The mentor thing is overblown to me. I'm going to coach the player. I'm not going to have another player coach the player. They can be friends but when it comes to what I want him to do on the football field, that's my call, not another player's call.

I still love Colt McCoy, but I will always try and do what I think we have to do to make the team better and to improve ourselves.
