Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.

If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.

Expect the unexpected.

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

I don't care how much talent a team has - if the boys don't think tough, practice tough, and live tough, how they play tough on Saturday.

The biggest mistake coaches make is taking borderline cases and trying to save them. I'm not talking about grades now, I'm talking about character. I want to know before a boy enrolls about his home life, and what his parents want him to be.

You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
