When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.

This team believes it can be good and has chosen three guys they can rally around to get there,

It's hard for me to explain. I don't have an ego. I'm going to work to give these kids a chance to win. If we win, it's theirs. You guys are making this too complicated, believe me.

Here, I have an opportunity to affect the lives of a lot of young people - and not just on my football team. I'm not kidding myself that that would be true at the professional level.

When a kid plays football games before he attends a class, something is wrong.

I think they did well, showed a lot of poise, but are going to have to do a lot more if we are going to be really good. Hopefully, we can do a little bit more this week, a little bit more the following week and a little bit more the following week.
