I've made so many mistakes that if I don't make the same mistakes over, we're going to come pretty close to winning.

It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.

Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.

I've had many a player tell me all through high school and right up until signing day that they were coming to Alabama, then they signed with somebody else.

First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.

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.

I plan on staying at Alabama for the rest of my career. I guarantee that I'll be here for you through it all, regardless of what happens.
