Every kid I've been around as a football player, they want their coaches to make them better as men and as players.

Sometimes I miss coaching, but often things are not how they appear in football.

Both of my sons used to coach high school football. When they started, I'd say things I shouldn't have. So I learned my lesson.

If you're a coach, you're a teacher.

Becoming a coach has to be in your blood. There are hundreds and thousands of former athletes out there, but there are maybe only 10 people who want to dedicate their lives by taking on a job as a coach. Not only a master, a coach should also be a brother or sister to his apprentices.

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

There were high school coaches such as Charles Boston that took me under his wing and taught me the fundamentals of football. And when I went to college there was Robert Hill who took me there and he showed me what hard work and determination would do if you put forth the effort and you take a little time.

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

When I was a kid growing up, my dad being a football coach, he asked the same question of all the assistants that he ever hired: 'Is your goal to be a head football coach?'

I started out wanting to coach football.
