Courage Is Doing Something You Need To

Discipline To Me Is Sacrifice; It's Willingness To Give Up Something You Want To Do, So You Can Better Yourself.

People That Are Brilliant And Successful, We Think They've Just Always Been That Way. That's Not The Case. Most Of Them Have Had Some Tough Adversity In Their Life. It's Prepared Them. I've Never Felt Like You Could Develop Character Without Adversity.

A Better Ending Could Not Have Been Scripted. Of Course, If We Had Won, That Would Have Been Better.

As Good As We Were, We Didn’t Win A National Championship Until 1993, Mainly Because We Kept Losing To Miami On Missed Kicks. I Used To Get Mad Because Nobody Else Would Play Miami. Notre Dame Would Play Them, Then Drop Them. Florida Dropped Them. Penn State Dropped Them. We Would Play Miami And Lose By One Point On A Missed Field Goal, And It Would Knock Us Out Of The National Championship. I Didn’t Want To Play Them, Either, But I Had To Play Them. That’s Why I Said, 'when I Die, They’ll Say, ‘at Least He Played Miami.'

He Died Right After He Retired, And Seeing That Made Me Feel More Conscious Of A Man Needing A Motive To Live. If I Ever Got Out Of Coaching, I Would Have To Get A Job Somewhere, Or I'm Afraid I'd Wilt On The Vine, Too.
