“The first time you quit, it’s hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don’t even have to think about it.”

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

Don’t give up. Reach down inside of you and you’ll find something left.

I ain’t never been nothin but a winner.

I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover – you can’t do both.

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

If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
