“I think a lot of times you have to face your fears. I think everybody has to face their fears.”

I don’t believe you name a starter until the starter wins the team.

I don’t think I’m complicated at all. I’m not political, and I’m not trying to be diplomatic. I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, and I don’t say bad things about people. There is no agenda. There’s no trying to fool somebody.

I think there’s a certain pride people have in competition.

Honesty and integrity is an important part of our character, my character.

I played so long ago, I don’t think anybody even knew you could transfer. I don’t think they knew anything about it.

If I say I like one person, that means everybody that voted for the other person doesn’t like me. So, why would I do that?

When I talk about a successful program, define that. It’s not just winning the national championship every year because nobody can do that.

You can blame the other guy for saying it, or you can look at yourself and say, ‘I must have contributed to this.’

I would give them the ball and score points. I wouldn’t play them on defense. I would play them where they can get the ball and score points.

You can control your own destiny a little bit better in college. It’s hard to control all the variables, especially with the salary cap and things like that, in pro football.

I think people always assume that every team has great intangibles, and that’s not necessarily right.

I think when you win the national championship, it works throughout your team. Where human nature is to say, I did well. I got my quota this month.

I don’t ever want the players to relax in a game.

I certainly like to win. But I really hate to lose.

We played in a number of these neutral site games.

You get excited about getting married, aight, but after you’re married for awhile, you gotta have a process to make it work, aight.

I guess if people all followed the basic principles of their own religions, they would love everybody instead of hating half the world.

Everybody says we hated the Yankees. We didn’t hate the Yankees. We just hated the way they beat us.

I’m pretty satisfied with how ‘Postcard’ turned out. I think everybody did a great job.

I believe everybody is creative, and everybody is talented.

I just don’t think that everybody is disciplined. I think that’s a rare commodity.

It’s so ridiculous to see a golfer with a one foot putt and everybody is saying “Shhh” and not moving a muscle.

I always smoked cigars. I’ve smoked cigars with everybody in show business.

The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had.
