Give your players something they can physically do - don't ask them to do something they can't do.
God looks after children, animals and idiots.
Actually, all I ever wanted to be was the best in my field.
I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be, what position they'd play and so on.
If he's got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don't hire him.
It's a better view if you're standing up than if you're laying down.
I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity.

To win a national championship, you've got to be a little lucky.
Absolutely. There are a 1000 better coaches in the cities, but I'm the best in the country.
My athletes always follow my advice... unless it conflicts with what that they want to do.
It's not my job to motivate players. They bring extraordinary motivation to our program. It's my job not to de-motivate them.
One thing about me is I try to be honest.
First we become the best, then we'll become first.
