As long as I've been at Clemson, there's not a guy that's more committed to Clemson than Kelly Bryant. There's not a better leader. This guy, he's the epitome of what you want. He's what you want your son to be like. I love him like a son. ”

The key to coaching is love. It's not knowledge; it's not discipline. If you love 'em, you can discipline them. If you love 'em, you can yell at them and laugh about it later. ”

When you get a young group of people that believe, are passionate... and committed to a single purpose, you better look out. Great things can happen. ”

As I've said many times, it's one thing to dream about something; it's another thing to experience it. It's one thing to think you're good enough; it's another thing to know you're good enough. ”

I'm thankful for the experience and to be able to coach other young people on their journey through college football. It's a privilege. ”

You better have an anchor in life. It doesn't matter if you're a Division I head football coach or Joe Schmo from Okemoh. Bad things happen. If you're not anchored, you're going to be washed away. ”

My entire life, nothing's been easy. This is the way it ought to be. ”

There's a lot of 'oops' from us in life as people. I always say that God never says 'oops.' That's just kind of how I've always lived my life, but we're so imperfect that there's a lot of times that we say, 'Oops, my bad.' ”

I've never failed at anything in my life. ”

Everybody sees me now, and I'm the head coach at Clemson and this and that, but my life hasn't always been this way. ”
