When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.

I didn't care if we ever quit practicing. I loved it. The only other guy I ever knew who loved it as much was Jerry Duncan. He would beg to practice even when he was hurt. I've actually seen him cry because the trainer told him he couldn't scrimmage.

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.

The idea of molding men means a lot to me.

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.

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

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.
