It definitely means he doesn't feel that strongly about it or it would have made it to the media. Like somebody else said, this team can be evaluated after the season when they've actually won something. Right now, they haven't proven themselves in the post season or won any district region or state titles. The coach was probably speaking towards the potential of the defense and you grabbed on to one little peice of a comment and ran with it.
