With his optimism and with the new enthusiasm that a new coach always brings, I think he can take it to the championship level, and I will be surprised if he doesn't win the championship. Not that it will be easy, but he's a very talented individual.
I think that win really turned our program around,
I was born January 6, 1937, eight years after Wall Street crashed and two years before John Steinbeck published The Grapes of Wrath, his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the plight of a family during the Great Depression.
All winning teams are goal-oriented. Teams like these win consistently because everyone connected with them concentrates on specific objectives. They go about their business with blinders on; nothing will distract them from achieving their aims.
One day you are drinking the wine, and they next day you are picking the grapes.
To win a national championship, you've got to be a little lucky.
I don't think we can win every game. Just the next one.
We are not going to win because you have a new head coach, any more than you are going to fix a flat tire by changing the driver. We will win the minute all of us get rid of excuses as to why we can't win and stop wallowing in self-pity.
A team wins with the elimination of mistakes and with people who want to win and can't stand losing.
An agent won't help you get drafted higher, won't make you win more games, and won't make you faster or stronger.
The key to winning is choosing to do God's will and loving others with all you've got.
After winning, most teams become individuals; most teams become complacent.
See, winners embrace hard work.
You've got to have great athletes to win, I don't care who the coach is. You can't win without good athletes but you can lose with them. This is where coaching makes the difference.
