“Al Davis fires everybody.”

“Everything we own really belongs to God, we are just renting it, and when we die those things are going to become somebody else's possessions.”

“I always try to find better ways to do things. Whether it's a game plan, a practice, a meeting, an interview, whatever it is. I'm going to find a way to find a way to analyze it and find a better way to do it. That's my mindset. I've never been satisfied with anything. That's just my mindset. I'm always trying to find a better way to do things.”

“Toughness isn't that you've got to fight with the guy after the play or punch him because he punched you. That's not tough. That's dumb.”

“I don't think there's a person out there who can say they haven't done something they regret.”

“I don't think you've done something by getting a job. I think you've done something by proving you can succeed at that job.”

“When you're a sports figure and people dislike you, they're going to look for the negatives.”

“To be able to go through what I've gone through and still be fortunate before the age of 40 to still be here to be offensive coordinator with Coach Saban at Alabama, you take some time to reflect on that.”

“I know I rubbed people the wrong way.”

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

“Coach Saban and I have a great relationship, regardless of what people may think.”

“I'm always willing to look at my actions, and do them better.”

“I think of things as competition when people say you can't do something.”

“As far as the bowl games, I don't think the players really play for that. Not at USC.”

“I needed Nick Saban more than I needed Pete Carroll.”

“Three years under Saban changed me. He's the best coach in the world at what he does.”

“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.”

“I really enjoy challenges.”

“I'm not naive.”

“Any time that you get big titles or head jobs at a young age, there's going to be that factor. 'He didn't pay his dues.'”
