Becoming a champion is not an easy process... It is done by focusing on what it takes to get there and not on getting there.

It's not human nature to be great. It's human nature to survive, to be average and do what you have to do to get by. That is normal. When you have something good happen, it's the special people that can stay focused and keep paying attention to detail, working to get better and not being satisfied with what they have accomplished.

Any team that does not win it's conference championship game should not play in the BCS title game

Focus on the process of what it takes to be successful.

What happened yesterday is history. What happens tomorrow is a mystery. What we do today makes a difference - the precious present moment.

Discipline is not punishment. Discipline is changing someone’s behavior.

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