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

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.

I'll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

When I was a young coach I used to say, "Treat everybody alike." That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

You try to make your team do something they're not capable of and you get murdered.

Don't tolerate lazy people. They are losers.
