Lou Holtz
For victory in life, we've got to keep focused on the goal, and the goal is Heaven.
Lou Holtz

Give your players something they can physically do - don't ask them to do something they can't do.
Lou Holtz
I'd say handling people is the most important thing you can do as a coach. I've found every time I've gotten into trouble with a player, it's because I wasn't talking to him enough.
