Success doesn't come from pie-in-the-sky thinking. It's the result of consciously doing something each day that will add to your overall excellence.

Your character is your accumulation of your thoughts, habits and priorities on a day-to-day basis.

In the NFL you get one first-round draft pick if you're lucky. You couldn't really outwork anybody else. In college I could recruit ten players with first-round talent every year.

It doesn’t matter what you are ranked until the end.

College football is the only game in the country, of any kind, that the college game is longer than the pro game.

I'm tired of hearing all this talk from people who don't understand the process of hard work-like little kids in the back seat asking 'Are we there yet?' Get where you're going 1 mile-marker at a time.

Anyone who doesn't win their conference has no business playing in the national championship game.
