People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don't share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.

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.

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.

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

I ain't never been nothin but a winner.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.

Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
