You live up - or down - to your expectations.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be, what position they'd play and so on.

Coaching is nothing more than eliminating mistakes before you get fired.

I won't accept anything less than the best a player's capable of doing... and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!

I have no desire at all to become the winningest coach at Notre Dame. The record belongs to Knute Rockne or some other coach in the future.

It's the extra effort after you have done your best that creates victory.
