Find your own picture, your own self in anything that goes bad. It's awfully easy to mouth off at your staff or chew out players, but if it's bad, and your the head coach, you're responsible. If we have an intercepted pass, I threw it. I'm the head coach. If we get a punt blocked, I caused it. A bad practice, a bad game, it's up to the head coach to assume his responsibility.

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

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

You're still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don't have genuine desire, you won't be dedicated enough to prepare properly.

I'm no innovator. If anything I'm a stealer, or borrower. I've stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.

Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.

It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
