If he’d have got to 3 and 4, he’d have been fine, … But you had to get past 1 and 2.

We let them know we’re working on Alabama’s stuff, and they know they have to do things exactly right. We can’t compete against Alabama if we make mental errors. They have too good athletes.

Thank God it worked out and I didn’t have to pay his salary. He was making about 20 grand a year.

One thing you learn in football, you waste your time worrying about injuries because they’re going to come.

He’s the most pleasant surprise of camp.

You miss a week, you go to the back of the bus. He didn’t look like how he did when he left. Everybody is ahead of him. I’m ahead of him. You can’t miss a...

I always built the defense around outside linebackers that could pressure the passer,

We get to do what we do best in his stadium. That gets the players motivated.

I don’t know the guy and I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation with him. But I know he’s a great coach. The film is his resume. He has a great resume.

Being an underdog by one point or 50, it doesn’t matter. I’m glad we are an underdog. Underdogs have more that they can achieve. They have more enjoyment if they’re able to climb to the...

If you’re going to full-press, bump and run, he’s probably the best we’ve got.

I’m thrilled to be here. If June wasn’t here, then I wouldn’t be here.

No griping. No complaining. No one asking, ‘Why me?’
