Coach

You can't troll somebody who doesn't see it.

I don't really think before I tweet.

You never want your dad to introduce you to a girl.

I have begun to realize just how amazing God's plan can be.

We aspire to be like Jim Harbaugh. No, seriously, he does a great job.

When I was younger I used to read everything. 'Why is this guy saying this, why is this article saying this.' That's one of the things Coach Saban has taught me, he does not listen or read anything that's out there at all. He says 'why am I going to waste my time?'

You have to be yourself. You can't pretend to be somebody else.

There are different things I've done that I wouldn't do again that kept following me. That's the price that you pay when you make mistakes early on.

It's almost like when you don't have money, you think it's important. And once you have it, you're like, 'Was I really happy because I have more money going into the bank? No.'

You can't just go visit somewhere and come away and know how they run their business.

At Tennessee, I said I can't wait to beat Florida in the Swamp and sing 'Rocky Top' all night long. The thing at Tennessee I felt was that there needed to be energy in the program immediately. Two of the last three years there, they were 5-7. Urban Meyer and Nick Saban were at all-time highs. I felt like the fan base and players needed confidence.

Age is irrelevant. Experience is relevant.

In college I was so mad I wasn't playing. The two guys in front of me were Billy Volek and David Carr, but I just realized that was a blessing in disguise, that I was so bad and I never played, so my brain's good.

If I'm cussing at you, swearing at you, calling you demeaning names, are you really thinking about that last play? Am I really helping you get better? Or am I just making myself feel good by demeaning you? I've really never understood it.

When you're little you either want to be like your dad or be directly opposite.

Coaching was always intriguing to me as a kid. Watching 'Monday Night Football' with my dad and hearing him talk through the game management and watching the Tom Landrys and Don Shulas on the sideline was more intriguing to me than watching Troy Aikman or Dan Marino throw the ball.

Anybody can get a job, but what do you do when you have it?

There's not a day goes by that I don't ask, What would Coach Saban do?

My phone was not ringing very much at the time after USC, and that was a very humbling experience after being let go there and to go through that process. You start calling a lot of people that don't call you back all of a sudden, and you realize things about people.
