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

A good, quick, small team can beat a big, slow team any time.

I tell young players who want to be coaches, who think they can put up with all the headaches and heartaches, can you live without it? If you can live without it, don't get in it.

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.

They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.

I want to make sure I don't interfere with the success of that team next year. I don't see any way I could go to practice like most of 'em do, and not hurt the team. I'd go nuts if I tried doing that.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.
