It's impossible to remove agendas.

I love college football. I love the game.

Patty Gasso is the best. I think she's awesome.

I think proximity in recruiting matters the most.

Every now and then a little bit of change never hurts.

Everyone has to earn their money one way or the other.

When people ask me where I'm from I say I'm from Oklahoma.

Everyone wants you to define your life until the end of your life.

Anytime we lose a game, there it goes. The roller coaster's going down.

I've just been around a lot of just quality coaches that I've learned from.

I can't remember the last time I've been to a football game as a spectator.

You know, if I've done anything right, it has been hiring the right people.

I may have to buy an RV and learn how to tailgate and get the charcoal going.

You've got to put the work in every week. You can't take anything for granted.

Team chemistry is what really matters, your team chemistry and team toughness.

It definitely gives you a boost away from home and being down and coming back.

There has to be measures for players to know the consequences for their actions.

Carl Pendleton's the absolute best. He's everything you want in a student-athlete.

I've been with some great head coaches, but also some great assistant coaches, too.

Coaches around the country are influencing the next generation of men in a positive way.

If you keep hanging on to something, you've got an opportunity to keep getting hurt by it.

Coach Spurrier, without question, has been the biggest influence to me, next to my father.

I have been very fortunate to coach a lot of very good secondary players through the years.

No, I'm never pleased if we don't win some type of championship, meaning Big 12 or national.

I'm a huge wrestling fan. Wrestlers have so many great qualities that athletes need to have.

The characteristic that every college football coach should look for in a wife is independence.

Football is all about repetition. The trick for a coach is to be innovative when you ask for it.

I've got great respect for all the teams in the SEC as well as the Big 12, the Big Ten, on and on.

I love Jim Tressel. I think he's a fabulous guy. He's overall been a strong example for all coaches.

Big 12 Championship is, to me, it's always your primary goal to start with because it's not easy to do.

The coaching life is like a relay race and I'm thankful for my turn and am confident as I pass the baton.

No one wants to hear that, but life changes. If it changes, you have to change with it, to whatever degree.

Anytime you win 10 games, let's look around the world, the country, and there's not a lot that do it consistently.

Coach Snyder was just a determined guy. I was at the ground floor at Kansas State. I learned a lot from that experience.

We could fill up a whole hour's television show talking about coach's recruiting stories, I love them, they're the best.

It's impossible to know what everyone does behind closed doors. Even in families, you don't know sometimes what's going on.

Depending on where you're at or the ownership you're working for, some of the college jobs may be better than some in the NFL.

In the end, everybody's life's different. Some things fit certain ways for people, and it's right, and maybe it isn't for others.

I don't want to say [the teams] are mirror images of each other, ... but there's a lot of similarities on both sides of the ball.

Just being in the locker room as a young person growing up was something I've always enjoyed, without ever having it forced upon me.

When I grew up, and I've said this a lot, but I was a long time Oklahoma fan. I always followed them all the way while growing up in Ohio.

Our players are educated. They know. If you knowingly break the rules, we're going to move on. We'll find someone else to play quarterback.

It's a life issue more than anything when you're dealing with racism anywhere... It's a life issue - bigger than sports, bigger than football.

I'm thankful that my career at Oklahoma was marked with consistent leadership in president David Boren and director of athletics Joe Castiglione.

Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure.

Stepping down after 18 years as the head football coach here at Oklahoma, and I feel like I've absolutely been the luckiest, most fortunate guy in the world.

Spend a day around my players, around my African-American players, my Hispanic players, my Polynesian players, and you'll see the true beauty of who they are.

Surely, AP or the coaches are all aware everybody has agendas. Anybody who's on TV has one. You know, that's viewership and ratings and those kinds of things.

I appreciate the history and tradition of Notre Dame. I also appreciate the history and tradition of Oklahoma, and I have been part of building that tradition here.
