Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.

Back 12 years ago, when Dr. Mathews was president here, we had a plan that when I got ready to quit, we'd bring a certain guy in and he'd take over that day and I'd leave. But as time wore on, I realized that wouldn't have been good at all.

If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.

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

I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.

It's been years since I've had a real input in the game anyway. For this game, I've just tried to keep all the other stuff away from the players and coaches.

Here's a twenty, bury two.
