“One of these days when I’m finished coaching at Alabama.”

I just want everybody to know that I’m opposed to an unauthorized biography on anybody.

If I were a high school coach, I would put my best players on offense. The best athletes on my team,

You have this beautiful hole, this beautiful opportunity to get a good score.

Rex Ryan does a lot of the same kind of stuff that we do in terms of how they play in the secondary and what they do.

Now do I get some time off? Do I get a bonus? Do I get to go on a cruise? But it’s not to keep trying to be the best. That’s not necessarily human nature.

One thing I always tell players is that there are three bad things.

There won’t be any hearsay. There won’t be any expert analysis from anybody else. It will be the real deal.

I think you have to be more flexible to be a pro coach because once you pay the guy the money, whether he can backpedal the way you want him to or whatever, his style of play may not suit you, but you still are going to play him, and he is going to be a part of your team.

The way I look at it is, if you don’t want somebody to know something, don’t say it. If you don’t want them to see you do something, don’t do it.

We all have anxiety about things. We all have little insecurities, but eventually you have to face your fears if you want to be successful, and everybody has some fear of failure.

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?

The only time I ever enjoyed ironing was the day I accidentally got gin in the steam iron.

When you’re the commander in chief, you’re the commander in chief on day one. You don’t get like a six-month grace period.

I lived with the terrible knowledge that one day I would be an old man still waiting for my real life to start. Already, I pitied that old man.

I am a businessman. This is what I do each and every day. I love it. I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.

Unless you sit down and talk to your dad and say, ‘Why weren’t you there?’ and he says, ‘I’m going to really tell you the truth,’ then you won’t know.

Whenever you save five shillings you put a man out of work for a day.

I’m a cop, and cops talk. They called me the day he did it, but did you ever hear me say anything about it? I played ball, because that’s how I am. I’m true.

Draft day is a hectic day, especially for draftees and, more or less, for management.
