When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.

My dream, I remember, when I went to boarding school, was to have a study all my own, a little nook someplace where nobody could get at me - nobody, like the football coach.

I can't imagine going to an all-girls school. I went to a public school.

If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some little school where they didn't recruit, where all the kids wanted to go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.

I never dreamed I would coach at UCLA. It was not one of those things in my coaching career I thought would happen. It's a tremendous blessing, and I'm going to make the most of it.

I want to coach high school football, and that's always what I've wanted to do.

I started out wanting to coach football.

But I was still hoping to be able to coach and teach.

I'm sure that had I not been a coach, I would have been some form of a teacher.

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