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

We do not pull in and fill up. And I'll tell you why we don't. It's because I don't buy one goddamn drop of gas in the state of Michigan. We'll coast and push this goddamn car to the Ohio line before I give this state a nickel of my money.

The only way we'd get beaten was if we got a little fat-headed, if we didn't train right, if we had dissension on the squad.

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.

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

You don't get many chances to pay back what's been done for you. Take them.

Indomitable in victory, insufferable in defeat.
