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.

There ought to be a special place in heaven for coaches' wives.

If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.

Get the winners into the game.

Recognize winners. They come in all forms.

In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.

There's no substitute for guts.
