I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.
Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.
Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.
Don't tolerate lazy people. They are losers.
Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!
If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.
I have had players who are good, and who know they are good; I have had players who are bad and know they are bad; I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good; I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.

Recognize winners. They come in all forms.

I have always tried to teach my players to be fighters. When I say that, I don't mean put up your dukes and get in a fistfight over something. I'm talking about facing adversity in your life. There is not a person alive who isn't going to have some awfully bad days in their lives. I tell my players that what I mean by fighting is when your house burns down, and your wife runs off with the drummer, and you've lost your job and all the odds are against you. What are you going to do? Most people just lay down and quit. Well, I want my people to fight back.
The Lord expects you to do some things for yourself.
If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.
You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.
But there's one thing about quitters you have to guard against - they are contagious. If one boy goes, the chances are he'll take somebody with him, and you don't want that. So when they would start acting that way, I used to pack them up and get them out, or embarrass them, or do something to turn them around.
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.
I'm no miracle man. I guarantee nothing but hard work.
The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards.
Don't worry about making friends; don't worry about making enemies. Worry about winning, because if you win, your enemies can't hurt you, and if you lose, your friends can't stand you.
If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
