There's nothing worse than recruiting a player and then leaving the player.

I might not have a conference championship or a national championship as a head coach, but I had the recruiting factor.

My goal is to outwork everybody in recruiting, sign the best players in the state, and turn these guys into the best team we can.

It never stops. It's 365 recruiting. That cell phone you've got, these smartphones are the death of college coaching.

Every kid I've been around as a football player, they want their coaches to make them better as men and as players.

I think, as a coach, you have to be willing to do what's best for the player. And you say what's best for the player: is it better to give him a game suspension, three-game suspension, no suspension. I think each case may be different in that.
