The more games you win the warmer it gets in December.

Bo Schembechler will go down in history as the greatest football coach. He knows the game, he works hard. And he's not a crook.

I've always said that the games in November are the ones you remember.

I've never had any regrets about anything. I live every day like it's gonna be my last one.

I had gotten a master's degree in administration supervision with it in mind that I would some day be a professor, then get a doctorate degree and move up and eventually be president of a university.

The one thing I was really good at was being spontaneous. I was quick-witted. I lost that with my stroke.

Why is Barry Switzer not in the Hall of Fame? I have no idea. He's done everything humanly possible to be in.

I don't appreciate people taking shots and joking at my expense, when I don't do that to anybody else.

I have such respect for the guys at ESPN.

The Heisman is often a career award. Chris Weinke, Michael Vick, Eric Crouch and Drew Brees have all had a more than one great year.

I love college football. I've been involved with college football since 1953. That's a long time as a player, coach and 30 years in television.

I judge a man by the way he treats people who don't count. Woody Hayes was nice to a lot of people he couldn't ever use.

With a woman around, there's a tendency to eliminate vulgarity and profanity and create a more businesslike attitude.

Pass a lot, use some reverses and toss in a gadget play once in a while for the TV audience. None of that detracts from winning.

I never even thought about it, but I think if I had to be known for something it would be that I tried to treat everyone right and nice.

I absolutely loved working with the players at Navy. There are no better young men to coach than those you find at a service academy. I really enjoyed going to work every day because I loved being around those midshipmen.

As bad as some of the teams in the NFL seem to be, they all have way more talent than any college.

Donnie Thomas is simply a superlative linebacker with everything it takes to be an all-American.

I promised my wife 27 years ago when I left Florida State that I'd bring her back to Florida. I'm a little late, but better late than never.

I love Pistol Pete and the pistols. Man, I just love to do that. I put on that Pistol Pete head and shoot those guns, that's fun.

It hurts me not to be able to communicate like I used to. I used to be pretty good at coming back, you know, quick one-liners.

People are moving to Florida all the time, lots of times because the economy got tough in the North and they moved south to find jobs. Everybody who comes has two kids - and one of them is usually a football player.

Don't ever underestimate Mike Gundy throwing the ball with his quarterbacks.

There's a certain amount of pleasure in being able to create something and watch it grow.

Darryl Hill was a fantastic player.

The thrill of winning or losing, or getting on the field and coaching on Saturday afternoons, that's all great. But it's the association with the players, and that's lifelong. That is the one thing you miss and you can't substitute for it.

There is a rule that says there is no age limit in college football. You could be 45 years old, and if you've never been in college and are good enough to play, you can play.

I don't have anything against long hair. I've known some crew-cut bums.

The fans keep me energized, and being surrounded by such a talented and dynamic 'GameDay' crew is the best medicine for this old coach.

You better not kick a field goal if you have a lousy defense.

Tough times were when I didn't have a job and nobody called me.

Words don't go from the brain to the lips in time. That's what a stroke does to you... and that hurts me.

Coaching's not a job, it's a privilege.

It takes at least three years of quality and successful season play before a team can garner preseason respect.

Everybody asks me, 'Lee when did you know it was time to retire?' I said, 'when they quit asking me to coach.' After the Orlando Renegades, not many people were busting down my doors to coach, so why not do something else.

I have nothing against the Razorbacks. In fact, they are one of my favorite teams because they play so hard for Houston Nutt.

I wouldn't coach football now for nothing, and it's because of social media. That just bothers the heck out of me. People blast ya and you don't put their name down.

The bigger, stronger, faster and meaner my players are, the better I coach.

Fisher DeBerry always puts together a great team.

Business is nothing more than relationships. It's the secret.

I have a soft spot for Iowa.

Drew Henson could go down as the greatest quarterback in the history of Michigan football.

1958 was my first year as a defensive backfield coach at Florida State. I remember one thing about that game: It was so cold. It was freezing.

The Florida Gator head is long and funny looking. It scrapes my nose. Every time I put that thing on I get scraped and blood comes down my face.

To be a contender in the Big Ten a squad must have a solid player at every position.

This job is like stealing. I travel first class in a nice plane. I have a driver waiting for me. I go in a room and have room service. I have a meeting. Then I go to the best game of the weekend and talk football - and they pay me.

Randy Moss was a fad. People were looking for some way to vote against Peyton Manning.

Since Mark Richt took his offense from Florida State to Georgia, Florida State has been floundering. They have no identity. They have a bunch of plays, but they have no system and no philosophy.

Remember one thing about ESPN: People can be critical of them sometimes for being a large corporation but nine years ago I had a stroke and I couldn't talk. That's the way I made my living. ESPN could've dumped me very easy, but they didn't. They helped me and presented me an opportunity to get back on the air.

In life, passion is the secret to success.
