KIRK ON GARLAND
"The goal for me as a coach has always been to try to attract people smarter than me to the program, and Paul is a great example. He is loved by the team for his willingness to listen first to players and connect with them, and the role he plays in our staff positively impacts us in every way. As his role expands with the team, his impact will be even more visible."
