I don't care how much talent a team has - if the boys don't think tough, practice tough, and live tough, how they play tough on Saturday.

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.

Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.

Recruiting is the one thing I hate. I won't do it unless my coaches tell me I've just got to. The whole process is kind of undignified for me and the young man.

If you don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.

When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.

A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.
