What makes LSU is the environment and the fans and those guys wearing the jerseys. They're really good players.

I don't like disrespecting other teams.

If you can raise the level of effort and performance in those around you, you are officially a leader.

I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to re-evaluate my priorities of faith and family.

Elite warriors, when they accomplish their mission, they celebrate.

At the end of the day, I'm very convinced that you're going to be judged on how you are as a husband and as a father and not on how many bowl games we won.

It's competition. It's putting them in environments, in situations where I want to see who the fighters are and who they guys are that are going to compete. And there will be rewards at the end of the day. Gatorade if you win. You drink out of a water hose if you lose and do some running. And that includes the coaching staff.

Coaches do get very nervous.

You don't get 5 years to build a team any more. You get 2 if you're lucky.

The future is bright at Ohio State.

I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved.

It is so easy to be average. It takes a little something to be special. Why be around average?

I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved. Well-prepared players make plays. I have yet to be in a game where the most prepared team didn't win.

Anyone can run the option. I can run the option.
