Don't ever ask a player to do something he doesn't have the ability to do. He'll just question your ability as a coach, not his as an athlete.

You can pay people to perform, but you can't pay people to excel.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn't much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn't even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.

People eyeing you as a potential leader tend to ask three questions: Are you committed? Do you care about me? Can I trust you?

I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.

All I've seen agents do is talk players into having bad senior seasons because they're trying to keep themselves from getting injured.

I've never seen the yellow light, umm the yellow line be wrong.
