Just being in the locker room as a young person growing up was something I've always enjoyed, without ever having it forced upon me.

When I grew up, and I've said this a lot, but I was a long time Oklahoma fan. I always followed them all the way while growing up in Ohio.

I'm especially thankful for being able to coach so many talented young men over my 18 years here. It has been so rewarding to see these players come to OU and mature over a four- or five-year career, and not just on the field. To play a small part in their growth is what I will always cherish the most.

I was an undersized, undertalented defensive back. I knocked myself out multiple times running into people. I ended my career without an anterior cruciate ligament. I still don't have one. At a certain point, you realize: I've used up all I've got.

I've never actually played an Australian or worked in Australia. I really want to change that. I really want to work here - that would be great.

I like rhyme because it is memorable, I like form because having to work to a pattern gives me original ideas.

Some of our finest work comes through service to others.

You feel different every day of your life. You just have to create your own space to survive, personally and professionally.
