Broadcasting is easy; you just talk until you think of something to say.
After winning, most teams become individuals; most teams become complacent.
I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.
It's not my job to motivate players. They bring extraordinary motivation to our program. It's my job not to de-motivate them.
I'd say handling people is the most important thing you can do as a coach. I've found every time I've gotten into trouble with a player, it's because I wasn't talking to him enough.
Attitude determines how well you do it.
I have no desire at all to become the winningest coach at Notre Dame. The record belongs to Knute Rockne or some other coach in the future.
I've never seen the yellow light, umm the yellow line be wrong.
It's a better view if you're standing up than if you're laying down.
Give your players something they can physically do - don't ask them to do something they can't do.
I believe - we all pay taxes. I'm happy to pay it, but I hate to have it abused, money wasted, no accountability. That's going to bother you.
For victory in life, we've got to keep focused on the goal, and the goal is Heaven.

In adversity, there is opportunity. Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.
