As you get older, you should be better at coaching. You learn your lessons. You keep thinking and learning about it, you should be better than you.

I live in the moment. I try to win as many games as I can in any given year. That's what I've always tried to do. But I don't dwell on the past games. That doesn't help you win games now. If that helped win games now, I'd dwell on them.

It's college basketball and there's a certain amount of uncertainty. As an assistant coach, you do the best job you can to win.

I never really thought that I was going to get out of coaching ever. In my fifth year, I thought I might get out. You have those thoughts in any job. But I never really, really thought I was going to get out.

I understand being second-guessed and stuff when an injury happens - certainly I understand that - but that's football.

Preseason football is hard to evaluate. It's never going to be clean for the quarterbacks. You have to overcome the ugly plays and be productive. It's a component of leadership that is necessary. The guys that make it in the league survive that.

Schools are really, really important. It gives you access to every kid in the country. It gives you a massive pool of people to see who might be talented at different sports. It allows kids to try sports. Kids can be inspired all they want, but if they can't go out and try a sport, then it's no good.

I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
