Success is the only motivational factor that a boy with character needs.

The players fire the coach, and as long as I'm on the same wavelength with them, I can coach as long as I want to.

To hell with exciting. I'd rather be drab as hell and win.

The minute I think I'm getting mellow, I'm retiring. Who ever heard of a mellow winner?

You don't get hurt running straight ahead...three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense. I will pound you and pound you until you quit.

I don't apologize for anything. When I make a mistake, I take the blame and go on from there. I just despise to lose, and that has taken a man of mediocre ability and made a pretty good coach out of him.

I'm not trying to win a popularity poll. I'm trying to win football games.
