I was happy working on my golf and doing a bit of fishing.
I want to make the Tartan Army happy and qualify for a major tournament. That's the goal.
The thing is, if nobody points out what's wrong, then nothing will ever be done about it.
At times, you have to maybe speak out of turn or say a little bit too much which upsets a few people.
My dad has even less emotion than me!
It's important not to get hung up on the notion that everyone who has an injury is trying to dodge it.
What I want is players who are 100 per cent committed.
It is my job to work with the players we have and try to improve them as a team and move the country forward.
With a club team you do get to work with them day in, day out, for weeks.
It's lovely being back in the west of Scotland, really nice.
I can assure you I'll be working very hard with the Tartan Army.
I will miss the day to day stuff because I love coaching. I love being out on the pitch.
It remains an ambiton of mine to get to a major finals with Scotland.
It should be the pinnacle of any players' career to get to a World Cup Finals with their country.
I won't be chasing down players who have retired. I only want players who are 100% committed to Scotland.
At Kilmarnock we are all inclusive, there are no divides.
I was no different to any other kid of my generation. I played with my mates in the park every day, every spare minute I could.
My father was my No.1 influence, long before him actually being involved with my youth team.
