If you chart SEC champions over a 20-year period, the one consistent thing to me is you're not going to win if you don't have a quarterback. It's too critical of a position. He decides something every play.

I could finish my career being a defensive coordinator and say, 'Hey, he's Mickey Andrews.'

My goal is to outwork everybody in recruiting, sign the best players in the state, and turn these guys into the best team we can.

If an athlete takes a shortcut - literally, for example, by running a street that shortens the marathon route by a quarter mile - he or she doesn't have an insurmountable advantage.

After the abrupt death of my mother, Jane, on Sept. 5, 1991, of a disease called amyloidosis, my dad took up golf at 57.

But in mourning, Dad turned Job-like to golf, a game of frustration and golf widows and solitary hours on the range.

You play 20 games, you have one bad game, I think any team in this league will live with that.

It's very difficult today for girls to become supermodels.
