Our personalities are the not the same, Coach Saban and I. And I have the utmost respect for what he's done and what he's done for me and my family.

Coach Saban's a great coach; he does it his way, and I have to do it my way. I have to cut my own cloth.

To me, personally, my development to become a head coach will be much better working for Coach Saban than necessarily going somewhere else because you learn every day that you're in there.

I don't believe in the coach-in-waiting thing. I don't think that works.

The ultimate deal is: Are you winning and are you successful? The guys who've done that have had opportunities.

I think in order to push kids and coach kids the way we want to coach them, we've got to have their trust.

I might not have a conference championship or a national championship as a head coach, but I had the recruiting factor.

I always felt like, one of the niches is if you can recruit the SEC, you can be a head coach in the SEC.

Every young man that we want to bring here to the University of Georgia, we want them to graduate from this place.

It's hard to say that it gets any better to be at your alma mater and run a major college football program.
