I don't play well enough to be allowed to throw my clubs.

One reason I won't compromise is because I believe honesty helps you win over the long haul. You can win a game tomorrow and lose a team. You can lose a game tomorrow and win a football team.

You live up - or down - to your expectations.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that's all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

Those who know Notre Dame, no explanation’s necessary. Those who don’t, no explanation will suffice.

One thing about me is I try to be honest.

Give your players something they can physically do - don't ask them to do something they can't do.
