Lee Roy was the best college linebacker - bar none. He would have made every tackle on every play if they had stayed in bounds.

Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.

Every time a player goes out there, at least 20 people have some amount of influence on him. His mother has more influence than anyone. I know because I played, and I loved my mama.

I tell young players who want to be coaches, who think they can put up with all the headaches and heartaches, can you live without it? If you can live without it, don't get in it.

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

There is no sin in not liking to play; it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.

A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.
