It’s easier to win the National Championship than the SEC, ask Nick Saban.

Number four, we're going to play like winners, play the game the way it's meant to be played. Don't get full of yourself if something good happens. Don't get too depressed when something bad happens.

I don't know. I always sort of liked playing [Georgia] that second game because you could always count on them having two or three key players suspended.

We've got a support system that gives our players a wonderful opportunity to graduate. If they go to class and give good effort, they can graduate from this school, and I believe that's important when you go out recruiting.

In the offseason, why can't it be a little lighter? It's not life or death. I try to have a little fun, but all of my comments are true. I don't lie. If they get mad at me for saying something that isn't true, then tap me on my shoulder and say, 'That isn't true.'

You keep playing, you get a lead and build on it. People get mad when you keep playing, but that's part of the game, too.

All I can say is that I'm going to try to coach the way I've coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.
