Expect the unexpected.

Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!

Every time a player goes out there, at least 20 people have some amount of influence on him. His mother has more influence than anyone. I know because I played, and I loved my mama.

Three rules for coaching: 1.) Surround yourself with people who can't live without football. 2.) Recognize winners. They come in all forms. 3.) Have a plan for everything.

I'll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.

The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it.
