I'm going to be the next head coach at Notre Dame.

When I left the University of Notre Dame, I honestly felt I would never coach again.

If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who's been successful at another college program, they're going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.

I didn't really want to be the coach who wins but the coach who educates.

Notre Dame was my dream school growing up. But in recruiting, they had some other plans, what position they wanted me to play.

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 don't see why I should be a dame for just doing what I always wanted to do.

You don't go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

I'm the seventh chancellor at Vanderbilt; Bobby Johnson is the 25th head football coach. That shows a lack of commitment to attract and retain.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.
