I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

Back 12 years ago, when Dr. Mathews was president here, we had a plan that when I got ready to quit, we'd bring a certain guy in and he'd take over that day and I'd leave. But as time wore on, I realized that wouldn't have been good at all.

I've made so many mistakes that if I don't make the same mistakes over, we're going to come pretty close to winning.

Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.

If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.
