I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

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.

I didn't have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn't want to. But I didn't think they'd pick one I didn't like.

If you don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.

It's awfully important to win with humility. It's also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone, but if you never lose you won't know how to act. If you lose with humility, then you can come back.

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

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