There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.

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.

I don't have any ideas; my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.

It's not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

I told them my system was based on the "ant plan," that I'd gotten the idea watching a colony of ants in Africa during the war. A whole bunch of ants working toward a common goal.

If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some little school where they didn't recruit, where all the kids wanted to go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.

Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.
