I've been president of Brown and chancellor of Vanderbilt, where they have very high completion rates.

I feel like I've been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.

I might not have a conference championship or a national championship as a head coach, but I had the recruiting factor.

I never brought it up when I coached, but I have close ties at Ohio State. Unfortunately, I even have a graduate degree from there.

I'll always be a fan of coach Harbaugh. Not too sure about Michigan.

I always felt like, one of the niches is if you can recruit the SEC, you can be a head coach in the SEC.

There's a lot of people who think in order to be a good head coach, you've got to be a head coach at a smaller school.

As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.

I enjoyed coaching so much that I just have to stay with it. Don Coryell - I love him, and I think he was a great coach - but I hear he's going to build a house on some island. He's going to divorce himself from football, and that's a mystery to me.
