“I ain’t never been nothin but a winner.”

Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you’ll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don’t have a plan. That’s why it’s easy to beat most folks.

If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.

Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don’t forget them when they leave.

There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.

I can reach a kid who doesn’t have any ability as long as he doesn’t know it.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.

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.

There is no substitute for guts.

I don’t hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they’re not brighter than I am, I don’t need them.

Don’t tolerate lazy people. They are losers.

If you don’t have discipline, you can’t have a successful program.

You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they’ve got one heartbeat. Then you’ve got yourself a team.

Be aware of “yes” men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget – people win.

In life, you’ll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.

You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.

If they don’t have a winning attitude, I don’t want them.

We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.

Someone will always be looking at you as an example of how to behave. Don’t let him down.

10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.

Communists are frustrated capitalists.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

When a storm comes, it is the trees that get uprooted. Be as humble as the grass and nothing can touch you.

I am a hell raiser. I do my own thing. And I believe what I do is the right thing.
