All I know is, I don't want to stop coaching, and I don't want to stop winning, so we're gonna break the record unless I die.

There is no sin in not liking to play; it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.

Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.

Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.

I have always tried to teach my players to be fighters. When I say that, I don't mean put up your dukes and get in a fistfight over something. I'm talking about facing adversity in your life. There is not a person alive who isn't going to have some awfully bad days in their lives. I tell my players that what I mean by fighting is when your house burns down, and your wife runs off with the drummer, and you've lost your job and all the odds are against you. What are you going to do? Most people just lay down and quit. Well, I want my people to fight back.

Don't worry about making friends; don't worry about making enemies. Worry about winning, because if you win, your enemies can't hurt you, and if you lose, your friends can't stand you.

I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
