One loss is good for the soul, Too many losses is not good for the coach.

The best thing I ever learned in life was that things have to be worked for. A lot of people seem to think there is some sort of magic in making a winning football team. There isn't, but there's plenty of work.

I enjoy talking to my football men and my chemistry classes and I feel sure that they are quite interested in what I have to say.
