You can't get from A to Z by passing up B.
Every choice, every decision, everything we do everyday, we want to be a champion
Teaching is the ability to inspire learning.
There is no continuum for success. Focus on the progress, not the results.
The formula for success is every guy can make a difference for the entire team in whatever his role is. And to do it right, to get it right, is a critical factor in being successful.
The number one thing on any team that will keep your players from being selfish is respect for the other players.
When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it's make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who's in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that.
I'm tired of hearing all this talk from people who don't understand the process of hard work-like little kids in the back seat asking 'Are we there yet?' Get where you're going 1 mile-marker at a time.
Now, everybody always says there's no 'I' in team, but there is an 'I' in win, because the individuals make the team what it is, and how they think and what they do is important to the team. So when you act like the individual is not important, well, it is damn important who these people are and what they are.

Mediocre people don't like high achievers and high achievers don't like mediocre people.
Do what you do and be who you are.
When you play against good people, that's when you focus your concentration. Your sense of urgency to be disciplined in your execution all become more critical. Sometimes you get away with doing things not quite right against lesser competition, but when you play against real good people that's when it shows up.
I don't think it's about who you play, I think it's about who you are.
I don't like to lose. I don't expect to lose.
In the NFL you get one first-round draft pick if you're lucky. You couldn't really outwork anybody else. In college I could recruit ten players with first-round talent every year.
The roster that we have today may change tomorrow. It is what it is for right now.
I’ve never considered joining Twitter, nor do I know why anybody would.
Any team that does not win it's conference championship game should not play in the BCS title game
Focus on the play like it has a history and a life of its own.
