I think I've got an outstanding defensive assistant staff that's really going to help us have consistent, strong defenses. And offensively, we have an excellent staff. We've got some younger guys on offense, but that's what I coach and have my entire coaching career.

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.'

If I had a defense like Hal Mumme has, I would be trying them on every kickoff.

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.

Cheating is cheating. Some coaches believe if you can get away with it, cheating is smart. I have no respect for those guys.

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.

You know what FSU stands for, don't you? Free Shoes University.
