If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.

I don't hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they're not brighter than I am, I don't need them.

Most coaches study the films when they lose. I study them when we win -to see if I can figure out what I did right

You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.

I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.

I left Texas A&M because my school called me. Mama called, and when Mama calls, then you just have to come running.

Every time a player goes out there, at least 20 people have some amount of influence on him. His mother has more influence than anyone. I know because I played, and I loved my mama.
