If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.

I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.

There's no substitute for guts.

First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.

Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.

Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.

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.
