I'm as worked up and excited for this game as I can possibly be. But I know I'm not nearly as worked up as the coaching staff. This is a tremendous match, and I think everyone agrees it's the two best teams.
I'm amazed that there is any dissatisfaction or anything other than complimentary comments about coach Brown.
He's not very fast, but maybe Elizabeth Taylor can't sing.
Sometimes you have to suck it up and call a number.
Breaks balance out. The sun don't shine on the same ol' dog's rear end every day.
If I were going to stay in coaching, I would have stayed right there because I was totally happy.
You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.

If everything had already been done, there would be nothing left for young people to accomplish. There are always going to be people who run faster, jump higher, dive deeper, and come up drier.
I was still enjoying coaching, but there was a repetitious manner about it.
I knew that when I resigned from the University of Texas that I would never coach again.
I learned this about coaching: You don't have to explain victory and you can't explain defeat.
I used to care more about the score than I do now.
I hope so, and I know Coach Brown hopes so.
