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.

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.

Don't tolerate lazy people. They are losers.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

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

I left Texas A&M because my school called me. Mama called, and when Mama calls, then you just have to come running.

If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood.
