I have had players who are good, and who know they are good; I have had players who are bad and know they are bad; I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good; I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.

I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.

All I know is, I don't want to stop coaching, and I don't want to stop winning, so we're gonna break the record unless I die.

It's not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

Every time a player goes out there, at least 20 people have some amount of influence on him. His mother has more influence than anyone. I know because I played, and I loved my mama.

Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.

I didn't care if we ever quit practicing. I loved it. The only other guy I ever knew who loved it as much was Jerry Duncan. He would beg to practice even when he was hurt. I've actually seen him cry because the trainer told him he couldn't scrimmage.

I don't have any ideas; my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
