strong kids florida
I remember when I was coaching down at Florida, we would always lose kids in recruiting battles to Clemson. I would tell my coaches that we shouldn't be losing kids to Clemson. Charlie Strong responded ‘coach have you ever actually been to Clemson?’ I hadn’t but I’ll tell you what, I’ve been here now and I get it. This is an exceptional, special place.
player florida color
But what I didnt want to have happen, and I made this clear to Jeremy (Florida AD), if I am able to go coach, I want to coach at one place, the University of Florida. It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach? I dont want to do that. I have too much love for this University and these players and for what weve built.
running winning water
It's competition. It's putting them in environments, in situations where I want to see who the fighters are and who they guys are that are going to compete. And there will be rewards at the end of the day. Gatorade if you win. You drink out of a water hose if you lose and do some running. And that includes the coaching staff.
football college games
I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved.
husband father games
At the end of the day, I'm very convinced that you're going to be judged on how you are as a husband and as a father and not on how many bowl games we won,
warrior celebrate missions
Elite warriors, when they accomplish their mission, they celebrate.
team player winning
I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved. Well-prepared players make plays. I have yet to be in a game where the most prepared team didn't win.
effort leader levels
If you can raise the level of effort and performance in those around you, you are officially a leader.
average special littles
It is so easy to be average. It takes a little something to be special. Why be around average?
beat field great job squeezed tennessee using
We have not done a great job of using 53 yards, the width of the field. I think what we've done is kind of squeezed it down because that's how we beat Tennessee play great defense, play great field position.
best care flying hitting injury major personnel playing taking team
This was our best team win. This is a team that battled through some injury issues, a team that battled through some major, major personnel issues. They're playing with passion. They're hitting people. They're flying around. It was a team taking care of one another.
best call guys hard momentum needed players trust turn yard
Momentum was slipping. We needed to do something to turn that around. The guys I had in there were guys I trusted, so it wasn't really a hard call to make. You have to have trust and on fourth-and-1, go get it. Give it your best players and go get the yard and they did.
It's unacceptable, and we have to get better at it.
