Three rules for coaching: 1.) Surround yourself with people who can't live without football. 2.) Recognize winners. They come in all forms. 3.) Have a plan for everything.

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

There is no sin in not liking to play; it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.

Don't worry about making friends; don't worry about making enemies. Worry about winning, because if you win, your enemies can't hurt you, and if you lose, your friends can't stand you.

If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some little school where they didn't recruit, where all the kids wanted to go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.

If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, "Roll, Tide, Roll!"

Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
