You can't get from A to Z by passing up B.

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.

I've always been able to stay focused on trying to recruit good players and trying to develop those players.

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

When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it's make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who's in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that.

The number one thing on any team that will keep your players from being selfish is respect for the other players.
