I just look back at my entire life. You know, my faith. I knew that I was where I was supposed to be. ”

For me, and I've been on record saying it, let's create two leagues: one for players who want the college football experience, and another for those that want to get paid, have the NFL help fund it, whatever. Guys who don't want to go to school to get an education, let them go to work. ”

My vision is for other schools to be like Clemson. My vision is to build a model program. ”

I'm not a sympathetic guy when I see people throwing their lives away and using their life's obstacles as excuses to fail. I just don't buy into that. ”

You're looking at a guy who grew up in the state of Alabama, and my dream was to play there. ”

I hate the fact that, all of a sudden now, it's not cool to go to the Gator Bowl. Are you kidding me? I don't like that mindset. ”

If you grow up with traditions in your family, it's always nice to be able to get home and have those moments. ”

I think God has got a sense of humor. I really do. ”

For me personally, joy comes from focusing on Jesus, others, and yourself. ”

Trust me, people that know me know I ain't perfect, but I do try to live my life in a way that hopefully can be pleasing to my maker because I know I'm going to meet Him one day, and He's not going to pat me on the back and talk about how many wins I had or how many Coach of the Year trophies we got or how much money I made. ”
