I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
One man doesn't make a team. It takes eleven.
If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Winning isn't imperative, but getting tougher in the fourth quarter is.
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Here's a twenty, bury two.
People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don't share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.
I don't hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they're not brighter than I am, I don't need them.
It's kind of hard to rally around a math class.
I hope to get out before they start football next year.
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.
