The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.

We can't have two standards, one set for the dedicated young men who want to do something ambitious and one set for those who don't.

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.

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.

If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it's my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price.

There is no substitute for guts.
