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.

If we'd beaten 'em, I wouldn't be going out.

In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.

When I was a young coach I used to say, "Treat everybody alike." That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.

I don't hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they're not brighter than I am, I don't need them.

Football changes and so do people.

I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
