“I think I’m pretty misunderstood, because I’m not just about football.”

So when you act like the individual is not important, well, it is damn important who these people are and what they are.

When you have the ability to affect other people and be somebody that somebody wants to emulate, care enough to help somebody else for their benefit, that’s what makes you a good teammate, and that’s what everybody’s looking for.

It’s been our goal as a program to always give our players the best opportunity to be successful, whether it’s personally, academically, or athletically.

I don’t know that there’s any particular scientific evidence that you could say, more guys get hurt in this offense versus that one, or hurry-up, or whatever, but everything that we’ve ever done in the NCAA is about exposure. How many exposures does a player get?

Teachers are always trying to inspire people to do better, to learn, to grow. That’s what we do, and we’re proud of the success we’ve had here doing that, and it’s something we’ll certainly continue to do.

There’s certain things that I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through.

Talent is talent, and everybody knows somebody who has talent or ability, but they never really converted it into a productive performance for whatever reasons.

No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity.

If you’re a coach, you’re a teacher.

I try to stay out of the spotlight.

Golf is a great example to me. Golf is a metaphor of life. I mean, every shot.

I want what’s best for people who want to improve the quality of their life.
