Football is to Texas what religion is to a priest.

The job of a football coach is to make men do what they don't want to do, in order to achieve what they've always wanted to be.

Perhaps the toughest call for a coach is weighing what is best for an individual against what is best for the team. Keeping a player on the roster just because I liked him personally, or even because of his great contributions to the team in the past, when I felt some one else could do more for the team would be a disservice to the team's goals.

In my opinion, character is the most important determinant of a person's success, achievement and ability to handle adversity.

There is only a half step difference between the champions and those who finish on the bottom. And much of that half step is mental.

I like the South because it is so much warmer on the sidelines than it is up North.

A champion is simply someone who did not give up when he wanted to.
