I don’t care what you did yesterday. If you’re happy with that, you have bigger problems.

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

We have three kinds of guys on our team. We have guys that get it; they play good; they understand how to play winning football. We have some guys that are trying to get it, and they are working hard every day? We are supporting them, and we want the guys that have it to support them. Then we have some guys that don't get it and don't know that they don't get it. We are trying to replace them. We only have a couple left.

One thing about championship teams is that they're resilient. No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity.

We create a standard for how we want to do things and everybody's got to buy into that standard or you really can't have any team chemistry. Mediocre people don't like high-achievers and high-achievers don't like mediocre people.

There is no continuum for success. Focus on the progress, not the results.

Mediocre people don't like high achievers and high achievers don't like mediocre people.
