No star playing, just football.

I don't like to lose, and that isn't so much because it is just a football game, but because defeat means the failure to reach your objective.

Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a failure.

The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.

You know, I've been attending so many banquets that I know what they're going to serve before I get there.

The morning we left South Bend, every student and professor was out of bed long before breakfast and marched downtown accompanying the team to the railroad station. It was the first time I'd seen anything like this mass hysteria generated on the Notre Dame campus over a football game.

I've found that prayers work best when you have big players.
