“We all like to prove people wrong who say we’re no good.”

“Coaching to me is correcting mistakes and trying to get your players to think. If raising your voice occasionally gets them to think better, then that’s called coaching.”

“Cheating is cheating. Some coaches believe if you can get away with it, cheating is smart. I have no respect for those guys.”

“I’m not planning on losing a whole lot. I understand it’s a possibility because there are no Vanderbilts in the NFL. But I’m not a real good loser. I don’t really want to get good at it.”

“You keep playing, you get a lead and build on it. People get mad when you keep playing, but that’s part of the game, too.”

“We pitched it around in the USFL. We pitched it around at Duke. We pitched it around at Florida. I came here to see if we can pitch it around in the NFL. I don’t see why we can’t.”
