My approach to the game has been the same at all the places I've been. Vanilla. The sure way. That means, first of all, to win physically. If you got eleven on a field, and they beat the other eleven physically, they'll win. They will start forcing mistakes. They'll win in the fourth quarter.

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.

I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.

I'm no miracle man. I guarantee nothing but hard work.

You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.

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

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.
