My father said about money: 'You have to have some. But you don't have to have all of it. Just be honest with yourself.'

When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.

They ask me what I'd like written about me when I'm gone. I hope they write I made Penn State a better place, not just that I was a good football coach.

You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.

I still haven't gotten that little something out of my system that I'm still not a kid going to a football game. I'm excited.

We need people who influence their peers and who cannot be detoured from their convictions by peers who do not have the courage to have any convictions.

To teach an academic subject is certainly not easy, but compared to coaching, it is. We can say two plus two is four to every kid and be sure that we are right. But in coaching, we have to literally get to the soul of the people we are dealing with.
