wrapped it up on a positive note.

In coaching the old adage is you'd really like to come in behind someone they wanted to run out of town on a rail. (The previous staff) came in here and had great success, unprecedented success in the I-AA era. They set that high-water mark, and we fell short of it. That was disappointing to me. I'm sure it was disappointing to the fans and everyone involved in the program here.

I found myself the first couple of years that I had to sell things to people. There was a lot of resistance, a lot of resistance on the team and some in the athletic administration.
