I left Texas A&M because my school called me. Mama called, and when Mama calls, then you just have to come running.

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

If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.

Winning isn't imperative, but getting tougher in the fourth quarter is.

If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it's my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price.

I didn't have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn't want to. But I didn't think they'd pick one I didn't like.

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.
