More quotes by Woody Hayes
I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face.
Woody Hayes
Without winners, there would be no civilization.
Woody Hayes
You don't get hurt running straight ahead...three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense. I will pound you and pound you until you quit.
Woody Hayes
The five big mistakes in football are the fumble, the interception, the penalty, the badly called play, the blocked punt—and most of these originate with the quarterback. Find a mistake-proof quarterback and you have this game won.
Woody Hayes
I am not very smart, but I recognize that I am not very smart.
Woody Hayes
You can never pay back, so you should always try to pay forward.
Woody Hayes

Woody Hayes
You can outwork anybody. Try it, you will find out that you can do it.
Woody Hayes

Woody Hayes
No back in the history of football was ever worth two fumbles a game.
Woody Hayes
You can never really pay back. You can only pay forward.
Woody Hayes
Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.
Woody Hayes
Winners are men who have dedicated their whole lives to winning.
Woody Hayes
We do not pull in and fill up. And I'll tell you why we don't. It's because I don't buy one goddamn drop of gas in the state of Michigan. We'll coast and push this goddamn car to the Ohio line before I give this state a nickel of my money.
