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

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?

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.

You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.

To lose one’s health renders science null, are inglorious, strength unavailing, wealth useless, and eloquence powerless.

All excesses are inimical to Nature. It is safer to proceed a little at a time, especially when changing from one regimen to another.

I always want to wear clothes that my children will one day look back on and say, ‘Oh, you looked amazing – why didn’t you keep that?’ Not, ‘Oh my God – I can’t believe you wore that.’

Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY.

Intelligence inbound with the entire of reality, not fenced off, integral to that All. […] Then it was as if One voice sounded.

God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.

I am not accustomed to saying anything with certainty after only one or two observations.
