Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit.
Nearly every coach I’ve talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don’t know if that’s right.
It’s been years since I’ve had a real input in the game anyway. For this game, I’ve just tried to keep all the other stuff away from the players and coaches.
If we’d beaten ‘em, I wouldn’t be going out.
If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some little school where they didn’t recruit, where all the kids wanted to go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.
I’ve had many a player tell me all through high school and right up until signing day that they were coming to Alabama, then they signed with somebody else.
I’m happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would’ve been good.
I’ll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we’ll be champions.
I want to make sure I don’t interfere with the success of that team next year. I don’t see any way I could go to practice like most of ‘em do, and not hurt the team. I’d go nuts if I tried doing that.
