Anytime you're a defensive player and your eyes aren't on your key, you're going to have an issue.

I just like to get better every day.

You know, my wife is a south Florida girl. She was born and raised in Tampa so she's traditionally lived in the South.

You can't skip a step and assume you're going to get to where you want to be.

I'm a momma's boy at heart.

I've never taken a cooking class. I've never gone to a cooking show. I've never read a recipe in my life.

I have cooked for a recruit. The biggest recruit of my life: my wife.

If you want to recruit somebody of high character and value, somebody you can trust to not only watch your house, but your children, someone you can count on to share carries of 1,000 yards each rather than trying to get 1,800 for one, now you're going to build something that matters.

We have a social media background screening that you've got to go through and if you have a social media nickname or something on your Twitter account that makes me sick, I'm not going to recruit you.

Any time you see something out there floating around that's not really reality, it's better to just cease it and stop it.

Obviously when you come into competition with other schools and you become aware of anything that concerns you, you have an obligation to say something.

You can't tap somebody in the helmet and say, 'Go be physical.' If you're not physical, you can't play physical, and that's a big part of what we believe in.

The truest definition of faith is having the belief you're going somewhere that you can't see, whether it's religion or football or learning to ride a bike.

I'm not a comedian.

The more you press, the more you try to make something more than it needs to be, you probably end up misfiring.

Arkansas is very intriguing to me because it is the only show in the state. Obviously, without a professional team and to have the only Division I football team playing at the level that it's at, it kind of draws unified support throughout the whole state. When you've got that, it's something special.

You want your assistants to move up. But you want it to be a hard decision. You want them to only be willing to leave if they're walking into a dream situation. You don't want money to ever be a factor.

My players mean the world to me.

I'd never been on a plane until I went to the Peach Bowl my freshman year at Iowa.

Education is the best way to relieve someone from a bad thought process.

I'm not afraid to say what I feel.

I think that the role as a head football coach is a lot more than just winning games. Sometimes that's all we're measured upon.

Scars remind you of difficult places in your life that you've championed.

I am a big believer in life in this fact: Scars are a very beautiful thing.

I think when a man shows his true emotions, it's a really good indicator off what he is.

If your offensive and defensive lines are speaking and people are listening, you've got a very good chance of success.

I thought as a young coach, there were times when my head coach might have prohibited me from moving forward. I always said if I am ever in that position, I'll do anything I can to make our guys move forward.

If you say you're a football coach, especially with a dude, they're always all over you.

If my girl ends up playing football, we probably got a lot of problems. I'll encourage her to do whatever, but playing football ain't one of them.

I was single for so long, for 42 years.

There's so much in the world that has already been done, but there are plenty of things left for people who want to go get it.
