I'm no innovator. If anything I'm a stealer, or borrower. I've stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.
I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.
That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
There's no substitute for guts.
The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards.
A good, quick, small team can beat a big, slow team any time.
A few minutes ago, I had a hard time getting through the lobby because of all the people. After today, that won't be happening.
Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.
If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood.
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Most coaches study the films when they lose. I study them when we win -to see if I can figure out what I did right
Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.
Don't talk too much or too soon.
