Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.

We can't have two standards, one set for the dedicated young men who want to do something ambitious and one set for those who don't.

If a man is a quitter, I'd rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I'll know later what I can expect.

I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.

At Alabama, our players don't win Heisman Trophies. Our teams win National Championships.

Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.

You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike.
