I think I'm telling the truth. I sat by Ray Perkins at the Hall of Fame dinner in New York, and at that time he didn't know he was our coach and I didn't either.

Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.

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

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

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.
