I remember when I was coaching down at Florida, we would always lose kids in recruiting battles to Clemson. I would tell my coaches that we shouldn't be losing kids to Clemson. Charlie Strong responded ‘coach have you ever actually been to Clemson?’ I hadn’t but I’ll tell you what, I’ve been here now and I get it. This is an exceptional, special place.

I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to re-evaluate my priorities of faith and family.

At the end of the day, I'm very convinced that you're going to be judged on how you are as a husband and as a father and not on how many bowl games we won.

Elite warriors, when they accomplish their mission, they celebrate.

I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved.

You don't get 5 years to build a team any more. You get 2 if you're lucky.

I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved. Well-prepared players make plays. I have yet to be in a game where the most prepared team didn't win.
