You've got to be diversified enough. That's the truth in the SEC and in college football.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always felt like, one of the niches is if you can recruit the SEC, you can be a head coach in the SEC.
If you chart SEC champions over a 20-year period, the one consistent thing to me is you're not going to win if you don't have a quarterback. It's too critical of a position. He decides something every play.
When you talk about the SEC, you never get a chance to rest.
I wanted to win an SEC championship and a national championship. Those are the main goals.
I went to Alabama, so I'm still very devoted to Alabama football and the SEC.
Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.
Our coaches want to be a part of South Carolina football when they win it for the first time. When they win the division, when they win the SEC, win a major bowl game, etc. The opportunities to do it all for the first time here make it extra special.
A lot of people think our standard is to be first in the SEC, be first in the country, first in our red zone, and run defense. We really don't go by that motto. We go by, 'Be the best Alabama defense there's been.'
I might not have a conference championship or a national championship as a head coach, but I had the recruiting factor.
I think if you're a good high school player that you have the ability to be a good college football player. If you're a good college football then you have the ability to be a great NFL player.
